We’re now roughly 9 weeks away from the start of the 2019 NFL league year and with that, there’s a good chance that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will sign another contract extension by the middle of March as his current deal only runs through the 2019 season. On Wednesday, former NFL agent Joel Corry of CBS Sports wrote extensively about what a new contract extension might look like for Roethlisberger and it’s worth detailing some finer points that he covered in it.
For starters, Roethlisberger is currently scheduled to earn a base salary of $12 million in 2019 in addition to being due a $5 million roster bonus less than a week after the new league year starts.
