Steelers Open To Working On New Contract With Roethlisberger

Oct 30, 2014 11:57 AM

The Pittsburgh Steelers are open to working on a new contract with Ben Roethlisberger, but it probably won't happen this offseason.

Roethlisberger is signed for the next two seasons, with base salaries of $12 million and $11 million and salary cap hits of nearly $18.9 million and $18.3 million. 

“We'll get through free agency, get through the draft and see where we are,” Kevin Colbert said Sunday at the NFL meetings. “Traditionally we have done quarterbacks (contracts) two years out, but as (team president) Art (Rooney) stated, we may or may not be in a position to do something this summer.”
