Big Ben's Time Ticking in Pittsburgh

Steeler "outcast" Big Ben, like the rappers, won't be getting any hits soon after his 4-6 game suspension.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are being reported to be shopping QB Ben Roethlisberger
for a top 10 pick in the 2010 draft. They have recently contacted the St. Louis Rams about a possible switch for the first overall spot, the Rams declined.

Other teams have been said to not enter talks until Roethlisberger's suspension length is officially decided. The suspension is currently set at 4-6 games, but there is talks that it could be reduced depending on Big Ben's compliance with the leagues conduct policy and an evaluation with a counselor.

On Tuesday, Pittsburgh traded a seventh-round pick in the draft to Tampa Bay for Byron Leftwich, adding depth to the QB position in anticipation of a possible Roethlisberger suspension.
