Steelers have begun contacting teams to trade Ben

The Steelers actually contacted the Panthers offering Roethlisberger in exchange for player(s)/pick(s) unknown and our FO rebuffed them.

Best move they've made all offseason. God bless you Marty Hurney.

Second and D Will if I had to guess.

I don't love Ben's play, and I hate what he represents, but we could benefit greatly in the long run if we made that move.

If it truly was offered, and we passed, I would probably be a little angry.

Bah, depends on the offer...

If they wanted Williams OR Stewart, I'd say the FO did the smart thing.

If they wanted next year's first round pick, I'd say they might have been smart, might have not.

If they wanted a O-line player and a pick, I'd say they screwed up.

I would have traded D will, and a third, or an O lineman, or next years first.

The only one I prob would not have done is stew.

We need a QB, and while I do not put Ben in the top 6-7 in the League, we can certainly get by with a top 10 QB.

This is going to be really hard for the Steelers to pull off, even if the Raiders were included. IF indeed the 4-6 game suspension is accurate, so you have a guinny pig QB for those games knowing he will lose that spot week 7. I just don't see it happening.

Every QB that starts is thinking that he will shine, and you won't be able to replace him....but that never happens.

If you get the chance to start, do well, and get replaced, maybe you get shipped off in the offseason for a chance to start somewhere else.

They always give 110% when they get the shot.

Well the Steelers just reclaimed Byron Leftwich(not that he's on Rapelisberger's level) but they also still have Batch and Dennis Dixon so I think the Rooneys are ready to cut Mr. Benny Boy loose based on his bad character issues(regardless of whether or not he raped those girls or was set up) and his not so bright decision making skills. Heck Terry Bradshaw the best Steeler QB in history doesn't even like him.

I'm also gonna go on and say that Big Ben is massively out of shape and washed up, (yes I'm aware he won the Superbowl 2 years ago). And it is so incredibly doubtful that he will ever lead another team to the SuperBowl(and I think the Rooneys and Mike Tomlin realize that) that they might as well just go on and rape Choakland or some other NFL doormat for a top 10 pick plus whatever else they can manage to get for him.

Just my 2 cents.
