Their two best players couldn't wait to be gone.

One because they low-balled him and made it clear they were going to run him into the ground before they had to pay him.

The other, well...he's fucking nuts. He was already a headache and would've continued to be a headache. But he's a top-tier WR and he could run under anything Roethlisberger threw.

They decided to ride with the guy who's been threatening to retire every off-season.

You get what you pay for, and they paid for a very-soon-to-be broken down QB.
