14 million, for 19 million in his final year of his contract.

1400萬，在合同的最後一年以1900萬。

That spread the cash payment through 2022 out, lowering the cap hit by over 15 million.

這就把2022年的現金支付攤開了，降低了1500多萬的上限打擊。

That's huge, Big Ben said Quote.

這是巨大的，大本營說報價。

It's my greatest honor to be a Pittsburgh Steeler and give my all for this organization.

能成為匹茲堡鋼人，為這個組織奉獻自己的一切，是我最大的榮幸。

Now the question is, who can they surround him with?

現在的問題是，他們能用誰來包圍他？

And so big Ben and the Steelers were off to a great start last season, As you all know.

所以大本和鋼人隊在上個賽季有了一個很好的開端，大家都知道。

They, of course, ended up with that 11 game win streak.

當然，他們最後還是取得了那11場連勝。

But it got pretty ugly once they lost to Washington in Week 13.

但一旦他們在第13周輸給華盛頓，情況就變得非常醜陋。

Over their last five games, Roethlisberger coughed up a league high eight picks despite facing the second lowest blitz rate in that span.

在過去的五場比賽中，儘管在這段時間內面對的突擊率倒數第二，但羅斯伯格還是咳出了聯盟最高的8次皮球。

There are other pieces of why that happened, but Dan Graziano, we start with you, explain some of the details of this pay cut for Ben and exactly what it means.

為什麼會發生這樣的事情，還有其他的一些片段，但是丹-格拉齊亞諾，我們從你開始，解釋一下本的這次降薪的一些細節，到底意味著什麼。

So they reached a point where he said he wanted to be back.

所以他們到了一個地步，他說他想回來。

They said they wanted him back, so they spent the last week or so, working on how he was supposed to make 19 million.

他們說想讓他回來，所以他們花了一週左右的時間，研究他應該如何賺取1900萬。

This year, that number goes down to 14 million, and what they do is they take almost all of that converted to a signing bonus.

今年，這個數字降到了1400萬，而他們的做法是，他們幾乎把這些錢都拿去換算成簽約獎金。

And then they add four fake years on the end of the contract starting next year so they can spread the signing bonus out for cap purposes.

然後他們從明年開始在合同末尾加上4個假年限，這樣他們就可以把簽約獎金分攤到上限。

End result.

最後的結果。

A cap number that was going to be right around 41 million for Ben Roethlisberger goes down to right around 26 million.

本-羅斯伯格的上限數字本來是4100萬左右，現在卻降到了2600萬左右。

So they save $15 million on this year's cap.

所以他們在今年的上限上節省了1500萬美元。

They're going to have a cap charge for next year of at least $10 million but they'll worry about that next year.

他們明年的上限費用至少有1000萬，但明年他們會擔心這個問題。

In the meantime, they needed that room so they could put some pieces, as you mentioned around Ben Roethlisberger.

同時，他們需要那個空間，這樣他們就可以放一些東西，就像你提到的本-羅斯伯格身邊的東西。

A lot of free agents, a lot of big decisions still to make for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

很多自由球員，匹茲堡鋼人隊還有很多重大決定要做。

And obviously Ben has the right reasons of being interested in making sure other people could get paid here.

顯然，本有興趣確保其他人能在這裡得到報酬的正確理由。

Marcus, Was this the right choice for the Steelers, though at quarterback?

馬庫斯，對於鋼人隊來說，雖然在四分衛的位置上，這是一個正確的選擇嗎？

Yes, it was.

是的，它是。

Listen, we all know it's with a caveat.

聽著，我們都知道這是有前提的。

Because if you thought if we thought any of these potential trades for quarterbacks would have the Steelers involved, we'd be having a different conversation.

因為如果你認為... ...如果我們認為這些潛在的四分衛交易會有鋼人隊的參與，我們就會有不同的對話。

And I'm sure the Steelers would operate different.

而我相信鋼鐵隊的操作會有所不同。

But I don't want to go into a season with Mason, Rudolph and Dwayne Haskins as my only quarterbacks.

但我不想在一個賽季裡，梅森、魯道夫和德維恩-哈金斯是我唯一的四分衛。

And being being insulated is the key here.

而被絕緣是這裡的關鍵。

Remember Peyton Manning in Denver?

還記得丹佛的佩頓-曼寧嗎？

Remember Philip Rivers last year in Indianapolis, not asking those guys to put the team on their back?

還記得去年在印第安納波利斯的菲利普-裡弗斯，不是要求那些人把球隊背起來嗎？

That should be the Steelers approach.

這應該是鋼隊的做法。

Being can still throw.

存在還可以扔。

He can still put the ball where it needs to be.

他仍然可以把球放在需要的地方。

Obviously, his mobility is an issue.

很明顯，他的行動力是個問題。

Like for most older quarterbacks, the Steelers have their work cut out for them as far as making sure being is insulated in this offense to where you're not asking him to do more or go beyond what he has the capacity to do.

就像大多數年長的四分衛一樣，鋼人隊有他們的工作，至於確保被是在這個進攻中絕緣的地方，你不要求他做更多的事情或超越他有能力做的事情。

And as long as the Pittsburgh Steelers do that, then Big Ben is very capable of playing to a high enough level in order to have success with this football team.

