While the Pittsburgh Steelers face a busy offseason with a number of notable players facing free agency and several key starters entering their final year under contract, none of the new deals signed this offseason will impact the team’s salary cap more than a potential extension for Ben Roethlisberger.
With that in mind, it should come as no surprise to learn that the Steelers have already begun negotiations with their star quarterback on the final multi-year extension of his career. When speaking on a conference call to a group of Steelers Unite members, Art Rooney II revealed that discussions about a new contract were already underway with Roethlisberger's representatives.
