The Pittsburgh Steelers recently restructured the contracts of six players and two of them were quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and tight end Vance McDonald. Both of them, however, did not get max restructures and in the case of McDonald, his altered deal results in his earnings being decreased for 2020.
In the case of Roethlisberger, while his restructure wasn’t a full one, it was close to one. According to Joel Corry of CBS Sports, the Steelers converted the $12.5 million roster bonus Roethlisberger was due this week along with $7 million of his scheduled $8.
