The future of Ben Roethlisberger is still up in the air. The franchise quarterback has still not been given any idea about whether he will be back next season.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been very quiet on the subject, not having said a word regarding ‘Big Ben’. Currently, the Steelers may be looking at potentially getting rid of Roethlisberger ahead of the new season.

NFL analyst Adam Schefter spoke to Rich Eisen recently about the current situation in Pittsburgh. He was left completely shocked by the way the Steelers’ front office treated Ben Roethlisberger.

He believes that it would’ve been very easy for the Steelers to reassure the media that they still wanted to keep Roethlisberger around.

“I think it is so strange. Because, if they want him back, for all that he’s done for them and they’ve done for him, all Kevin Colbert had to say was, ‘He’s our quarterback, we’ve got a lot of work to do, and we’d love to have Ben back’.

“It’s amazing. I can’t believe how many times somebody has gotten in front of the media after the season and said something that left you scratching your head like that.”
