PITTSBURGH (AP) - Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is staying with the Pittsburgh Steelers after accepting a pay cut.

The team and the two-time Super Bowl winner say they have agreed on a new contract that assures the 39-year-old will be back for his 18th season with the team.

NFL Network, citing anonymous sources, said Roethlisberger’s new deal will essentially pay him $14 million this season and adds four voidable years to spread out the dead money.

Roethlisberger passed for 3,803 yards with 33 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 15 games in 2020 after missing almost all of 2019 with a right elbow injury.
