I believe that the whole idea of this story being leaked is a trial balloon to see how the fan base would react to the idea of moving Ben. The source is reportedly coming from the organization, and the story says that they listened to offers last off-season.
If the fans are in an uproar over the rumor, then it goes away and he stays in Pitt. If the response is passive, then I can see the team exploring their options.
