ESPN fixin to break some news on a Big Ben trade!

[Remote Controller]

WOW!

 

[Remote Controller]

All Shefter had was that the Steelers were contacting teams to move him for a top 10 pick. 1 team is dealing with them on this.

 

[storminn0rm]

Holy Sh!t, which team do you think would bite?

 

[chrisslabaugh]

Buffalo or Cleveland I would think.

Cleveland has enough picks that giving up 1.07 for Ben would be a great move. Could be the year to trade star QB's inside your own division

lol! Wow

Cleveland does sound like the most suitable place, having all those draft picks

Do you guys think Pittsburgh would trade him to a division rival?

I wouldn't think so, but Cleveland is the best place for him. They have to most to offer the Steelers draft pick wise.

 

[Cooley Cadets]

My guess is that at this point if the price is right they would let ANYONE take him.

 

[Sgt John]

I agree.

Was this a false alarm? Went to the ESPN home page and the twitter section is not there (that was where I saw it posted wasn't it?).

doesn't sound like this is close at all and I don't think there is any way he goes to Cleveland. Fan backlash in Cleveland would be massive on this one, they HATE anything black and gold and despise Ben....that is one town that I just don't see welcoming him.

The ultimate irony would be shipping his ass to Oakland! :biglaugh:

 

[chrisslabaugh]

He's an Ohio boy. Maybe they would be happy for him to turn his life around at home?

:dunno:

Please Please i'm begging you, Send him to the Raiders

The signing of Leftwich to me meant the Steelers have already made up there minds that his day's are numbered in Pittsburgh

Well Ben is from Ohio and he wasn't able to pick his team out of college. I think they will welcome him. For one the Browns have been terrible since their rebirth. They land a Superbowl winning QB while their hated rival will probably be forced to draft the Emu to replace Roethlisberger with the top 10 pick they get back.

 

[Sgt John]

You said emu.

Schefter Reports Steelers trying to trade benny now - THE BROWNS BOARD

Post from a Brown Stain message board. Vast majority of the posters there cringe at this thought.....far from the "welcome" you speak of.

It also means that the days of the play-offs are over too...for both Pittsburgh and Ben.

I like it. Do the right thing no matter how much it hurts.

 

[Kingdome]

He isn't a Brown yet. Give it time, they will get behind them.
