Big Ben is all in. The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed Ben Roethlisberger to a new contract for 2021, it was announced Thursday.
“We are excited we were able to come to an agreement with Ben Roethlisberger on a new contract for him to return to the Steelers in 2021,” said General Manager and Vice President Kevin Colbert. “We know that Ben can still play at a high level and do special things for this team. Our goal remains the same – to put together a roster that will compete for another championship. We are happy that Ben will be one of our leaders to help us accomplish that goal.”

Roethlisberger came back strong in 2020 after missing the majority of the 2019 season with an elbow injury.
Big Ben commented on his new contract:
“It is my greatest honor to be a Pittsburgh Steeler and give my all for this organization,” said Roethlisberger, who will be entering his 18th season with the team. “I am grateful to be at this stage of my career and more than happy to adjust my contract in a way that best helps the team to address other players who are so vital to our success. I love this game and love to compete, and I believe in this team and my ability to deliver when called upon. It all starts with great preparation and I am ready to go.”
Looks like Ben has one more chance to get another Super Bowl ring.
Based off his finish to last season, the Steelers better hope they can get a running game going. The Steelers looked absolutely brutal in their playoff loss to the Browns.
Definitely not a way to go out.
