So, not sure the logic with that.  Secondly, you are right to an extent about Rooney being a hypocrite about ditching someone like Holmes for drugs and keeping Ben for his behavior.  But again - Holmes, guilty of a crime.  Ben - never proven guilty.  Being a dirtbag for one night doesn't really justify you being kicked off a team I guess.  @auditpro I agree that players should realize that playing for the Black and Gold will bring about a bigger pay day if you are good enough because of the cap rules for the next couple seasons, along with some big money guys leaving soon.  However, I can’t even begin to argue against what you are saying about Ben.  I’m no lawyer, but settling does not mean that you admit to guilt.  Settlements are usually dealt on a ‘damages’ type basis.  If Ben was actually guilty of rape, he would have been punished by the law.

They have to realize bigger money with the Steelers is down the road (more high paid retirees on the horizon). If they go with another team, then the draft is the best option for the Steelers - we need people that WANT to play for the black and gold. My best bet; trade Ben for the #1 pick plus a few more; He went over MT's head and talked to Rooney - He admitted rape by paying off the woman in Nevada - Rooney got rid of Reid and Holmes for unbecomming actions that were not to Steeler's liking, Ben should leave not stay, if he does then Rooney is a hypocrite - Steelers could use the cap room.
