Updating a previous report, Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger is not only open to restructuring his contract, but he told Ed Bouchette of The Athletic on Thursday, Jan. 28, that it was his idea ‘to basically help the team however I can this year.’

Footballguys View: Roethlisberger has a cap hit of $41.2 million in 2021, and there is $22.2 million remaining in dead money. He’ll have to rework that deal in some form or fashion to help out the Steelers salary cap situation for next season. It’s the last year of his contract, so there are plenty of ways to make the money work.
