You know, I still have a year left of my contract.

I hope the Steelers won't be back if that's the way we go.

He met with Art Rooney.

He went with Coach Tomlin.

He met with myself.

Shortly after the season ended, he reiterated that to us, that he wants to continue to play.

And we told him, quite frankly, we have to look at this current situation.

You know, Art Roney addressed that.

With Ben's current cap number, some adjustment will have to be made.

Hopefully there's a way that we can try to figure out and do what's best for the organization

and do what's best for Ben.

Hopefully, he'll be able to see that and feel the same way we do.

But there's a lot of work that needs to be done.

Wednesday edition of Pro Football Talk Live, Peacock, Sirius XM, 211, NBCSN, Sky Sports, NFL, podcast, wherever, whenever, however, Chris, and Florio. Christopher, good morning. How are you? I'm good, Michael. How are you doing, man? You gave me a little scare there just before the show. All of a sudden, you couldn't hear. I don't know what the heck just happened. I reached over to get my coffee and I don't know if I

stretched the wire out or whatever, but yes, it went totally dark there for a second and that was a

full panic attack. So yeah, that's good. We avoided disaster. We're ready to go.

Got to be ready for anything on live TV slash peacock streaming. And you got to be ready for

anything if you're an NFL fan because

really every day, said this earlier in the week, every day there's a quarterback who helps us

fill what otherwise would be a void of nothing because they don't know what the salary cap is.

So there aren't a lot of transactions being done right now. So thank you, Pittsburgh Steelers.

Yesterday was your day to fill the news cycle.
