It’s been a bit since we have heard prominently from anybody with the Pittsburgh Steelers since their season ended, so it was nice to get a chance to hear from president Art Rooney II this afternoon, and we have been getting piecemeal what he said to a group of reporters.
Obviously, the most prominent news that was discussed concerned the state of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s contract, with Rooney making it clear that something needs to be done with his contract in order for him to be able to play given the team’s salary cap situation.
Another notable but brief point of discussion was general manager Kevin Colbert, who last season let it be known that he would be taking his future on a year-to-year basis.
