What If: Steelers Traded Ben

The Washington Redskins just traded away major assets for the rights to draft Robert Griffin.

D.C. gave the St. Louis Rams three first round draft selections and a second round selection. That’s a first & second round pick this year and the Skins’ first round picks for the next two seasons.

Quite a haul to give up for a pick which will presumably be used on a quarterback who has never played a down in the pros.

We like Griffin, and think he will be a great fit in Washington. But if a quarterback of his proposed caliber is worth that much, what is a player like Ben Roethlisberger worth?

Did you see that roster?

I know this is just hypothetical, and I would never trade Ben. But wow.

Since this article is just for fun, I say we go all out. Following the proposed trade, we'd have 3 first-round picks. Then if Wallace gets signed by another team, we'd have FOUR first-round picks. If that scenario was possible, they should consider trading Ben. I'm not saying they should do it ... but it would be something they should at least consider.

Trade him for 5 first round picks and "ONE MILLION DOLLARS"
