Schefter: Steelers Contacting Teams to Trade Big Ben for Top 10 pick
http://twitter.com/adam_schefter
Pittsburgh has begun contacting teams to trade Ben Roethlisberger for a top 10 pick. At least one team considering it. Story far from done. |

You simply cannot pass that guy up. Imagine Jared Allen, but paying less for a more important player.

If they are trading him for a top ten, then I'll offer them Cassel and #5 for Ben and a third.

Seriously... If push came to shove... and the Steelers were like... "Ok, the #5, Cassel, and your 2011 1st and THE DEAL IS DONE!" I'd act like I was thinking about it...grunt a few times...huff and puff...and then say...DEAL! |

I will say this:
There are equally compelling arguments to be made on both sides of this issue. I don't necessarily think there is a "wrong" answer in this case. He's a proven player in his prime but he carries a massive risk and will require a hefty price.

For one pick in this draft, especially when we have two seconds...
Done. Yesterday. The compensation simply isn't demanding. |

I just refuse to believe a high profile, rich, WHITE (sorry, has to be said) NFL QB walks around with his posse and rapes girls because that's his fetish and then expects to get away with it... Sorry. I find that extremely hard to believe... and find my scenario to be WAY more likely. |

i wouldn't stop rooting for the chiefs if we acquired him...hell, I'm a fan in the end
and he is without a doubt one of the top 4 QBs in the league... i just wouldn't personally make the move

I agree with Hootie--did I just say that?--that the odds of Roethlisberger getting into trouble again seem pretty low. Just a guess. Nothing more.
And I don't give a **** if the players are "nice guys" or even "decent guys." I want ****ing wins. Period. |

out of everyone in the top 10...we have an enticing piece (Cassel) and the picks to STEAL him from the Steelers (whoa)...
Seriously...we all know Cassel sucks...but just one year ago he was highly regarded and this way the Steelers can get a QB back in the deal and point to his 2008 so fans have a little false hope while gaining some top tier picks... and we get the steal of the decade. |

Trade for him and then draft Tebow and make them be bunkmates.

people on this site, or in the media, or anywhere will skate around it...but I'm a nobody and don't care if people think I'm a racist asshole...
If he was black...I wouldn't touch him with a 20 foot pole. But he's white and comes from a good family background. His risk is minimal. He's wise enough to know this is his last chance... He's not from the ghetto...crime isn't all he knows. |

Ok...so lets say he raped these two girls. Fine. He's gotten away with it now...both times. Cases closed. I love to bet...I'd bet ANYTHING something like this doesn't happen for the next 7 years...and if it does...I bet you within 1 month it would be found as an unsubstantiated claim since Roethlisberger is such a target right now... Basically... I'll bet ANYTHING after this NFL suspension, he'll never face another one for the rest of his NFL career. |
