Ben Roethlisberger is ready and willing to what will be necessary to lower his $41.25 million cap hit for the 2021 season with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

“I want to do everything I can and made that very clear to them from the very beginning that it was my idea to basically help the team however I can this year,” Roethlisberger said. “I don’t care about my pay at all this year.”

Roethlisberger also indicated he views 2021 as likely his last season in the NFL.

“I am pretty sure I want to go one more year [because] I think I can do it and give us a real chance and winning,” Roethlisberger said.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have promoted Matt Canada to offensive coordinator.

Canada has been considered the frontrunner in replacing Randy Fichtner.

Canada was previously an offensive coordinator with several college programs. The Steelers hired Canada before the 2020 season as quarterbacks coach.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking for an offensive coordinator after firing Randy Fichtner at the end of the season.

They have reportedly interviewed Hue Jackson and are also interested in Pep Hamilton.

Pittsburgh quarterbacks coach Matt Canada is also a candidate.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have agreed to a one-year deal with Dwayne Haskins.

Haskins was a first round pick in 2019 but was released by the Washington Football Team in December after a second breach of COVID-19 protocols. 

Haskins started the first four games, throwing four touchdown passes to three interceptions but with a 29.8 total QBR.

Haskins shares an agent with Mike Tomlin. 

Keith Butler will return to the Pittsburgh Steelers next season as defensive coordinator, a source has confirmed.

Butler, 64, has been with the organization since 2003 and in his role as defensive coordinator since 2015.

Pittsburgh's defense was elite overall this season, but declined over the final month.

The Pittsburgh Steelers won't bring back a trio of coaches under Mike Tomlin.

Randy Fichtner, the team's offensive coordinator, won't return. Pittsburgh won't renew the contracts of offensive line coach Shaun Sarrett and defensive backs coach Tom Bradley either.

James Daniel, who's been with the organization since 2004, also is retiring as tight ends coach after 17 seasons with the organization.

"I want to thank all three of the coaches for their commitment and dedication to the Pittsburgh Steelers," Tomlin said in a statement. "They have all played integral roles in our success and I am appreciative of their efforts. Personally, Randy and I have been in Pittsburgh since I hired him in 2007, but our relationship began well before that. He has been a friend of mine for years and wish his family nothing but the best, and I am eternally grateful for our relationship both on and off the field."

Ben Roethlisberger isn't ready to discuss whether he'll return next season.

The Pittsburgh Steelers suffered a 48-37 playoff loss to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday night, ending a season that began with them streaking out to an 11-0 record.

"I hope the Steelers want me back, if that's the way we go," Roethlisberger said. "There will be discussions, but this isn't the time for that."

The quarterback has one year left on his contract.

Roethlisberger set an NFL record with 47 completions and had 501 yards passing and four touchdowns in the Wild Card loss, but he tossed four interceptions that dug an early hole for the Steelers.

Joe Haden has tested positive for COVID-19.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will likely be without Haden for at least the first round of the playoffs, leaving the team thin in the secondary.
