The Steelers finalized a three-year extension, meaning Roethlisberger will stay in black and gold through the 2021 season.
“Ben is one of the most productive quarterbacks in NFL history, and he continued to climb the lists among the all-time passing leaders in the League last season. But I know Ben’s focus is on only one goal – to bring another Lombardi trophy back to Pittsburgh. We are excited to finalize this new contract that will keep him as a Steeler through the 2021 season," Steelers President Art Rooney II said in a release.
Roethlisberger’s new deal comes 15 years to the day he was drafted, Channel 11's Alby Oxenreiter said.
