Steelers have internally discussed trading Roethlisberger

Re: Steelers have internally discussed trading Roethlisberger

Like JOM said, "at this point." He did not deny internal discussions about trading him. No media outlets have said that there were discussions with other teams. Right now, they plan on keeping him. But, anything could happen especially if Ben continues to disrespect the franchise (as he did as his PC with that awful, insincere sounding speech and trailer trash look). He is under the microscope now, and he better start to improve.

Re: Steelers have internally discussed trading Roethlisberger

I don't listen to anything the media is telling anyone. they've completely blown this situation out of proportion. I do believe the rooneys are pissed though. I mean, why wouldn't htey be? all signs say they are... or did you forget about ben standing completely alone in his press conference the other day? and the thing about the trade was in reply to DD's trade idea.

Birtikidis...this just isnt any media guy. This comes from LaCanfora from the NFL Network/NFL. I think this dude is pretty connected.

He is the one that reported that Hampton would be a surprise cut during training camp last year.

He may be a stooge that is fed mis-information for the purpose of motivating players, but I'm not sure that I'd call him well connected.

I was just listening to him after the PC... he seems to talk out both sides of his mouth. and he talks with enough conviction that he sounds like he knows what he's talking about. but as Eisen said (to the effect of) all this talk of trade is fantasy land

Re: Steelers have internally discussed trading Roethlisberger

I think this statement is more of a threat to Ben. I don't think they really want to trade Ben and start from the beginning again with so many veterans on the squad.

Cha-ching!

I agree... no one wants to trade Ben but he is making it easier to think about it with the off field issues. It's not like Ben's on field talent makes him trade bait. I would be furious if we traded Ben to get Sam Glassford or Tim Teblow...

Those guys are not franchise QB's IMO.

I would say that it isn't easier to think about it.. i think it's more of, now we kinda HAVE to think about it. I mean, I would be disappointed as hell if we did trade him, bc it was never a possibility until now..

You agree with me? Remember the glory days when we fought over whether it was the D's fault or the O's fault? Yeah ... I long for those days again! :P

What's with all this agreement crap? We can't have that. I'll start the arguments back up again. SteelAbility, you be "Great Taste" and feltdizz can be "Less Filling"

It's been so hectic I forgot who my enemies are on here.

...or maybe I just disagree based on topic and not person...

I'm Great Taste though... Steelability is less filling.

Re: Steelers have internally discussed trading Roethlisberger

Ben will not be traded.

yes, the Rooneys are pissed off but more than anything else this is meant as a very loud and clear message to Ben.

if he does something stupid again however, he is gone...

Good call, Hawaiiann. I agree.
