Ben Roethlisberger Considering Retirement from Raping
-
I'll believe it when I see it. Like when he was 'injured' against us and missed all of three snaps.
-
Yeah part of me wouldnt mind seeing him get stretchered out at first energy and then announcing his medically forced retirement a week later. We'd get a new turkey moment to reminisce on for decades.
-
Why speculate what he might or might not do ? Didn't the NFL learn anything from the times Brett Favre was speculated to retire, and went on 3 more yrs. So stop worrying about what he might do. If he does, then he will announce it, so until then, forget the rumors or thinking the possibility of him retiring.
-
I hope he doesn't. I want our new D to be the direct reason it gets put out into retirement
-
If he breaks his contract by retiring I have a feeling he would pay back some of his signing bonus.

He has three years on his contract? Maybe he retires then.

Yes he would, unless he has a clause that says otherwise, which would be extremely doubtful.
Bitch ain't retiring.

Bitch needs his own reality series, he is such a Drama Queen:

The 31 million signing bonus is fully guaranteed and already in Bens bank account. When a player signs with a team in the NFL he is looking for the largest signing bonus possible because they are guaranteed in case of injury. The 31 million signing bonus is the only real number right now. Youre right on salary because that is only paid if youre on the roster.I suppose the Steelers could try to go after some of Bens signing bonus depending on how his contract is structured.
Missed the "signing" part, but still wonder if there is a clawback clause if he voluntarily leaves... as opposed to a retirement forced by injury.
Ben Roethlisberger signed a 4 year contract extension with the Steelers on March 13, 2015. Details of the contract are based primarily on a report by Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. According to Bouchette, Roethlisberger received a $31 million signing bonus. The first three years of the contract are guaranteed for injury which is where the reported $65 million in guarantees comes from. $9 million in escalators are available in the final two contract years. The new contract saved the Steelers about $1.15 million in 2015 cap space.
Regardless... what I was referring to were the balance of the $65mm in "guarantees" which he would leave on the table.

Ben could plead that he is too injured to continue and that the Steelers are to blame.
He has taken a pounding due to poor drafting.
Steelers were the least sacked team in the league in 2016.

Poor drafting?.. Have you watched DeCastro and Villanueva lately?

This year, but the past few years Ben had taken a beating. He was still injured this season.
Also, BR is one of the best at shaking off people and avoiding sacks.
The "shaking off" often entails taking hits. That as much as anything may have taken its toll on him.
-
Ok, so if he decides to retire, what does that do for the Browns? Not a thing. So if he does go with his decision to retire, oh well. Lets worry how the Browns are going to win games first.

And of course, Ghoolie brought this up before anyone.
You just did not. Hundreds if not thousands of people have begun to ask if a 35 year old QB who has taken a beating will consider retirement, and he's not even going to retire this year.
Let me guess, you also think Tom Brady may retire soon too right? Can you tell me the lottery numbers while you're at it, that foresight is stuff of legends!

Perhaps claim that it's hurt his sex life?

It's only a matter of time before Ben Rothlisberger and Joe Flacco retire... only a matter of time. When that time comes, they had better be ready to sustain 10+ years of being taken to school by the Browns and Bengals.
