It looks and sounds like Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will indeed be back in 2021.
According to a Tuesday report by Aditi Kinkhabwala of the NFL Network, Roethlisberger’s agent Ryan Tollner is expecting his client to work out a contract agreement with the Steelers that will allow the quarterback to return for an 18th NFL season.
According to Kinkhabwala’s Tuesday Twitter report, Tollner says the Steelers have decided they want Roethlisberger back in 2021 and that the team will soon be contacting him to creatively work out details that would lower his salary cap charge. Tollner told Kinkhabwala that Roethlisberger is essentially still upset with how the 2020 season ended for the Steelers and that it doesn’t sit well with him.
