It doesn't look like they're too worried:
"So the Steelers’ Big Three of Brown ($14.5 million per year), Bell ($12 million) and Ben Roethlisbeger ($20 million) will average $46.5 million per year on their various deals. It represents a commitment by the Steelers to stick with their star power on offense as they try to bring home a seventh Lombardi Trophy."
"The rest of their team will stay relatively intact, with a few contract decisions still ahead. They enter this year with more available salary cap room than they’ve had in quite some time, approaching an estimated $35 million."
