517

ESPN is reporting that Roethlisberger will be suspended 4-6 games. According to ESPN, the suspension "will contain conditions that will allow it to be reduced based on Roethlisberger's behavior and compliance with clinical evaluators." Another interesting tidbit, they claim Steelers were expecting 8 games. NOTE: Tip of the hat to SteeladyinVA and WolfpackSteelersFan for reporting this in fanshots and fanposts. UPDATE: From nlevine34 in the comments, Adam Schefter is reporting that the Steelers have begun contacting teams to trade Roethlisberger for a top 10 pick. Things just got more interesting.
