It’s no secret that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has a history of saying things that, while not wrong on the surface, or even wrong for saying, have been left open for interpretation and analysis that goes beyond what he intended to say, the general conclusion being that he shouldn’t have said it in the first place.
Even without his radio show anymore, he still managed to belt one out earlier this offseason, though somewhat under duress. When the team came out and kind of hedged on what was going to happen with Roethlisberger and his contract and whether or not he would be back in 2021, he felt compelled to issue comments making it clear that he wanted to continue playing and that he was very open to working with the team to lower his salary cap hit.
