Just north of $265 Million in NFL earnings, Steelers certainly got their money's worth

With Big Ben on the board in 2004 draft, the Jags took WR Reggie Williams and the Texans took DB Dunta Robinson.
Given how poorly those two franchises fared during Ben's career...he truly lucked out in going to the Steelers.

“Likely”….don’t ever change Ben 😆

If you're familiar with The Office......

The camera was on Big Ben when he announced he's likely done.
Followed up by his arm speaking privately in the Conference Room: "It's over"
Commercial :)

The Browns traded up to draft Kellen Winslow II…and passed on the Ohio native.

Texans were too busy trying to get David Carr killed back then...

Wonder if he will go into coaching?!

can see him coaching his sons HS teams and maybe a summer or two to coach up QB's in a NFL camp

I think ben will most likely disappear into a private life. I do expect him to give "ben like" comments on the state of team/steelers QB every few yrs, that will have the local media in a buzz lol

Yeah, I see Ben sort of falling out of the limelight, a la Brett Favre - we'll see him in 3-5 years and either he'll be REALLY in shape or REALLY big IMO.
