Ben Roethlisberger is saying that it was his idea to take a pay cut this past offseason. The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback cap hit was north of 41-million dollars, and reduced his salary by five million dollars by signing a new contract. The move freed up some 15-million-dollars in cap space for the club.

Memphis will look to avoid elimination in Game Five tonight in the Western Conference playoff against the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City. The Grizzlies are down 3-1 in the series. Ja Morant has scored at least 23 points in all four games against Utah and the Grizzlies will probably need a similar performance from him if they want to extend the series.
