What will the contract of Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger look like by the time March 17 rolls around? While it’s hard to say for sure, it’s a good bet that Roethlisberger will still get the $19 million he’s scheduled to earn in 2021 with most of it, $17.925 million to be exact, being turned into a signing bonus. If that’s the case, the only thing left to find out is the length that Roethlisberger’s contract was extended and what, if any, voidable rules were included. Those voidable rules, should there be any, will be interesting to see.
If you believe the report last week from Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Steelers plan is to extend Roethlisberger’s contract by two years.
