The conversation surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers so far this offseason has been almost entirely engulfed by the Ben Roethlisberger-sized elephant in the room, and specifically, whether or not the team would be bringing him back to continue playing during the 2021 season.
While we seemingly took an important step getting closer to that being the case, we must remember that this was always Roethlisberger’s intention. Nothing that he has said in recent years has indicated otherwise. Even while he was recovering from major elbow surgery in 2019, he made sure to state that he had every intention of honoring his contract.
