James Harrison Won't Take Pay Cut to Stay in Pittsburgh and More AFC North News

CBS Sports' Larry Hartstein reports that Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison won't take a pay cut to remain with the team in 2012, which makes it even more likely that Harrison and the Steelers part ways later this spring.

The Steelers are yet again millions of dollars over the salary cap this year, and reducing the salaries of higher-priced veterans is among the ways they can get their finances under control. However, Harrison's agent Bill Parise thinks that Harrison is a bargain as it is, and while restructuring his contract is an option, cutting that salary is not.
