Back in the 2004 NFL Draft, Eli Manning, Philip Rivers came into the league and had Hall of Fame careers.
Manning retired after 2019 and Rivers did the same after 2020. It looks like Roethlisberger is the last one and latest who will end his career.
The 39-year-old had played his entire career with the Pittsburgh Steelers and has had an up and down year with them.
At times, he’s looked ready to retire. Other weeks, he looks like the guy who won two Super Bowls with Pittsburgh.
The Steelers have Mason Rudolph and former first round pick Dwayne Haskins, so it’s not clear if any of them could or will succeed Roethlisberger when he calls it a career.
The Steelers are 5-5-1 and still in the mix for the postseason, so his farewell tour could either be at the end of Week 18 or in a playoff game in January.
