This is just a story to promote (presumably) a bad football game tonight.
It is a nothing.
It has always been Ben’s intention to play the duration of his current contract unless physically unable to. https://t.co/1m8q0YLcTP

Nothing but revenue generating clickbait, he said months ago he was planning to play numerous seasons after this one. #Steelers https://t.co/uVbNUcxRiz

Big Ben isn’t the QB he used to be, but whatever he’s doing these days,  it’s working. The Steelers are 11-2 and have already locked in a playoff spot.

One day all  the aging QB’s will be gone, and the NFL is going to feel a lot different.
