I would trade for Big Ben so fast it would make the Rooney's collective heads spin. I don't give a rats ass what he did, as long as he keeps it in his pants from now on and produces on the field, I couldn't care less.

What would you give for him, realistically?

2nd rounder this year and maybe something next year (not to high). If they say no, then I say, "go ahead and keep him."

I would be SHOCKED if they get a top 10 pick for a player who'll miss 6 games this season AND coming with character issues. SHOCKED.

Exactly...nobody in their right mind (which obviously doesn't include Mr. Davis) would give up a top-10 pick, and likely not even a 1st rounder given all the baggage he brings.

Well, for a second rounder and a little something next year, that's a no brainer. I imagine Steeler fans are hoping for a little bit more!

I'm sure Philly fans wanted more for McNabb too, but when a team loses leverage on a player, they have to accept less than market value in return or they're simply stuck with that player.

Steelers have been in contact w/ Raiders regarding Big Ben trade. Might be only real option. More on NFLN and NFL.com

I know we're hoping Davis will come along, but I would trade for Ben, Alex and Carr can battle for back-up and maybe Davis makes it past waivers.... Just like with Walsh - he was loyal to winning, not to a player - even Joe Montana.
