The Pittsburgh Steelers and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger reportedly agreed to a two-year contract extension Wednesday.
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the deal means Big Ben will be under contract for three more seasons with the Steelers. The agreement also occurred before the Steelers' self-imposed deadline, which was the start of the 2019 NFL draft on Thursday.
The 37-year-old has continued posting solid numbers, even later in his career, throwing for 5,129 yards, 34 touchdowns and 16 interceptions in 2018 while completing 67 percent of his passes. His yards and touchdowns were career highs, while his completion percentage was his highest mark since 2015.
