Ben Roethlisberger and I met yesterday morning.

本-羅斯伯格和我昨天早上見過面。

We had a productive meeting.

我們舉行了一次富有成效的會議。

We were able to discuss a lot of things that relate to where we are and where we want to go, then assured me that he has committed to coming back to help us win on.

我們能夠討論很多與我們現在的位置和我們想要去的地方有關的事情，然後向我保證，他已經承諾回來幫助我們贏得上。

I told Ben that we would like to have him back to help us win a championship.

我告訴本，我們希望他能回來幫助我們贏得冠軍。

We both understand the next step is to work out Ben's contract situation.

我們都明白，下一步就是要解決本的合同情況。

So those air from Art Rooney and those are literally coming in as we speak.

所以那些來自阿特・魯尼的空氣，這些都是在我們說話的時候進來的。

Those as I read those to you were the first time I've heard them.

我讀給你聽的那些是我第一次聽到。

So Dan Graziano, when you hear that, my insider, what should we take away from that?

所以Dan Graziano，當你聽到這個消息的時候，我的內幕，我們應該從中得到什麼？

Well, if they if they really wanna work out the contract situation, it could take about five minutes.

好吧，如果他們... ...如果他們真的想解決合同的情況， 這可能需要大約五分鐘。

I'll do it for them.

我會為他們做的。

He's not scheduled to make 41.25 million this year.

他今年的收入沒有安排在4125萬。

That's his cap hit.

這是他的上限打。

He's scheduled to make 19 million this year.

他今年計劃賺1900萬。

The rest is left over charges from previous contract stuff.

其餘的是以前合同東西的剩餘費用。

So if you want to take that 19 million convert, all of it into a signing bonus other than the minimum salary, which for him will be 1.75 Extend the deal out four more years and have it automatically void after this year.

所以，如果你想把這1900萬換算一下，全部換成除最低工資以外的簽約獎金，對他來說就是1.75 延長4年，今年過後自動失效。

Now you've got the cap it down to about $27 million.

現在你已經把上限降到了2700萬左右。

That's it.

就這樣吧

The only other option, if he wants to be on the team, is if he gives them money back.

如果他想在隊裡，唯一的選擇，就是他把錢還給他們。

If he does not take all of that 19 million that is owed to him this year, and that would be a drastic and somewhat unprecedented step for a quarterback has accomplished as he is, if he's willing to knock that number down or get rid of it entirely, all with the minimum salary, then they could save even more.

如果他不把今年欠他的那1900萬全部拿出來，這對於一個四分衛來說，這將是一個劇烈的、有些史無前例的一步，因為他已經取得了成就，如果他願意把這個數字打下來，或者完全擺脫，所有的最低工資，那麼他們可以節省更多。

But again, I think that would be pretty surprising.

但我又覺得這將是非常令人驚訝的。

Wait, Dominic, before I let you go, let me just quickly confirmed what they were talking about.

等等，多米尼克，在我讓你走之前，讓我快速確認一下他們在說什麼。

Dan Graziano that would knock down the cap hit or it would just knock down the money he would get well, both.

丹-格拉齊亞諾那會打掉上限，或者只是打掉他能拿到的錢，都可以。

I mean, right.

我的意思是，對。

It would knock down if he were to take a full on pay cut to the minimum cell again.

如果他再全額減薪到最低細胞，那就會敲下來。

This is fantasyland that former president of the NFLPA is there shaking his head, and justifiably so.

這是奇幻世界NFLPA前主席在那裡搖頭，也是情理之中。

But that would take it down.

但這樣一來就會把它拿下。

Lucky we're not save about 17 million instead of about 14 million.

幸運的是我們沒有節省1700萬而不是1400萬。

That's how the math works.

這就是數學的原理。

But again, that's a big if.

但是，這又是一個很大的如果。

I think what happens is the first thing I said, a restructure and extension that saves them about Welby.

我想發生的事情就是我說的第一件事，重組和延期，拯救他們關於韋爾比。

14.34 million this year.

今年1434萬。

Okay, go ahead.

好吧，去吧。

That is not even on the table giving money back.

那是連給錢都不放在眼裡的。

Like you say.

就像你說的

A lot of things that that that get under my skin and we all are going here in good fun and good fun.

很多事情，讓我的皮膚下，我們都會在這裡在良好的樂趣和樂趣。

But that's the first time you said anything that actually made me really angry like No, do not even suggest that.

但是，這是你第一次說的東西，實際上讓我真的很生氣，如不，甚至不建議。

Don't put that on the table.

不要把這個放在桌子上。

That somebody's gonna be given some money back.

有人會得到一些錢回來。

You guys can work around the cap hits anyway, You wanted the point that you made.

反正你們可以繞過上限命中，你要的就是你說的那個點。

I thought it was a good one.

我覺得這是個好東西。

But part of it you left out is if they do extend him, convert his salary some of the salary to sign his bonus in extend him and advertise that costs over the next several years.

