While there are many stars in the NFL today, there are few true franchise cornerstones at this point, largely due to free agency, player empowerment, and more causing big names to move around in pursuit of happiness playing a child’s game.
We’ve seen that in years past with Tom Brady shockingly leaving New England after 20 years, and now we’re seeing it with Aaron Rodgers wanting out of Green Bay.
Fortunately for the Pittsburgh Steelers, their franchise cornerstone in one Benjamin Todd Roethlisberger has never wanted out or even hinted at the possibility, remaining in the black and gold going on 18 seasons now.
