Future of Big Ben

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger surprised everyone in his end of the season press conference when he would not commit to playing next season. He cited health concerns and the toll it has taken on his body. He said he would need time to make his decision.

Is he serious or was this an emotional reaction to losing the AFC Championship game? He still has three years on his contract and would be leaving $46 million on the table.

I think Big Ben is serious. It comes down to what is best for his long term. It wouldn't surprise me if he walks away. He needs time to think about his future.
