Broncos got 2 firsts and a 3rd, + a starter quality quarterback for an average at best quarterback in Cutler. Ben is a 2 time SB winning QB. Yeah he carries a lot of baggage, but Oakland/Bills are in desperate need of a QB.
all those teams make sense.

Ahh..... I really really Doubt Ben is going anywhere. The steelers would be dumb to move him for anything less than a top 5 pick to ensure that they get Clausen. Seriously who would be their QB if they traded him??? Not gonna happen.

Your point is true about who would replace Ben.... but I've never read a Schefter tweet that didn't come true, or at least have credible possibility.

It's fairly reliable info.

Nobody will give up a first rd, much less a top ten, for somebody that won't play the first 4-6 games.

Oh yes they would. Ask yourself this, if Ben became availabe on the 4th-6th week of the season, would a team trade a top 10 pick in the draft the following year for him? Hell yeah, someone would pull the trigger on that in a heart beat.

His baggage causes some issues but IF the Steelers are shopping him, someone will jump on it before the draft.

One thing that I really like about Ben is something that just can't be taught on the football field or the film room. His rape to superbowl win ratio. Two rapes Two rings. The guy is amazing.

So he should just rape another girl... except not get caught Because........

If 2rapes= 2rings

Then rapes=rings

So 3rapes=3rings

So one more rape and he can win another superbowl!!!!!

I hope he goes to oakland. no better way to say "f**k you" than shipping you off to al davis and Co.

He has a strong arm, Al Davis LOVES that poo.

Wow... I think if that happens he will really start being remorseful for his alleged actions!

Nothing says punishment like being Exiled to Al Davis Island

      The NFL eats giant bad contracts all the time. I looked and the 3rd starts at 6.7 at pick 67 and 6.1 at pick 96. With the way the NFL cap keeps going up and how they all work the cap it really shouldn't be an issue for any team that can get 1 year out of rookies.  Maybe it would cut down on teams taking giant leaps on guys they shouldn't? This would have got Hurney fired in 3 years lol

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.
