2 min read
According to the announcement of The Pittsburgh Steelers, the former first-round had signed future/reserve contract. Haskins joins Mason Rudolph and Ben Roethlisberger. They both signed for one more season for the expanded roster of the offseason.
Pittsburgh was not selected till 24th spot of the current year’s draft. It is regarded as one of the ideal places for starting fresh.
The future of Roethlisberger is unclear. He is going to be 39 in the month of March. Roethlisberger is now the one and only quarterback who remains from the draft of 2004. It was after Matt Schaub and Philip Rivers who joined Eli Manning during the time of retirement. Big Ben elevated the Steelers offence in 2020. He was not present in the whole 2019 season because of the elbow injury. He just passed all his prime.
6.3 average yards was the attempt of Roethlisberger. It is considered to be the worst among the full season in 17 years career. He largely forswears all the scrambles and also the ability of once-signature. It also extended his plays from all the pockets and the ball was pushed downfield so that they are released quickly.
Roethlisberger is the two-time champion of the Super Bowl and is scheduled to make approximately $19 million in the upcoming days of 2021. But according to Spotrac, he also has a cap hit which is more than $41 million. There are also more records about Roethlisberger. He had completed 47 passes which is according to the NLF record. This is after the throw of 68 times which is a playoff record for about four touchdowns and 501 yards in the Pittsburgh’s wild-card loss. The loss was to the Cleveland Browns and was at the same time intercepted for four times.
The microphones of NFL Films caught Roethlisberger in tears. This is a very emotional time as the game commiserating with Roethlisberger is with a very close friend and veteran Maurkice Pouncey. He was the longtime centre for the team.
Steelers, Mike Tomlin’s coach, gave no clear indication about the upcoming days of the quarterback position for the rest of the season.
According to him, they have not made any decision about any of the personnel along the particular lines. He also added that they are just beginning to scratch the surface of 2021 and how it looks like during the team’s makeup.
Furthermore, Tomlin also said about Roethlisberger that he thinks it is much reason for the assumption that Roethlisberger will be back soon. Washington also drafted the 15th overall of Haskins in 2019 and waived him in December. This followed the loss of week 16’s to Carolina.
Before the departure, Dwayne Haskin benched many a time for poor performance during the season. He also stripped of the captaincy and got fined many a time for violating the protocols of COVID-19. The most recent one was during a party that included strippers in the month of December. People also questioned him about maturity and ethics.
