Ben Roethlisberger's days with the Pittsburgh Steelers may be numbered.
After the huge black eye that has become a sexual abuse case that Roethlisberger was presumably involved in over a month ago, the quarterback has been suspended by the NFL for the first six games of the 2010 regular season.
That puts a huge crimp in the Steelers season plans. Even though Roethlisberger has won two Super Bowl titles in Pittsburgh, the Steelers are more than willing to trade him. According to the NFL Network, the Steelers were rejected by the Rams, but, are instead in negotiations with the Raiders. What else is new? The Raiders are synonymous with acquiring guys with bad reputations.
The Steelers want to move up in the draft where they would look to take either Jimmy Clausen or Tim Tebow. Tebow is more of the patron Saint that Pittsburgh needs. Tebow is very religious, and the distinction as a good kid. Rumors have swirled that Clausen's personality is not so great, and has rubbed people the wrong way.
Can the Steelers do this and live to tell about it? Of course; they are the Steelers - the best run franchise in the NFL with six Super Bowl titles.
