Fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers can feel that there are significant changes coming on the horizon. Over the past 12 months, we have already had Ramon Foster and Maurkice Pouncey retire. A number of significant pieces are slated to depart in free agency. Right now, we don’t even know for sure that Ben Roethlisberger is coming back. The reality is that by this time next year, the team could look a lot different.
Assuming that Roethlisberger does return, we know that the 2021 season will certainly be different for him. His long-time center now retired, his good friend Randy Fichtner let go as offensive coordinator, and now shifting to a Matt Canada offense, he will likely be playing without James Conner, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Alejandro Villanueva, not to mention Vance McDonald.
