Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger appears to be nearing the end of his career with the team.
In early December, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that he has been telling some former teammates and others within the Steelers organization that "he expects this to be his final season" with the franchise. It's unclear if he plans to retire, but one source told ESPN it was "highly unlikely" that he would play for another team.
With the Steelers in the mix for a playoff spot in the AFC, Roethlisberger, 39, has remained open publicly about what his plans are.
