Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette staffer Ed Bouchette reports the new deal and the savings in salary cap should put the Steelers around the $120 million that is projected for each team’s cap. Roethlisberger was due to earn more than $11 million in salary in 2012. Remember that Roethlisberger gives up no money in this restructuring, it’s merely an accounting change, pushing salary cap into the future. With the team working hard to keep WR Mike Wallace, the break against the cap is vital.
