Count Ben Roethlisberger among those in Tom Brady's corner.
The Steelers quarterback said the regular-season opener against the Patriots at Gillette will have a different feel if Brady isn't in uniform.
"He's a guy, I've said for a long time, he's the best in the business, and he proved it again last year winning his fourth [Super Bowl]," Roethlisberger told ESPN. "If he's not out there, it's not the same. I have a lot of respect for him on the football field and some of the unbelievable things that he's done. I guess we'll wait and see what's finally going to happen.
