The agent for Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, Ryan Tollner, has now released a statement on Twitter regarding the Sunday morning report made by Ian Rapoport in which he reported the quarterback wants the team to look into trading him following the season.
“Ian Rapoport’s apparent sources seem to be guessing what Ben feels about the Steelers and being traded. This is completely wrong and inaccurate. Ben has always said he wants to play his entire career for the Steelers, and his roots are set firmly in Pittsburgh. He has a lot left in the tank and is 100% committed to winning more championships with the Steelers.” — Agent Ryan Tollner, Rep1 Sports
I would expect Roethlisberger to be asked about this after the game and his response is predictable.
