Wow, seems like a lot of teams are about to cut big name players because of every ones cap situation.. wish we had more cap this year .. seems like there will be a lot of bargain vets up for the taking. 
 

as far as Ben goes he will definitely want to play for a contender.. but if he wants money tepper has made it well known that he willing to open his wallet to win (we are blessed). That said if Ben wants a pay day come on down he still looks good .. plus Tepper was a minority owner of the Steelers he may have a small foot in the door in the lead .... agreed not likey but plausible

We can make plenty of cap for the right person.  The issue is not spending on guys we're going to regret after a year like Teddy, Matt Kalil, etc.

Anybody who watched a Steelers game down the stretch knows Big Ben is washed, way more than Cam even.

We need a QB, but hard, hard pass on Big Ben.  He still has an arm, but he's been hit too many times and makes awful decisions at this point to keep from getting hit.

I don't blame him for not wanting to get hit as someone approaching 40 myself, but he needs to retire.

He would be more of a bridge QB more then anything.. I disagree with your assessment I think he would bring a lot of value to the panthers. 
 

bringing in a super bowl Qb that still produces is exactly what our young guys need if Ben “buys in” but that is a big if but can’t write him off. Specially when you have teddy penciled in as your starting qb

Didn't Roethlisberger state publicly that he would work with him on getting that $41 mil figure down?

Now, what I will say is, Big Ben has been showing some definite signs of decline over the past two seasons. It may just simply be that the Steelers want to move on in general.

I can't say that I would blame him, as I don't think Ben may have more than a year or so left in the tank.

Ben makes little to no sense for us. He is rapidly declining, he don't have a line currently that could protect him adequately and his cost doesn't make any sense whatsoever for a 1-2 year deal outside of a veteran minimum contract.

At that rate, why wouldn't he just sign cheaply somewhere that could actually bring him a title?

His arm is starting to decline somewhat, as well.

Basically said he'd play for nothing.

Apparently, that offer wasn't low enough for the Steelers 🤔

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
