Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is due to earn $19 million for the 2021 season, but his salary cap hit for the year is scheduled to be much higher than that due to prior amortized signing bonus money and past restructures, ballooning all the way to $41.25 million, among the highest in the entire league.
Team president and owner Art Rooney II just spoke to the media a short while ago, and in no uncertain terms, he said that Roethlisberger will not be under contract for the 2021 season under that value, meaning that something will have to be done with his deal in order for him to return.
