Ben Roethlisberger has admitted he’s considered coming out of retirement and joining the San Francisco 49ers. 

The team is in need of strengthening in the quarterback position, however, Brock Purdy stepped up to help them claim a statement win over Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this past Sunday. And, at least at the moment, he has the looks of a kid with a very bright future.

Purdy, though, got hurt during the game, with subsequent reports noting he was set for an MRI for an oblique injury. San Francisco would do well to get another QB on their books given that they’ve lost both Trey lance and Jimmy Garoppolo for the season.

With the playoffs fast approaching, who knows which moves they might consider making? As for Ben, the former Pittsburgh Steelers star revealed he’s given thought to returning and suiting up for the Niners.

“I thought about it,” he said on his Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger podcast this week.
