Trade

Pioneers receive:
G Cedric Dockery (91 overall, 33 years old)

Steelers receive:
LT Cyrus Kouandijo (83, 25)
LG Joe Thuney (78, 25)

The Pioneers will incur a $350k cap penalty to turn $2.76 mil in cap hits into a $7.06 mil cap hit.

The Steelers will incur a $1.41 mil cap penalty to shed an $8.47 mil cap hit into $2.41 mil cap hits.

The Pioneers have plenty of cap space and with no picks before the 4th round, they can easily fit Dockery into their budget. Even with incumbent Clay Schneidmiller coming off of a good rookie season, Dockery is just on a one year deal, so the former's developmental shouldn't be stalled, just delayed. Even so, Dockery is a good guard that is worth giving up young, cheap OL depth.

The Steelers mainly did this as a salary dump as Cyrus and Thuney have limited experience in the league, but they do fill an additional hole and given that the Steelers only have two surefire starters on the OL, perhaps they can carve out a significant role here, even if just for the one season.

The Steelers understood the parameters, financial impact, and the past history of players. This trade is now official, even if it isn't reflected on the spreadsheet.
