Here is a quote from Ward’s lawyer: [...] Ed Bouchette is reporting via twitter that Todd Haley and Ben Roethlisberger have finally met. Wooo hooo!!! Now we do not have to talk about this any more. They have met and we will not have to hear about this non story that became national news for no reason again. The Steelers will [...] Steelers offensive tackle Willie Colon was at the Steelers facility today. It is being reported via the Pittsburgh Post Gazette that Colon has restructured his contract to save the Steelers $2.85 million in cap space.

[...] According to the Pittsburgh Tribune Review if Ben Roethlisberger wants to meet Todd Haley he needs to go to the facility and meet him.

If Roethlisberger is so [...] It has become blatantly apparent that Mike Wallace either has to get the franchise tag or sign a new contract before the start of free agency or there is a damn good possibility he will be in another uniform next season. It did not matter which channel I turned on or which site [...] The Steelers could really upgrade the offensive line this offseason. The question is will it happen. The Steelers have needed upgrades on the offensive line for years. This is another good reason Bruce Arians is gone. Arians was happy with the offensive line.

But he took some time out to check out a Penguins game on [...] NFL Network’s Jason LaCanfora is reporting that Willie Colon is unwilling to take a pay cut. Colon is due $4.5 million in base salary.

[...] The Pittsburgh Tribune Review is reporting that Ben Roethlisberger and James Harrison are willing to restructure their contracts to help the team out.
