In spite of talking about an early retirement last season, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Ben Roethlisberger want to keep their relationship going for at least a couple more years. The Steelers announced they’d reached a two-year contract extension with Roethlisberger that will keep him on the roster through the 2021 season.
Roethlisberger was entering the final year of his four-year, $87.6 million contract.
The #Steelers have finalized a 2-year extension for QB Ben Roethlisberger, sources say. He now has 3 years total on his deal and Pittsburgh beats their deadline of the draft.

Rams pick up Goff’s fifth-year option
In a move that surprised no one, the Los Angeles Rams picked up quarterback Jared Goff’s fifth-year option on his rookie contract. Goff has led the Rams to back-to-back NFC West titles and an NFC Conference Championship last season. His contract now goes through the 2020 season, but he and the team will likely work out a lucrative extension this year.
The #Rams have now officially exercised QB Jared Goff’s $22.783M option for 2020, but it won’t become fully guaranteed until the start of the league year next March. They can move on from him after 2019 with no cap ramifications.https://t.co/l6eglTYea3
