The Facts: Steelers GM Kevin Colbert is not committing to bringing Roethlisberger back to Pittsburgh for the 2021 season. The Steelers have previously made clear that Roethlisberger won’t be back without a restructured contract. Roethlisberger has said he’s willing to re-do his deal, but that might not be enough for the Steelers. “As we sit here today, Ben is a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers,” Colbert said. “He reiterated to us that he wants to continue to play.

Hopefully he’ll be able to see that,” Colbert said. ... A more detailed version of this story is now available HERE.
