In Big Bucks Ben We Trust
gommo March 4th, 2008
The Steelers extended Ben Roethlisberger’s contract today to an 8-year, $102 MILLION dollar deal. That’s the largest contract ever for a Steeler and makes a massive statement that the Rooney’s are giving the keys to the Steelers to Big Ben. Let’s hope this helps bring another couple of Superbowl trophies to Pittsburgh.
Some interesting statistics from this
- He gets $25.2 million for just signing the contract
- Using his stats for last year this equates to $31,875 per pass attempt and $398,437.50 per touchdown.
I guess they felt sorry for him getting sacked so much last year. At least he’ll be able to pay for insurance 
Good on you Ben. Here we go Steelers, here we go !
