Xenc

Love you Ben but it’s your time to go…

    Antonio Reyes

    @Xenc I’ll give you a reason why we can’t move on. Ben has a $41.5 million cap hit with a $22.5 million dead cap hit, and just letting him go will cause the Steelers to be $19.7 million dollars over the cap. The Steelers can resign Ben to a 4 year contract (not that he’ll play 4 years), to the veteran minimum of $1.3 million. Spreading all the bonus money out over the 4 year deal lowers Ben’s cap hit to 2 years @ $7.65 million and a $6.325 million dead cap hit. Since the cap will in increase this is doable. This saves enough to put the Steelers $14.125 million under the cap. As I already stated, we’ll be $19.7 million over the cap but this way we can solve our cap issue. 2021 he plays and 2022 he rides the bench. Simple as that

    Xenc

    @Antonio Reyes And that’s why we are trying to re construct his contract🤣🤣🤣

    Eduardo F.

    Pls.. He have one more year! And I hope he win the superbowl and shut everybody that don’t believe him… Imagine Ben playing nowing, for sure, that it’s his last year… Beast Ben

    IcySpeed

    @Xenc Well I don’t think it’s time for him to leave because look at the numbers he did awesome this year and he had an amazing start to the season. Also we were a touchdown away from winning in the playoffs and they had a 28- 0 lead.

    @Eduardo F. , lmbo. Keep dreaming dude.

Faded Pops

These commercials suck LOL

Charles Huffman

I thought Colbert’s contract ran out at the end of last year?

    ThaRealest616

    He got a 1 year extension last year

Wade Marquardt

I have seen mock drafts where they take Najee Harris in 1st. Najee is outstanding back but no one can run behind a line that can’t drive block or get any push. First two rounds need to be o-line. RB in 3rd or 4th. A capable line makes a QB and RB better. Also, want a good line for a young QB once Ben’s gone, so need fresh o-line blood one way or another. The o-line was well coached and technique sound, but the athleticism to drive block or sustain a pocket is not there. Father Time is undefeated and he caught up with line as well as injuries. They set good pocket but it gets pushed in as they get driven back, and run drive blocking was non-existent. If you can block, the backs and Ben will look a lot better. The short passing game wasn’t because Ben can’t go downfield it was cause line couldn’t protect. Then on short passes Ben was taking too much off passes trying to throw a catchable ball trying to help Johnson and Ebron with their drop issues. His arm will complete its healing process through this offseason. I think his arm will be fine next year, more worried about legs and mobility especially if o-line isn’t a lot better.

    POP345

    @d winston Nah, watch the film, the oline had no push, the only guy that was dominant was Kevin Dotson, but we need new o line.

    d winston

    @POP345 hard to have a push when line pass protect majority of the time until they change the offense from a shotgun you can have any line man and it still won’t have it push to have a running game.

    POP345

    @d winston ik that the shotgun formation was a problem, but i mean, when he offense was playing good and matt canada was helping, the oline had problems, is really impressive how Kevin Dotson helped a lot this o line.

    d winston

    @POP345 True they need to get younger on the line. But they could make the game easier by using more formations.

    Chalie Macc

    Najee has no lateral movement… He’s had the best oline in the college ranks… Hard to judge… J m o

J M

Wow, we’re really talking about letting Ben go.

Tom Larkin

How is anyone worth $40+ million with a $150 million cap?

    jw1

    $22 million of that we can do nothing about it’s already been paid but counts against the books this season.

    Tom Larkin

    @jw1 Thanks, I didn’t know that.

Ty LOC aka Flip

    Mr Smoot

Ty LOC aka Flip

The Marp

You know the standard is the standard which I hope means our “standard is setting standards.” All you hate Tomlin? You guys are grown up babies. “Tomlin must go ” You’ve been saying the same thing every loss for since he got hired. “Must” Maybe? Maybe The OC was as bad as my instincts thought he was.

Reginald Tucker

True fans! Llh… Love the Team not a player.. its ok to ride with him but its team 1st… Ben can’t even get under center- can’t run for a 1st down- and passes are bad, not horrible.. unfortunately he is better than our backups.. then (Offensive coordinator)! Ben has several plays in every call. He has to go with what he sees on the field . He has the ability to change to 1 even if the formation stays the same.. audible

David Gerber

Why are they so high on Mason? This is unbelievable. “We came within 2 points of beating the Browns with Mason”?????????????????????? GTFOH

BIG T

Yeah it was VERY disappointing, but what are you going to do about it? just owning up to your, once again, disappointing season doesn’t change the fact that your last appearance was in 2010 and quite frankly as a fan getting tired of hearing that B.S. stat of not having a losing season.

Jeff Tracy

If the Steelers let Ben go, they win 4 games max next year. The offensive line got older and weaker as the season went on and couldn’t protect him long enough. Ben knew that, that’s why so many short passes were in the passing scheme. They need to beef up that O-line in the draft otherwise they will have the historically worst rushing attack in back to back years.

robert marburger

Think if we did not have to deal with the BS Rooney Rule. We could have had the best coach Bruce Arians. Stop this token BS

    Chalie Macc

    Bruce never did squat until Brady entered his life… Get real dude
