I don't care about rumors or twitter or Rappaport. It would be insane to let Ben go. But I'll tell you this, Cleveland would sell their soul for a franchise QB and that would move him only 90 minutes from home.

2014 MNF EXEC CHAMPION!!!
Cha-ching!!! I am willing to bet not only does Arizona go hard after Ben, but Cleveland will to. And if Ben and his agent given permission by the Steelers to explore trade options, I am willing to double that bet they look hard at the Browns. He goes closer to home and he'll get to play the Steelers twice a year. Cleveland has two 1st round picks and both could be top 15 picks.
Of course, the Steelers will only do this if Cleveland over pays. And I agree with you. They will.
But here is where I disagree with you. You say it is insane to let Ben go? With Ben the past year and half the Steelers are 11-15. He is going to be 32 next year. His cap hit is close to $14 million dollars. This team has many holes on both sides of the ball that will take several years to fill. I say it is insane not to trade him.
Steelers 2015 Draft???....Go Freak! As in....

His wife is from Pittsburgh. Ben plays football and travels. It's more important for his wife and kids to be closer to family than it is for him. Mrs. Roethlisberger is calling the shots now and I bet she wants to remain in Pittsburgh and so does Ben. Someone should ask her. I think she could put this rumor to bed.
Dubs he isn't spot on. He said Ben isn't to blame for the offensive woes. Well if he isn't then I don't know who is. He certain had a HUGE role in how poorly this O has rolled.
Trolls are people too.
Ben going to Cleveland after adamantly claiming to be a "Pittsburgher" who wanted to play for the Steelers the rest of his career would be a level of douchebaggery that only guys like Nick Saban can sink to. Think what you want about Ben, yes he plays for money, but he's not that kind of jackass.
Madden wants to eat a big piece of the attention pie.
