Steelers' Ben Roethlisberger admits to recent struggles with addiction, renewed purpose for 2020
A focused Big Ben just let the world know what he's battled in recent years
"We get addicted to things. We sin. We're human. I think sometimes we get put on this pedestal where we can't make mistakes. I've fallen as short as anybody.
"I've been addicted to alcohol. I've been addicted to pornography, which makes me then not the best husband, not the best father, not the best Christian I can be. But you have to dedicate yourself and understand that you can get out of it because of the grace of God and him saying, 'Listen, you're good enough for me the way you are. You don't have to be perfect.'"

Wanna make $14 the hard way?
People can bitch about them signing Haskins, but there's virtually no risk to the Steelers. They've got nothing invested in him and if he can get his shit together, he could end up being a really good NFL qb. If he continues to make bad decisions, the Steelers will let him go and lose nothing.
As for Bell & Brown - They tried to keep LeVeon, but he chose to go elsewhere. He turned down more money (offered by Pittsburgh) than he's made in NY and now KC. Can't say the Steelers treated him poorly. Brown turned into an ego-maniac clown who was bring way too much negative headlines to the Steelers. At least they got something for him, unlike Oakland and New England (Brown's next two landing spots).
The me-first attitude in the lockerroom is a problem and needs to be addressed. Their list of unrestricted free agents is massive (JuJu, Conner, Villanueva, Dupree, Alualu, Sutton, Hilton, Feiler, Banner, Berry, Wormley, Dangerfield, S. Davis, Dobbs, Marsh). Depending on which of these they attempt to retain, it will tell you pretty quickly if they're trying to repair the culture in the lockerroom or not.
Vance McDonald has already announced his retirement and reportedly Pouncey won't be far behind. Ben's got - at most - 1 season left. His contract runs out after the 2021 season, so things will be looking mighty different in Pittsburgh over the next year or two.
