Report: Roethlisberger Expects This To Be Last Season With Team

PITTSBURGH (WPXI) — There is new speculation that this season could be Ben Roethlisberger’s last one with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Adam Schefter of ESPN is reporting that Roethlisberger privately told former teammates and some people within the organization that he expects this to be his last season with the team. Roethlisberger returned to the team on a one-year contract for his 18th season. He’s led the Steelers to a 5-5-1 record with 14 touchdowns and 6 interceptions on the season. If this is his last season, he would have six games remaining with the Steelers, not including any potential playoff games. Neither Roethlisberger nor the Steelers are making any public statements about the quarterback’s future, and likely won’t until after the season ends, with the Steelers still in the playoff picture. Schefter says the team is operating as if he’s entering the final six games of his career. Roethlisberger leads the Steelers in all-time wins, touchdown passes and passing yards. He has two Super Bowl Championships and played in a third.
