Steelersdepot.com is reporting that the Steelers traded a 7th round for Leftwich. That could mean the suspension is bigger than we thought, or maybe not, but with Batch Dixon and Ben and Leftwich, somebody is not making the team.

Steelers swap a 7th round pick for QB Byron Leftwich
ESPN Adam Schefter reports
Steelers depot is also reporting that his salary will be roughly 2 million. That is a lot for us to pay for just a little competition at QB. Something is happening, either longer suspension or something else, like an injury to Dixon or Batch, but something else is up.
ya, Top Gun you should delete my two threads...it double posted for some reason
edit: merged haha
Just got the text from KDKA as well. This is an insurance move people, they already know what Ben's punishment is so they are preparing for some games without him. Considering your main starter would be Dixon and often lately injured Batch as your only backup you need someone else who can step in if Dixon fails or gets injured.
When Ben returns from the apparent suspension, either Lefty or Batch will be released.
Don't anybody turn this into another Ben thread or so help me![]()
If there is an odd man out its Batch...they arent going to get rid of Dennis Dixon, they wont cut Leftwich who they just traded for and Ben wont be traded...they may just want 3 QBs on the roster during Ben's suspension...
