Not sure what exactly this means, because he is only signed for 2014 (due to become a free agent in 2015). It can't be a simple restructuring in which we push off the cap hit into future years, since there aren't any future years to push it off into. And there was no mention of an contract extension either, so I guess he just will be getting less money until we hear otherwise.

The Steelers have reportedly created some salary cap flexibility for 2014.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Steelers [URL="https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/440525991572561920"]have reworked[/URL] tight end [URL="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/3145/heath-miller"]Heath Miller[/URL]’s contract.
Miller’s 2014 salary cap number was $9.5 million, Rapoport reported Monday, but it has now been reduced for the upcoming league year. It is not yet known how this will affect Miller’s cap number in future years.
The 31-year-old Miller hauled in 58 passes for 593 yards and one touchdown in 2013. He has played at least 14 games in all nine of his seasons with Pittsburgh, catching 466 passes for 5,273 yards and 40 TDs in regular season play. He has long drawn raves for his fine all-around play, with Cardinals head coach and former Steelers offensive coordinator Bruce Arians recently going so far as to say that he believes Miller remains [URL="http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/02/21/for-bruce-arians-blocking-is-the-primary-function-for-tight-ends/"]the best tight end[/URL] in the game.
