    Steelers restructure Ben Roethlisberger's contract

    The Steelers have restructured the contract of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, the fifth player to rework his deal that has allowed the team to shave approximately $20 million from the salary cap, the Post-Gazette has been told.


    Roethlisberger signed a new three-year, $80 million contract in April.



    The other Steelers to restructure their deals are tight end Vance McDonald, cornerbacks Joe Haden and Steven Nelson and kicker Chris Boswell. They had their base salaries for 2020 converted into signing bonuses, allowing the Steelers to push their cap money into future seasons.


    In addition, with the retirement of guard Ramon Foster and the release of three players on Monday – linebackers Mark Barron and Anthony Chickillo and receiver Johnny Holton – the Steelers saved $15 million in cap money. With the restructures, that means they shaved $35 million from their salary cap in one day.
