In the first episode of his new Footbahlin podcast, former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger talked about the process of going through cuts and whether or not you could tell when a player was going to be cut.
“Every once in a while, you’ll be like alright, he’s gone. And sometimes it’s just as simple as, ok, you look and you count numbers,” Roethlisberger said. “And there are the shockers, you’re like ok, that guy’s gonna make it. And he doesn’t, you’re like what, why would they cut him? What are they doing?”
Ultimately though, Roethlisberger said there needs to be trust in the front office.
