    Ed Bouchette reports that the Steelers have restructured Ben's contract. While the specific numbers haven't been released yet, the move clears approximately $6 Mil in cap space for 2013. I'll post the exact numbers when they become available. Woodley will be next to be restructured, which will bring us under the rumored $123 Mil cap.

    I saw his first tweet that said it only saved 3 million in cap space, and I was like I thought it would save more than that. But I'm glad he is math challenged and that its 6 instead of 3 lol

    I also saw that Keenan Lewis tweeted he has good news but for right now its a secret and he can't tell or something. It came around the same time Ben's restructure info came out.

    This is what lewis tweeted "Good news, thank you lord, you always told me believe and keep faith and you will handle the rest. It's a secret, I'm not telling nobody what it is either, just know I am about to turn up."

    Hoping it's under $6M per year. And hoping he keeps playing like he did last year.
