Hello, everyone.

0:07.1

I'm Matt Williamson.

0:08.2

How's it going?

0:09.8

A lot of news and notes to discuss today, Steeler-related.

0:14.0

I want to start with Cam Hayward.

0:17.5

They restructured his deal this morning, Wednesday, and it frees up about four and a half million to five, something like that, of available cap space for this year.

I don't think that's the biggest aspect of all this.

0:33.7

They also, I assume, are going to cut Malik Harrison one of these days and free up another five.

I guess the better way to put it is, I hope team and player see it that way that we're happy I think you're

1:29.7

playing incredibly well it gets better every year which is amazing um that we can get two more years

1:36.1

out of you and playing at a high high high level I mean I think that is phenomenal so I wanted to

1:43.1

knock that off my list.

1:45.2

The other thing is I don't know if we've talked much about J. Vaughn Hargrave,