而只要匹茲堡鋼人隊做到了這一點，那麼大本很有能力打出足夠高的水準，才能在這支足球隊獲得成功。

Yeah, Dan, you hear what Marcus is saying about?

是啊，丹，你聽到馬庫斯說什麼了嗎？

Maybe Big Ben being insulated you think Ben coming off of last year?

也許大本營被絕緣你認為本從去年開始？

Of course, he's coming off the surgery.

當然，他剛做完手術。

He's still good enough to just win these games if he's asked to win them on his own.

如果讓他自己去贏這些比賽的話，他還是很厲害的，只是贏了。

No, not anymore.

不，不再是了。

Nor should he be asked to do that.

也不應該要求他這樣做。

So, like the question becomes, What now For Pittsburgh?

所以，像問題變成了，現在匹茲堡怎麼辦？

First of all, fixed the offensive line.

首先，固定進攻線。

You know Zach Banner.

你知道扎克-班納。

Free agent Villanueva.

自由球員維拉紐瓦。

Free agent Pouncey retired.

自由身的龐塞退役了。

You have to fix the offensive line before that.

在這之前，你必須先解決進攻線的問題。

You get to a step to once you do that.

你一旦這樣做，就會到一個步驟到。

Step to what's your offensive philosophy?

步到你的進攻理念是什麼？

It can't be the same as last year.

不可能和去年一樣。

You tried to ask Big Ben to carry you so much.

你想叫大班揹你這麼多。

There's gotta be a rhyme and reason.

一定要有韻律和理由。

Old school foundation, New Age philosophy.

老派基礎，新時代理念。

You gotta get the run game going somewhat.

你得讓跑動的遊戲有點。

You've got a draft of back that's going to be an impactful back early in this draft for this offense.

你已經得到了一個後衛的選拔，在這次選拔中，他將成為這個進攻中早期的一個有影響力的後衛。

And then the third thing is, what is the answer at wide receiver?

然後第三件事是，外接手的答案是什麼？

Okay, we saw Claypool.

好吧 我們看到了Claypool

Come on.

來吧。

But first of all, Deontay Johnson, do you think the drops are an issue or are those cured?

但首先，德昂泰-約翰遜，你認為滴是一個問題，還是那些被治癒了？

And then is there any opportunity to bring juju back.

然後是否有機會讓juju回來。

So those are the big Three questions.

所以這就是三大問題。

Offensive line.

攻擊線。

Fix it, too.

把它也修好。

What's the offensively offensive philosophy now that bends there in three?

現在的進攻理念是什麼，三下五除二就彎在那裡了？

What are you going to do it?

你打算怎麼做？

Wide receiver Graz?

外接手格拉茨?

Let's answer some of Dan's big questions here.

我們在這裡回答一下丹哥的一些大問題。

What are some of those limitations for the Steelers With those free agents?

對於鋼人隊來說，那些自由球員的限制有哪些？

Well, it's very difficult.

嗯，這是非常困難的。

Obviously.

很明顯

They have calf issues prior to this restructure, restructure or new contract, whatever it is for Ben Roethlisberger.

他們在這次重組之前就有小腿問題，重組或者新合同，不管是本-羅斯伯格。

So they've got to look at Juju Smith Schuster.

所以他們得看看朱朱史密斯舒斯特。

Are they going to be able to afford him?

他們能養得起他嗎？

Depends what he's looking for.

要看他在找什麼。

If he's looking for a big payday, they probably do go with some of those younger guys.

如果他想拿大筆的薪水，他們可能確實會選擇一些年輕的人。

I doubt they can bring back Bud Dupree, who was a franchise player for them this year.

我懷疑他們能不能把巴德-杜普利帶回來，他是他們今年的加盟球員。

They still have T.

他們還有T。

J.

J.

Watt coming up for an extension here sometime within the next year, so he's going to be difficult to keep Dan mentioned.

瓦特在未來一年內的某個時候要來這裡續約，所以他很難留住丹提到。

Mike Pouncey retired.

Mike Pouncey退役了。

I mean, it's nice to have Ben Roethlisberger back, but you've got to have somebody to snap the ball to him or else you can't get the place started and the offense doesn't work at all.

我的意思是，有本-羅斯伯格回來是件好事，但你必須有人把球扣給他，否則你無法讓這個地方開始，進攻根本無法進行。

So Pittsburgh Steelers This is a high priority position in the history of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

所以匹茲堡鋼人隊這是匹茲堡鋼人隊歷史上一個高度優先的位置。

The position of center Pittsburgh Steelers centers go to the Hall of Fame.

中鋒的位置匹茲堡鋼人隊中鋒進入名人堂。

They will try to fill that, but it's going to take a lot of their financial resources and energy to put that offensive line together.

他們會努力去填補，但要把這條進攻線組建起來，需要花費他們大量的財力和精力。

And I'm not sure that leaves a lot of room for the James Connors juju.

而且我不確定這是否給詹姆斯-康納斯留下了很大的空間。

Smith Schuster is Mike Hilton's, but due process of the world.

史密斯-舒斯特是邁克-希爾頓的，但由於世界的程序。

The Steelers can be counting on contributions from a lot of young players next year.

鋼人隊明年可以依靠很多年輕球員的貢獻。
