The Pittsburgh Steelers announced the release of cornerback Bryant McFadden and wide receiver Arnaz Battle. A second-round pick out of Florida State by the Steelers in 2005, McFadden spent four seasons in Pittsburgh before signing with the Arizona Cardinals in 2009, traded back to Pittsburgh in 2010, McFadden had 74 tackles and two interceptions as a 16-game starter that season before playing in a reserve role in 2011. McFadden was set to earn $2.5 million in base salary in 2012, which will come off the team's salary cap. Battle joined the Steelers as a free agent in 2010. In 25 games over the last two seasons, Battle has 13 special teams tackles and zero receptions. Battle was due to earn $1.0375 million in base salary next season.

Steelers really being proactive against the cap, i hear rumors of alot of restructures coming....are they just prolonging a purge? restructuring deals with multiple years left on the deal can be hell on future caps. Just wondering, maybe Ward, K-train ans Crowned can shed some light. |

Ward will certainly take a big cut if he wants to stay and hampton and smith are likely gone and have premium contracts and big cap hits. Guys like farrior, foote, (previously mcfadden and battle) are likely on the outs too.
ben may take a pay cut, but ben, harrison, and troy all have big cap hits....not sure they would do anything there unless they plan on extending them further
big youth movement coming up Quote:

Ben, Troy and James' contracts are set up so they could just be restructured to take more "bonus" money and less "salary."
If I'm not mistaken, the next couple seasons cap room for all teams (close now) will be tough and then it loosens up a bit...

However, you could see towards the end of his Cowboys career that his overall skill was rapidly deteriorating as a pass blocker. But I bet if someone ever did all time metrics for run blocking, the dude would easily rate as a top 5 all time run blocker at LT, he was that good at it
