Big Ben contemplating retirement?

[PDay8810]

I think Big Ben is attention seeking here and will play next season.
I also think Tomlin is a good coach in a land where there aren't many.

They've got about $25 million in cap space for next year, and they can dump Osweiler after next season and save $15 million against the cap (it will cost them $6 million in dead money though). If I were them I'd seriously make a play for Romo, unless they really believe that Savage is the guy.

I agree....I think Houston makes a strong play for Romo.
Local media here thinks Denver is the landing spot, but I think it's Houston.
Time will tell

Big Ben's performance has been slipping the past few years and Tomlin hasn't taken the Steelers to a SB since 2010.

Tony could put the Texans in the Super Bowl.

Ben and Bud Dupree taking pretty solid shots at Tomlin and the coaching staff

Also a lot of players saying Antonio Brown is "All about his personal stats"


This loss is sending shockwaves through that org

Read in CBS Sports that after his pouting and behavior after Williams' TD, Brown may have punched his ticket out of Steelercity.

keyword is could.

It seems logical Houston goes all in on Romo.

Secondary...young but I they got a lot better, no longer horrid by the end of the year. Why they didn't let this kids play in the NE game is a head scratcher...I will say Gay was horrid...I don't expect he will be starting next yr at nickle.

Pass rush...agree 100% Bud Dupree is coming on, but Jarvis Jones was bust. A 40 y/o as your best pass rusher is trouble.

Gay was beyond horrid in that NE game. I don't know if there is a word to describe just how bad his play really was!!!

Agree...I can see him struggling more outside. Once he got moved inside I thought that was his best spot, but he got progressively worse as the season went along and really sucked in the NE game.

To think he was considered CB1 in Sept tells you just how far the secondary progressed.

not shocked about AB.

I think Ben said all these things because of the recent loss. I don't see him retiring this season or next.

Holy crap, I can't even fathom what the return for AB would be. YIKES!

So here is the beginning of a joke, not sure what the best ending is:

"Romo, Earl Thomas, and Big Ben are sitting at a retirement home in 2017..."

Ben is just being a drama queen, as usual.

He would have to return a prorated portion of his signing bonus and there is zero chance the he will give the Steelers 18 million dollars back and walk away from the game.

 

[Ricky Roma]

Part Ben being a drama queen, part Ben being a battered 35 year old, which probably translates to 40 by now, and part Ben probably wanting some changes given the other issues coming out about Brown/young receivers/etc.

......."a woman walks past........................and the next day found at a police station."

well that and he has 2 kids .. guess he may want to spend some time with them while he can still remember their names ... so if he retires then he retires ben has got to do what is the best for himself and his family .. if he retires we will miss having him but hey life goes on .. he gave that team his all through the years he deserves to be able to retire and enjoy his life with his family ..I wish him the best of luck but still hope to see him play next season

League gossip has been saying for several years that Ben doesn't like Haley and his play calling. Could be Ben is saying, get me a new OC or I'm gone.
