Steelers bringing back Ben Roethlisberger for an 18th season

Despite all the rumors surrounding their quarterback situation, the Pittsburgh Steelers are sticking with Big Ben next season.

The team announced that they have inked the 39-year old to a new contract.

“We are excited we were able to come to an agreement with Ben Roethlisberger on a new contract for him to return to the Steelers in 2021,” said Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert.

“We know that Ben can still play at a high level and do special things for this team. Our goal remains the same – to put together a roster that will compete for another championship. We are happy that Ben will be one of our leaders to help us accomplish that goal.”

Roethlisberger has posted 5050 pass completions for 60,348 passing yards, 396 touchdowns and 201 interceptions over a span of 233 regular season games. During that span, he has won two Super Bowl titles, and a six-time Pro Bowler and two-time NFL passing yards leader.
