With the return of an aging Ben Roethlisberger and their current financial situation, there’s no question the time is now for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Big Ben missed all but two games of the 2019 NFL season and is set to return to the field as a 38-year-old coming off major elbow surgery.
To make matters worse, Pittsburgh’s financial situation beyond the 2020 sesaon is among the worst in the league. According to Over the Cap, the Steelers have just $28 million in expected cap space next season with just 38 players under contract beyond this year.
