Pittsburgh Steelers in contract talks with Ben Roethlisberger

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Ben Roethlisberger have begun renegotiating the quarterback's contract with the side.

The AFC North side have 10 players taking up over $100m (£66m) in salary cap space next season, with almost $20m being taken up by the two-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback.

The 30-year-old still has three seasons left on his current contract with the Steelers.

It is expected that a new agreement will be in pace by the end of the week.
