On Thursday, former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall became the latest name to cause controversy for a franchise that could use some good will after the entire Antonio Brown fiasco.
Mendenhall accused Ben Roethlisberger of being a racist and then backtracked hours later.
It was a claim that prompted Ramon Foster to step in and handle.
The offensive lineman took to Twitter on Thursday and delivered a PSA to current and former players of the Steelers that called for an end to all the drama and accusations.

“Moving forward … Any former player of affiliate of the Steelers who has an issue with anyone still in the locker room, please contact me of Maurkice Pouncey or anyone else you feel you can talk to. Whoever you have an issue with, we will get your their number so you can address them. I PROMISE.”
“These media takes might give y’all good traffic on your social media outlets but the guys still in that locker room, who y’all still know personally have to answer for those comments. Call them what you want, but call them personally and tell THEM. Defend who you want to defend but you don’t have to mention the team at all.”
“Whether you have a ring or played for one year … ENOUGH … CHILL. Most players at one point in their life want to take their kids back to the place where they once played, don’t burn too many bridges. It’s a long history or brotherhood more than anything, BUSINESS is one thing but let’s keep it at a minimum for the guys who have to answer for those comments going forward.”
One would think the drama would subside once Brown and Bell found new homes, but it seemed to have motivated former players to come out and speak their truth.
