Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is grossly underpaid.

And he isn’t making a stink about it.Last year Doug Baldwin Color Rush Jersey , both Roethlisberger and Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers had two years left on increasingly below-market deals, with Roethlisberger at $21.85 million per year and Rodgers at $22 million per year. But while Rodgers clamored for a new deal (and got one, worth $33.5 million annually in new money), Roethlisberger remained patient.This year, Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, at $21.9 million per year, has set an April 15 deadline for a long-term deal to replace the last year of his current contract. Roethlisberger, entering the last year of his own deal, has said or done nothing to apply pressure C. J. Prosise Color Rush Jersey , directly or indirectly, to the Steelers.This isn’t about knocking Rodgers or Wilson for trying to get better deals; every player with leverage should. But it’s noteworthy that Roethlisberger, who routinely receives criticism for being a bad teammate and leader, hasn’t done something that even a good teammate and leader would be justified in doing: Trying to get more for himself and his family.Roethlisbeger may indeed get more, but he’s not driving the kind of bargain that Rodgers was a year ago and Wilson is now, even if Roethlisberger could. Although he’s a far cry from Tom Brady‘s bargain-basement contracts, if Ben were as selfish as he’s portrayed it would be very easy for him to make comments about his substandard deal, and to instigate via his agent the kind of agitation that would force the Steelers to eventually choose between a franchise-tag fiasco or a trip to the open market.With a cap number of $23.2 million this year, Roethlisberger could put the Steelers in position to pay $27.84 million in 2020 Tre Madden Color Rush Jersey , $33.4 million in 2021, and $48.1 million in 2022. But the possibility of a year-to-year cap mess or a departure from Pittsburgh has never even landed on the radar screen of possible outcomes. Which conflicts sharply with the manner in which many choose to regard Roethlisberger. Seahawks rookie defensive end L.J. Collier was carted off at Tuesday’s practice and there was an update about his condition a couple of hours later.The good news is that Collier avoided a season-ending injury. The bad news is that the first-round pick is set to miss a chunk of time while recovering that could impact how much he’ll be able to help this season.Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Collier suffered a sprained ankle. He adds that Collier is likely to miss the preseason, which isn’t ideal for a rookie trying to acclimate himself to NFL life.For the time being, the Seahawks are going to be working without two top pass rushing options. Collier was drafted with a pick acquired in the Frank Clark trade and joins Ziggy Ansah, another new member of the team, on the sideline recovering from injury this summer.The Seahawks are also set to be without defensive tackle Jarran Reed for the first six games of the season because of a suspension. They’ll be hoping Ansah and Collier progress enough to make that the only missing piece up front.
