Ben Roethlisberger didn't mean to freak everyone out about his retirement

Ben Roethlisberger started the will-he-or-won’t-he retirement discussion back in January, and he says he’s not shooting for a replay.

“I understand, so it won’t happen again,” he said Monday (while laughing, for the record).

Gooood luck.

Roethlisberger was speaking on the first 2017 season edition of his weekly radio segment on 93.7 The Fan. That’s where he first floated the idea back in January. Because the idea of the Steelers’ quarterback retiring while healthy after a trip to the AFC championship was a big deal, people noticed. Eventually, in April, Roethlisberger announced that he’d be back.
