Contract alteration? Could that also mean extension?

An extension for Roethlisberger sounds kinda crazy.

Rooney doesn’t like change I guess.

He’s 38 so they would likely add a year like they did with Brees to push it down the road. They currently have no plan for a starter after him and he’s still a top 20 QB so it makes sense. They will be one of many teams though looking to draft a QB in this upcoming draft if they are smart 

[Peon Awesome]

I would guess something like converting base salary into unguaranteed incentive money he has a low chance of earning (e.g. bonuses for a super bowl victory or 1st team all pro selection). Or they could tack on a low cost voidable dummy year that spreads the cap hit over 2 years. But I think it makes sense for both sides. I don't think they have an heir apparent on the roster and there are too many teams in the qb market with more ammunition for them to get in a bidding war. But you can't keep him at a $41 million cap hit.

Big Ben gotta take a pay cut to play.  They said it nicer. 

[Madwolf]

What's the over/under on people who think we should bring him here for 3 1st rounders?

Ben seemed to be losing it.  Would not want him and if I were the Steelers would not give him a raise.

Agreed, he has had a fantastic career, but it felt like he was free falling a bit as the games went on deep into the season.

Here's a name we haven't heard in a while...

 

[Aussie Tank]

They need to just pull the bandaid off
