As the 15th anniversary of his Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger‘s selection

as the 11th overall pick in the draft approaches Anthony Chickillo Jersey , Roethlisberger has signed a contract that will dwarf the base six-year, $22.26 million deal he received in 2004. So how much will Roethlisberger make?Although the Steelers haven’t been shy about paying Roethlisberger close to market value, Roethlisberger was careful about not letting out details of his last deal. That contract, signed in March 2015, put him at $21.85 million per year in new money, not far behind Aaron Rodgers‘ former rate of $22 million per year, the top of the market at the time.Rodgers is now at $33.5 million per year in new money Mike Hilton Jersey , and Russell Wilson recently jumped to $35 million. Our guess is that Roethlisberger’s new contract falls somewhere between Matt Ryan‘s $30 million per year new-money average and Rodgers’ current rate.The new contract will be a two-year extension. If the Steelers remain true to their past business practices, they will pay guaranteed money only in the form of a signing bonus and first-year salary. With $5 million already earned in March and $12 million more due this season, Roethlisberger could get a signing bonus in the range of $45 million, since that’s the only guaranteed money he’ll receive on what will be a three-year commitment. The two-year extension possibly will fall between $60 million and $64 million, putting the new-money average between $30 million and $32 million and the total value from signing of the new three-year deal at $77 million to $81 million, with an average worth at signing of anywhere from $25.67 million to $27 million.For now, this is just as semi-educated guess. The real numbers eventually will be disclosed Joe Haden Jersey , even if Roethlisberger and his agent refrain (as they did in 2015) from trumpeting the numbers right out of the gates.Update your rosters, a couple Steelers have changed their jersey numbers Since writing for this lovely site, I have often told people in written, and audio, form to not buy any jersey until the regular season begins. Why?Because sometimes jersey numbers change.When players are cut, or released, and their jersey number becomes available Vance McDonald Jersey , sometimes other teammates would want to swap numbers. This offseason the Steelers had a lot of jersey number turnover, especially in the secondary. Joe Haden snagged Mike Mitchell’s vacated No. 23. Sean Davis picked up Haden’s vacated No. 21. And Mike Hilton traded in his No. 31 for No. 28. It can all be very confusing, but there have been a few more jersey number changes. When Ryan Switzer came to Pittsburgh via trade, he wore No. 18. The No. 10 he coveted was currently being used by Undrafted Rookie Free Agent Quadree Henderson, but when Henderson failed to make the 53-man roster, largely due to Switzer’s acquisition, Switzer is now claiming the vacated No. 10.Switzer’s change in jersey number wasn’t the only number change for the Steelers. Free-agent tackle Tyson Alualu Jersey , Zach Banner, who came in midway through training camp, has decided to go with No. 72 for his new number. For now, the jersey numbers are finalized, but we know with life in the NFL, that can change at any minute.
