This offseason, quarterback put plenty of fear into Pittsburgh fans by in 2017. Retirement was on the table, Brandin Bryant Jersey but no one really believed him, even when he doubled down and .Roethlisberger , giving everyone an official sigh of relief. One former teammate of Big Ben's, , and this week Roethlisberger confirmed as much."What, did you think I was lying?" Roethlisberger asked when someone inquired about Colon's comments. "It doesn't matter, I'm here now."The phrase "doesn't matter" got repeated as well, because people wanted to, understandably, know just how serious Roethlisberger was about actually walking away from football. Roethlisberger wasn't really interested in talking about his level of interest in walking away from the game, which was probably Tyrel Dodson Jersey fairly low considering the Steelers are still good, he's still not that old and he's still slated to make a boatload of cash in the coming seasons."It honestly doesn't even matter. I'm happy to be back here, I'm happy to be back with the team," Roethlisberger said. "I love this city, I love these guys. I love being out here. Football is a pa sion of mine. It's what I do and what I love to do."Ben Roethlisberger said 110 percent committed to Steelers. Asked about seriousne s of retirement: What, did you think I was lying? Jeremy Fowler (@JFowlerESPN) Asked specifically how committed he is, Roethlisberger echoed that he's all-in Cody Ford Jersey on this season with the Steelers. "I'm 110 percent committed, like I said I was," Reothlisberger said.The idea that he would walk away is pretty incredulous to consider. It seemed more likely that, following an embarra sing lo s to the in the AFC Championship Game, Roethlisberger was to the rest of the roster about the serious nature of how they should approach 2017.Roethlisberger is a Khalil Shakir Jersey two-time champion, but it's quietly been a while since the Steelers have hoisted the Lombardi Trophy, at least by their lofty standards.Not that they haven't been good; the last two seasons, they fell to the eventual Super Bowl champs. They lost to the (without , courtesy ) in 2015 and last year fell to the Patriots. In the 2014 playoffs, Pittsburgh lost to the after Le'Veon Bell went down with injury. Worth noting too is that Bell went down in the postseason last year too. They haven't been lucky at the end of O.J. Howard Jersey the season despite winning 32 games over the past three years. It's probably frustrating to Roethlisberger, who, at the age of 35, understands he doesn't have a full career remaining.Which is why he has urgency for 2017.
