salary -- currently the lowest for an NFL veteran starting quarterback, but now realizes the addition of Roethlisberger may change that.
The 6-5 Roethlisberger has size, excellent arm strength and is mobile. He comes off an especially impressive 2003 season in which he completed 69 percent of his passes for 4,486 yards, 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
For now, the Steelers plan to go into the season with Maddox as the starter, though Cowher has not ruled out Roethlisberger starting sometime this season.
Despite the unhappiness, Cowher said he doesnt expect Roethlisbergers presence to affect how Maddox plays or practices. Wide receiver Plaxico Burress also expects Maddox to respond to the competition.
"Ive been playing with him for two years now and I pretty much know hell step up and defend his position," Burress told Robinson.
The Steelers have not said what they would do if Maddox, who will be 33 in September, asks to be released to pursue a job with another team. With nearly every NFL team now set at quarterback in advance of training camp, Maddox may not be able to find a team that would let him compete to start.
Even if the Maddox goes into the Steelers training camp in late July as the starter, Cowher will not promise there wont be a training camp competition.

"He is our incumbent starter; Im not saying things cant change. ..."

He said he has no control over the situation.
"Thats not up to me, whether they want me or not.
