It has been a tumultuous offseason for the Pittsburgh Steelers, but Ben Roethlisberger appears willing to bridge the gap with his teammates.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will head into arguably the most difficult season of his career, as his top wide receiver, Antonio Brown, forced his way out of town after a highly-publicized dispute with management. Roethlisberger’s leeway with criticizing teammates – and Brown’s own issues working with the veteran quarterback – played a huge role in the NFL’s most decorated wide receiver fighting for a trade out of Pittsburgh.

Criticisms of Roethlisberger’s leadership, fanned by the flames of mis-placed words made by general manager Kevin Colbert, grew as a result of this saga. Perhaps in an effort to make peace with his teammates and show the fans that he’s serious about being the most supportive teammate possible, Roethlisberger is reportedly willing to end his weekly radio show.

According to Matt Verderame of FanSided, Roethlisberger is expected to give up his weekly radio show in Pittsburgh prior to the 2019 season. A team spokesman was unaware of the decision, but two sources have strongly indicated the move is expected to take place.

Roethlisberger’s radio show, which airs every Tuesday during the season on 93.7 The Fan, drew plenty of heat this offseason, as some were upset that the quarterback could critique his teammates on a public forum. However, Roethlisberger, who is 37 years old and has quarterbacked two Super Bowl-winning teams, asserted that he has every right to do this. Again, his general manager did not dispute this either.

Mounting pressure and the loss of important pieces around him may have caused Roethlisberger to change his mind. Roethlisberger once caught heat for subtly knocking backup quarterback Mason Rudolph after he was drafted, so it would be a strong gesture for him to step down from his radio show. He likes to speak his mind, but as a quarterback who has been successful in this league for many years, his words carry plenty of weight and are bound to be picked apart.

This can minimize one distraction from the Steelers, because with young players set to step up and a critical season ahead for people like head coach Mike Tomlin, the Steelers can ill-afford anything that could create the slightest bit of controversy.

The soft skinned ******* will have to find another way to finger point when they don't get their way.
 
Look he ain’t Brady and he’s gonna speak his mind. Nothing wrong with speaking your mind to players, just better said to their face. Hines said no way Steelers of his day would talk about others in the media. He learned his lesson, cool. Let’s wreak havoc

Brady speaks his mind in tantrums, don't fool yourself into thinking otherwise.

And the lesson Ben learned is how petty money hungry douchebags can be.

The **** said in his talk show was extremely mild often criticizing himself, but keep buying into what he said she said.
 
He should start giving no comment / extremely vanilla / coach speak replies to all questions. Give them the big **** you treatment.

By giving up the show. HE LEARNED TO KEEP **** IN-HOUSE.

By giving up the show he has realized he could have done a better job.

It shows growth, good job Ben
 
Hope this is true that he is giving up the radio show. He should take lessons from Bill B. in New England on how to respond to reporters without virtually saying anything. Just worry about the football and everything else will fall into place.

Should Ben also learn how to cheat from him, and ride the cotails of someone with a photographic memory?

Hines Ward is a liar then. Anyone remember him calling Ben out over the concussion?
 
Isn't talking to the media about someone on the team talking to the media about someone on the team talking to the media about someone on the team?

Bummer. I liked it.
 
Good, one less distraction on a team full of itself and under a weak head coach.
