Big Ben was never charged or arrested for anything. Im not going to get into a debate about that, but people bringing this up are just looking to stir ish.
You are right that bigger names are given more leeway to screw up. Not just with the Steelers, but every single team in every single sport.

Hope he learns from his mistakes. This one cost him his job. |
my guess is they do what they did with Ta'amu, give him one more chance on a cheaper minimum one year contract and being him into camp. They'll have to really earn their spots this year. |
They already gave Rainey a chance and he blew it by having another incident. They aren't going to bring him back and they shouldn't. |
what was the other incident? |
I'd guess he was referring to the stalking thing in college?

Wow, what is going on... |
This is getting befuddling...

Guess it's back to the 'Burgh, since his situation was cleared?

I haven't followed too closely.
If this happens do the Steelers owe him an apology, or is it just part of the business?
