EDTShareTweetShareShareKevin Colbert believes criticism won’t affect Ben Roethlisberger, confirms contract talks ongoingBrian Spurlock-USA TODAY SportsWith Ben Roethlisberger having been something of a punching bag for the national media as of late, it has been a rough offseason for the Pittsburgh Steelers star quarterback. But while many outsiders seem to believe that the Steelers will still have problems in their locker room as long as Big Ben remains, it is clear that General Manager Kevin Colbert disagrees. When speaking to reporters at the owners annual meeting in Arizona on Sunday, Colbert dismissed criticisms of Roethlisberger as nothing more than white noise, once again expressing his support for the quarterback.And for those concerned about how Big Ben will be handling all the negative attention, Colbert’s remarks suggest he believes Roethlisberger will be relatively unaffected by it all.

Watt Jersey White , the Steelers GM acknowledged that negotiations were ongoing, but said little that would imply the two side were close to an agreement.Given how long they have been in negotiations with Big Ben over this final extension, it seems safe to say that Pittsburgh will not be getting a hometown discount. And while the front office is unlikely to need any additional salary cap space this year to get the deal done, Colbert confirmed the team would be creating some soon with impending departure of Morgan Burnett.Preferring to trade him if possible, Colbert left little doubt that the safety would not be with the Steelers much longer.Due a base salary of $5 million in 2019 and a workout bonus worth an extra $50,000, it is unlikely that Pittsburgh will be able to find anyone willing to offer much more than a late round draft pick for the 30-year-old defensive back.

Let's go take care of business,'" Roethlisberger said.On the decisive play, Roethlisberger saw the Bengals (4-2) were set for an all-out blitz with no safeties guarding the end zone.
