Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Roethlisberger is scheduled to carry a prohibitive salary-cap figure of $19.595 million in 2013, and the Steelers are working through tricky waters in regard to the cap, NFL.com's Albert Breer report the expectation is that Roethlisberger's deal will be renegotiated, not extended. The Steelers' precedent has been to extend quarterbacks with two years left on their contracts, and that would mean Roethlisberger could get a new deal next offseason.
