There is absolutely zero reason this shouldnt have been completed yet. Zero.
tell it to one of the best run orgs in the game, the Steelers and TJ Watt; each side waiting for the others point of weakness.. Bosa doesn't want to miss games / paychecks, SF doesn't want him to either, so I see them both on the same side, here. Agent hopeful the org panics and unloads a panic offer, like you are suggesting. Only way it's already completed, is if we way overpaid by some comical longshot. Otherwise, the players agent is prepared to wait it out until the leadup to week 1. I like my org doing what it can to keep this cap hit as low as possible, I know it will be a fat deal, and he deserves it, but no need to hit our cap more than necessary.
