Steelers team president Art Rooney II spoke with the media on Thursday and answered questions about the impending 2021 offseason. After talking about Ben Roethlisberger‘s future with the Steelers and his oversized salary cap number for this year, Rooney was optimistic that they can work things out for Roethlisberger to return and help out with the team’s salary cap in the process.
Shortly after Rooney’s call with the media, Ed Bouchette of The Athletic spoke with Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger about the situation. According to Bouchette, Roethlisberger is not concerned about the amount of salary he receives in 2021 and is more concerned about the Steelers being competitive this fall.
