As always the key is to negotiate with the team to avoid the need to frontload. Almost no players are "stolen" by signing off sheets and having the team not match. I suspect that Sanders could be had for a decent cap hit if the steelers are really ready to let him walk. As it is, if we made an offer, we would have to live with the frontloaded hit, unless the steelers matched (and then renegotiated with Sanders). We would have lost 5 days of use of the cap money.
Sanders seems a bit like a pipe dream at this point, at least without someone restructuring. An offer that the Steelers don't match will tie up too much cap space, won't it?
