Yeah Pitt is at a huge advantage being able to keep him locked down through the FT. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised to see them let him walk and invest in building out the rest of the team. Given this is most likely Ben's last year before retirement, they are going to need some funds to stay competitive in the near future...
Ben is such a difference maker - it truly is remarkable how the Steelers go from a great team to a .500 team the minute he steps off the field, even with the other two Bs.
