Roethlisberger, Harrison might redo contracts for Steelers

Two of the Steelers' highest-paid players are apparently willing to help the team with the salary cap.

The agents for quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and outside linebacker James Harrison said their clients are agreeable to restructuring their contracts before the start of the NFL's new year. Teams have to be under the 2012 salary cap by 4 p.m. March 13.

The Steelers don't expect the ceiling to increase much from the $120.375 million that clubs were allowed to spend on player salaries in 2011. They entered the offseason roughly $25 million over the salary cap.

The Steelers have trimmed a little more than $14 million off that number by restructuring the contracts of linebackers LaMarr Woodley and Lawrence Timmons, and cornerback Ike Taylor.

More team-minded decision making. I like it!

Brown, Sanders, Roethlisberger, Woodley, and Harrison have all done very admirable things this off season. It's much nicer to hear this kind of news than what we have been used to during the off season.


I hope I didn't jinx it.

the key phrase in that headline is:
