The Pittsburgh Steelers' offseason has been the epitome of a rollercoaster fueled by incompetence and chaos. As we know, the conductor of that runaway train was none other than Antonio Brown, who forced his way out of the organization and was ultimately traded to the Raiders in March.

The superstar wideout did not make it a secret when discussing Ben Roethlisberger's role in his desire to leave Pittsburgh, with AB claiming that his lack of relationship with his quarterback, paired with the franchise's alleged royal treatment of Big Ben, played a pivotal role in his departure.

Here we are, more than two months later, and Roethlisberger is FINALLY going to tell his side of the story in a one-on-one exclusive interview with KDKA TV Sports Director, Bob Pompeani, that is set to air on Monday.

After remaining null on the offseason drama, Steelers' fans will finally get the chance to hear Roethlisberger's thoughts on the matter.

Roethlisberger is clearly fixated on repairing the team's chemistry, having taken teammates JuJu Smith-Schuster, James Conner and Ryan Switzer among other members of Pittburgh's offense out to his Georgia lake house.

Whether or not Roethlisberger is as bad a teammate as Brown has indicated remains unclear, but the power lays with Big Ben to rewrite that narrative over the course of the next few seasons. This initial interview is a great place to start.

It's pretty unbelievable to think that there is genuine bitterness between two star players who shared such historic chemistry on the field, but that is what happens when egos collide.

It'll be interesting to see what Big Ben has to say about the offseason dysfunction that his team is trying to put in the rear-view mirrors.
