The Steelers may be soon headed to a split with Ben Roethlisberger after having him as their starting quarterback for 17 seasons. Big Ben is the last first-round QB standing from the famed 2004 NFL Draft, after Philip Rivers already decided to join Eli Manning in retirement.
But Roethlisberger is also set to turn 39 in early March and is coming off a shaky season of physical decline, on the heels of a lost 2019 campaign because of a right (throwing) elbow injury. Pittsburgh also is about $30 million over the salary cap for 2021, with Roethlisberger carrying a hefty cap number of $41.25 million.
