Re-signing Big Ben chosen as Steelers least favorite offseason decision

Ben Roethlisberger

PITTSBURGH (93.7 the Fan) Teams around the NFL this offseason have been making moves that have left people scratching their heads in confusion.

Pro Football Focus (PFF) created a list of their least favorite decision made by each of the 32 NFL teams.

The Pittsburgh Steelers made a few personnel decisions that could have made the list, but PFF planted their flag with a certain veteran.

PFF’s least favorite Steelers’ move of the offseason was bringing back franchise quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

Citing that Big Ben just turned 39-years-old and there have been signs of a decline since 2018.

According to PFF, Roethlisberger earned a 75.2 passing grade in 2018, and in 2020 ranked 24th in the league with a 69.0 rating.

A restructured contract gives the Steelers and Roethlisberger one last ride for the 2021 season.
