Ben Roethlisberger and his current situation. Possible Draft Scenarios.


I don't think that I really need to explain my in depth hate for that of the Pittsburgh Steelers.  I think given his three extra curricular activities (motorcycle, acting like Kobe in Reno, and then the 20 yr old woman in Georgia), those instances and this photo above can possibly give some insight on how "Big" Ben likes to spend his free time.

Reports all afternoon have the Steelers now shopping there star QB who also carries a large contract.

According to NFL Network's Jason La Canfora, the Raiders are in contact with the Steelers about a trade for Ben Roethlisberger.
La Canfora says Oakland "might be (the) only real option" for Pittsburgh if the Steelers are truly prepared to wash their hands of the 28-year-old QB. The Raiders, smartly (for once), appear to have realized that JaMarcus Russell is a bust, and very arguably the biggest in NFL history. The Steelers might ask for Nnamdi Asomugha in addition to Oakland's No. 8 overall pick. Apr. 21 - 3:30 pm et

It may be weeks until we really know what's going on behind the scenes regarding Ben Roethlisberger's trade talks.

In the short term, teams connected to him are choosing to deny, deny, deny.  The Browns are the latest, telling the Cleveland Plain-Dealer they have not been contacted by Pittsburgh.  NFL Network's Jason La Canfora also reports the Steelers wouldn't trade Big Ben inside the division.

It would be rather surprising if Pittsburgh was willing to help the Browns, but a lot of surprising things have occurred of late.  We can't help but remember Mike Holmgren's recent statement:

"Prior to the draft, I'll say any number of things for any number of reasons."
Ben for a Top 10? From ESPN
I myself could really see Roethlisberger going to Seattle (because they need a new, young QB and have two 1st rd picks tomorrow). And I see Oakland making the jump.  Because Al Davis is....well..... Al Davis.  JaMarcus Russell is a joke of a QB and Al Davis will pull the trigger on anything he feels will make his team better (note, what HE feels makes the team better).

The more interesting piece is what if Seattle does take Ben?  The what happens to all of the billions of man hours wasted on mock drafts?  If Seattle gives up the #6 pick for BR, who then would the Steelers pick at 6?  Would Eric Berry be a lock for us at #7 now?  What other trades could take place because of BR relocating of the eve of the draft?  

Oh this draft is gonna be fun.

2018 NFL Draft Cleveland Browns Preview

***UPDATE #2*** Per RotoWorld and Jordan Raanan of ESPN: Rumor has it that the NY Giants are only willing to spend the 2nd overall pick in April's draft for a QB if it were going to be Sam Darnold. Read More    Browns also made another move in for the secondary by signing CB EJ Gaines. Read More. **UPDATE** As many of you have probably already scene. The NY Giants traded DE Jason Pierre-Paul to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday. Really, three things could happen here. Giants draft a QB or Barkely. They could still trade out with Buffalo or another sneaker team that no one is aware of yet. Finally, and what seems to now make the most sense, they draft DE Bradley Chubb in place of JPP's vacancy.   Who will be the one? Just weeks away from the 2018 NFL Draft and our beloved Cleveland Browns find themselves again picking high in Round 1.  At this point, with the New York Jets trading up to the #3 spot it looks like this draft could be shaking u...

NFL Trade Deadline at 4pm Today.

With any of the 4 major sports, there are always rumors galour during the trade deadline. Along with an Indians team that fell well short of expectations. The Browns may also be in a selling mood. Names being mentioned have been Joshua Cribbs, Brady Quinn, Kameron Wimbley and Shaun Rodgers. Another name being mentioned as been former Buckeye Ted Ginn Jr of the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins may now have realized that they took him way to high in the draft just a few years ago. However if the Browns want a vertical threat at the right price, Ginn could be there man. If you recall rumors circulated earlier this year that the Dolphins and Browns were talking Braylon Edwards and Ronnie Brown. Maybe we can trade Wimbley for Bill Parcells instead? At this point I am still reluctant to give up Wimbley. Yes, he has fallen short of expectations from his standout rookie season, but on the other hand, he already has matched his sack totals from a year ago (4), and is on pace to beat his tota...

How Does Johnny Football Figure Into This Years Draft?

With the NFL Draft fast approaching your Cleveland Browns are faced with another slew of challenges (and by challenges I really mean a giant shit storm of problems). It is beyond obvious that GM Ray Farmer is clueless on how to build a team through the draft and all the corner office suits are so inept at there positions that we can't even get any decent free agents to visit let alone sign here. The Browns are currently picking 12th and 19th in the first round. Depending on the mock draft the Browns could be doing anything from trading up with  Tennessee to draft Marcus Mariota or just turning in a blank card on draft day. For once, the Browns should only do one of two things. One: Stay at both 12 and 19 and draft the best available player or your "big board" at those spots. We basically suck at every position but LT, C, and one CB spot. Bolster your roster from top to bottom, add depth, play makers, make smart decisions. If the QB you want is not going to be...
