Adam Shefter tweeting....

Re: Adam Shefter tweeting....

If we trade Ben, and draft Offense, then I'm done. Our Offense will suck regardless without him.

So if you trade him, do it for Defense. And win that way. Eric Berry, Rolando McClain, Asomugha, etc.

If they trade him, I'm done no matter. 40 years of being a fan down the drain until I recover from one of the worst moves in NFL history.

@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.

Wow...

I heard Cincy was offering their number 1 and golden boy Carson in exchange for Ben.

Re: Adam Shefter tweeting....

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Schefter is the one guy I believe. He doesn't put out things like this until he gets real confirmation.

If this was La Confora or michael lombardi or someone else, I would blow it off. Schefter I actually believe...

Schefter said the NFL's decision was coming Mon or Tues, he was wrong.

Fair enough. I just believe Schefter when he says the Steelers are talking to teams in the top 10. Him and Jay Glazer are two guys that are usually right.

Doesn't mean Ben will be traded. Just that there are conversations going on between the teams...

Re: Adam Shefter tweeting....

Jom is right about Shefter...He usually is dead on.

I don't think the Steelers would let this get out just to benefit them or make Ben feel threatened. Openly shopping a player is almost as bad as trading the player. The backlash will only hurt his value especially when his production falls off from frustration and losing his will to play at a high level. Not many players stay the same or elevate their production when they are being shopped.

I told many of you...Prepare yourself. There is still "Old Fashion" ownership at the helm...Morals are on a different scale in Pittsburgh.

I could see how you could say that if the move was made by Mike Brown, but you don't think the Rooney's know what they are doing?

I would trade owners in a heartbeat with you guys...

Sure, but only if you take Mike Brown in the deal...

Re: Adam Shefter tweeting....

The 4 game suspension hurts his trade value, but it is not devastating. His recent behavior is what really hurts his value. The guy is under contract for 5 more years. So, the suspension really only effects a small portion of his availability.

I don't think he'll be traded, but those who want 2 #1s plus more are probably fooling yourselves. Ben is no longer worth that much. If he goes, we will have no chance to win a Super Bowl for at least 2 years.

I have questioned them in the past for getting not re-signing Woodson and others. Also didn't like the 5th round pick for HOlmes. But if they get rid of Ben for a top ten pick, they've lost it IMO.

I hear a rumor that Ben was shopping Art Rooney around for alcohol shots at bars.

Re: Adam Shefter tweeting....

I just don't understand the whole "I'm done" statement with regard to being a Steeler fan. I may be miserable for years regarding any decision that would let my beloved Steelers go through some "LEAN" years... but I can't see supporting any other team. This has been my team since I first watched football and no matter what, it will stay my team.

Re: Adam Shefter tweeting....

I can stomach a trade if it was for the Rams' #1 overall and the Steelers took Bradford. Anything else would be team suicide.

I don't think Leftwich, Dixon, and Batch strike fear into too many NFL defenses.

Ben is worth well more than this years #1 overall pick.

I said I'd be done with football period, not just the Steelers. I would never root for another team. I hate the way the rules have changed and give the offense all the 'perks'. They're slowly ruining the sport for me and this would almost put me over the top.

Re: Adam Shefter tweeting....

If this helps..

@JasonLaCanfora

Steelers had very brief talk with Rams overweekend, but STL has no interest in Big Ben. Steelers hoped to get 1st overall pick..

As we reported exclusively last week. Steelrs open to dealing the QB, but no chance of moving to 1st overall. Trading Big Ben now almost...

impossible. Check out NFL.com for all the details and NFL Network as well.

So if the Rams were open to it, then it might happen. But since they want Bradford, it doesn't look like there will be any trade for Ben. At least according to La Canfora...
