For the #Steelers or… overall? who will sign Big Ben at this point? https://t.co/SzmZi0mrTj

It's a couple of years too late for Ben but at least he realizes he's been holding his team back and willing to move on before things get ugly.

But the question remains if he's thinking about retiring or still wants to play? no team should sign him at his current state.

Oh sure… Ben will never do anything to make it about him…
