Roethlisberger, 39, spent the entirety of his career with the Steelers, after being their first-round pick in 2004. He passed for 64,008 yards, 418 touchdowns and 211 interceptions on 64.4 percent completion in his career.

His career accolades include two Super Bowl victories, which were won following the 2005 and 2008 seasons. Roethlisberger went to six Pro Bowls and was Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2004. He is fifth all-time in passing yards and eighth all-time in passing touchdowns.

After all of his career accomplishments, he is likely headed to Canton to be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame when he is eligible.

The Steelers have Mason Rudolph and Dwayne Haskins on their roster, who both have starting experience. If they don’t think either of those quarterbacks can lead the franchise, Pittsburgh could look to make a trade or may select a quarterback in the 2022 NFL Draft.
