Colin Cowherd Says The Pittsburgh Steelers Are ‘Trapped’

FS1's Colin Cowherd.

We’re several months away from the 2021 season, but it sounds like Colin Cowherd is already out on the Pittsburgh Steelers.

During this Thursday’s edition of The Herd, Cowherd said he believes the Steelers are trapped in an awful situation for next season. The reason for this take is because Ben Roethlisberger‘s contract might be the worst in the NFL right now.

Roethlisberger currently has a $41 million cap hit for the 2021 season. There’s just no way the Steelers can let that number stay where it’s at. Even if they decided to cut him, they’d still have to take on $22 million in dead money. Additionally, Cowherd thinks Roethlisberger’s work ethic is only getting worse with age.

“The Steelers have sold their soul a little bit on Big Ben,” Cowherd said. “Let me tell you about Big Ben and the truth, and Pittsburgh has known this since Day 1. He doesn’t commit in the offseason. Jay Glazer jokes ‘His idea of an offseason workout is beers and a yoga workout once a week.’ He has never been good with film study and it has gotten worse over time. ”
