Ike is complaints fall on my deaf ears. I could care less, as he is an alum of Swaggin U.
I will say if he was still the player who signed the last contract he might not be the one asked to take the BIG hit. Almost all veterans who have plateaued take pay cuts, and those on the decline rarely are retained because you can get a rookie to do what you no longer can, he is damned lucky IMO the Steelers are keeping him at all.
