NFL News: Ben Roethlisberger issues a big warning to Mike Tomlin and Aaron Rodgers as Steelers fans are losing their patience

Ben Roethlisberger was the last quarterback to win a Super Bowl with the Steelers. That was over 16 years ago. Now, Mike Tomlin and general manager Omar Khan have sparked a revolution in free agency, trying to make the team championship contenders once again.

The latest move in the plan designed for this offseason was giving T.J. Watt a big three-year, $123 million contract extension. That’s why, during his podcast Footbahlin, Big Ben made it very clear what message the Pittsburgh Steelers want to send to their fans.

“All in. That’s what it tells me. They’re all in for this year and obviously the foreseeable future trying to get a Super Bowl. It’s a great move to get your leader back in there. It’s a lot of money. He deserves it. I hope this keeps him in Pittsburgh until retirement. I don’t know how long he wants to play, but it would be great if it’s here.”

How many Super Bowl has Mike Tomlin won?

Mike Tomlin has won one Super Bowl with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Although he has two appearances in the big game (he lost the other one to Aaron Rodgers and the Packers), the fanbase is starting to lose patience after eight straight years without a playoff win.

That led Omar Khan to bring in names like Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, Jalen Ramsey, and Darius Slay to join other stars like T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward. According to Ben Roethlisberger, there are no more excuses for this group.

“This team right now is built and what Coach Tomlin has built, it’s a Super Bowl or bust team in my opinion. I anticipate big things this year. When Coach Tomlin built this team, there’s no way that they are saying .500. That’s not even like on the table right now. I don’t want to say that anything short of that is a failed season, because that seems like unfair pressure, but it also feels like that’s what they’ve built for. It’s not about just getting to the playoffs. That can’t be the final goal of this team. It can’t be that. This team is built right now to go to a Super Bowl and to win a Super Bowl. So, it needs to happen.”
