Steelers owner Art Rooney II says the team wants Ben Roethlisberger back in 2021 but his $41.2 million cap hit won’t work with the reduction in the salary cap.
Fantasy Impact: Rooney said Roethlisberger will have to make “significant concessions” to be back with the organization. Roethlisberger turns 39 in March and struggled for long stretches of the 2020 season. Pittsburgh won’t turn away their franchise QB but that’s a hefty cap number for an aging veteran whose skillset is in decline. The most likely outcome is that the two sides work together and structure a new contract, but there’s certainly a non-zero chance the Big Ben retires as well.
