Somewhat surprisingly, for us anyway, the Steelers gave Ben Roethlisberger an eight-year deal worth $102 million. We like Big ben, but we’re not sure he deserves to be one of the top 5 highest paid players in the league, and the length of the contract makes us nervous.

Yes, he has a Super Bowl ring, but he needs to take a step forward and show he can be a big component to this team winning big games. They were 10-6 last year and lost at home in the playoffs to Jacksonville.
