It is something we knew would come, but we also hoped it would be accompanied by another Lombardi trophy. But as I have mentioned in a rant, or three, the Pittsburgh Steelers are at a crossroads in terms of the future of this franchise. At stake is the possibility of keeping more of the nucleus of the team together by cutting the Hall of Fame quarterback.
Ben Roethlisberger is set to make $40 plus million in 2021, and if Ben is cut $19 plus million in cap space is gained. I’m not saying it is an easy decision, because Ben has meant plenty to this organization and to the fan base, but the question needs to be asked.
