Description

I'm going for a rebuild here. I've seen quite a bit of retools and 'win now' rosters so I'm gonna try something new. I'm new to this so helpful criticisms are very much wanted. The roster very much admits defeat for next season; however, sets up PIT for a future with cap and an ability to evaluate prospects for the future. I tried to be fair and realistic on the trades but please lmk if some are bit unfair on either side or completely unrealistic.
