Hunter2_1 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Well, not sure I agree with the Browns fans just yet. Ben is still significantly better than their backup options. They definitely should be shopping soon though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the delta between Ben and Mason Rudolph is MUCH smaller than Steelers fans will admit If this ends up being a restructure that doesn't push any cap hit into 2022 or beyond, and the $$ amount between this and retirement is pretty narrow - then its a good decision for the Steelers. But if it's more expensive than that, then I don't like it for them at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlowe22 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Ben isnt that bad yet. Declining sure, still enough there to win games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soflbillsfan Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 So his contract is basically 22 mil of dead cap because of previous restructures and signing bonus etc. Then you had a 15 mil roster bonus due this year and a 4 mil base salary, so that 19 mil has been reworked if they got a new deal for him this year. For PFT to say this not an extension means jack squat because the statement says they signed Big Ben to a new contract for 2021 didnt say if it was one year or multiple years so I dont get this comment that this implies no extension. May be an extension where that 15 mil roster is a signing bonus in which it extends to next year with out him actually being on the roster as some have done it in the past. He will still likely be at a cap hit of 22-26 mil this year if not more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOSteelers56 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I mean, he did beat the Ravens twice last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiffyJag Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 They would have a worse season if Ben retired and they took a shot on Rudolph/Haskins, but this pretty much confirms that they will only tread water/exit in the divisional round at best again. Time to start looking at 2022 QBs if you're a Steelers fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