但你漏掉的部分是，如果他們真的續約他，將他的工資中的一部分轉換為簽下他的獎金在續約他，並在未來幾年內宣傳這個費用。

Like then, he will be a drag on their salary cap once he is off the team.

就像那時，一旦他離開球隊，他就會成為他們工資帽的拖累。

So there are not only making decisions that will affect this year's team if they do something like that, those are limitations that will affect the team after he's gone.

所以，如果做這樣的決定，不僅會影響到今年的球隊，這些都是侷限性，會影響到他走後的球隊。

So these are all things they have to consider that it's a risk worth taking a thing worth doing.

所以這些都是他們要考慮到這是一個值得承擔風險的事情，值得做的事情。

If you think you are about to win a championship, if you don't, then I think it's a It's a interesting decision that you have to make with one of your legends or with your legendary quarterback, two time Super Bowl champ.

如果你認為你即將贏得冠軍，如果你不這樣做，那麼我認為這是一個有趣的決定，你必須與你的傳奇之一或與你的傳奇四分衛，兩次超級碗冠軍一起做出。

I'm not sure I would advise them to do any of that.

我不確定我是否會建議他們這樣做。

I'm certainly not advising anybody to give back some money that's foolish down real quick.

我當然不建議任何人去還一些傻乎乎的錢，真正的快下來。

Just so people just so people know I've done the math on this.

只是為了讓人們... ...讓人們知道我已經計算過了。

If they do the full on maximum voidable years extension, they would say 14.34 million on this year's cap.

如果他們做全上最大可無效年限的延長，他們今年的上限將說1434萬。

But they would carry a 14.34 million charge for him on next year's cap, assuming he retires in the contract void.

但假設他在合同無效期退役，他們會在明年的上限上為他揹負1434萬的費用。

So that's the effect.

所以這就是效果。

It would have beyond this year that Dominique is talking about.

它會有超越今年多米尼克所說的。

Alright.

好吧，我知道了

So Tory Let let's let's put some football into the football conversation here because, assuming they can figure out the money.

所以，托里讓我們在這裡把足球的話題，因為，假設他們能想出錢來。

One of the questions you ask yourself is, At what point do you need to start addressing my future at quarterback?

你問自己的一個問題是，你需要在什麼時候開始解決我在四分衛的未來？

Are the Steelers as constituted now with a couple of realistic moves that could make this offseason?

現在構成的鋼人隊在這個休賽期有幾個現實的動作嗎？

And Ben Roethlisberger is their quarterback?

而本-羅斯伯格是他們的四分衛？

Are they a contender toe win a championship in the near future?

他們在不久的將來是否會成為冠軍的競爭者？

Tory, Yes or no?

託利黨，是還是不是？

With Ben Roethlisberger there, you always stand a chance with Mike Tomlin leading his team.

有本-羅斯伯格在，有邁克-湯姆林帶隊，你總是有機會。

Now I will say this the best option, regardless of free agency or the draft for this season, is a cheaper Ben Roethlisberger, so they will work out something that fits the salary cap.

現在我要說的是，不管是自由市場還是本賽季的選秀，最好的選擇是一個更便宜的本-羅斯伯格，所以他們會解決一些符合工資帽的問題。

But going forward, they're gonna have to draft a quarterback, and they've been trying on the back end of rounds.

但往後，他們得選一個四分衛，他們一直在後幾輪嘗試。

But it hurts you when you're a decent team.

但當你是一個體面的團隊時，它傷害了你。

In terms of find that franchise guy early, you're gonna have to develop that guy, but they do have Dwayne Haskins, who's going to get a second chance of Pittsburgh, so we'll see what he can grow and develop into.

在早期找到那個特許經營的傢伙方面，你必須發展那個傢伙，但他們確實有德維恩-哈斯金斯，他將獲得匹茲堡的第二次機會，所以我們將看到他可以成長和發展成什麼。

But you have to make that decision now because you're talking about a quarterback who's flirted with retirement for the past two years.

但你必須現在就做出決定，因為你說的是一個四分衛，他在過去兩年裡一直在調侃退休。

So you don't want big men to leave.

所以你不希望大人物離開。

Not only a huge hit, your salary kept going forward, but also avoid at the quarterback position.

不僅大打出手，你的薪水不斷前進，而且在四分衛位置上也避免。

So you have to address that at some point this year in the draft.

所以你必須在今年選秀的某個時間點解決這個問題。

All right, something to keep an eye on.

好吧，有些東西要注意。

But again, that's new information.

但是，這又是新的資訊。

Art Rooney.

阿特-魯尼。

Those quotes just came into our newsroom literally moments ago.

這些報價剛剛進入我們的新聞室，就在剛才。

We will see all signs do point towards Roethlisberger playing at least one more year in Pittsburgh.

我們會看到所有的跡象確實指向羅斯伯格在匹茲堡至少再打一年。
