Antonio Brown Mega-Thread

[Uptown]

At his price, it’s something like 21 million per.
I don’t want him at any price and wouldn’t trade more than a fifth round pick for him. Then he’s off to cleaveland

He would be a lethal force on the Pats

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

There is no way the Steelers trade Brown to the Pats, plain and simple, its not happening!

More likely than not they will find a NFC West team to send him to.

It won't be 21m, he's a lot cheaper than people expect to be.

In a league full of head-case, me-first WRs, he seems to be the most head-casiest, me-firstiest, so I would say no.

you nailed it. I would go one further, and say your point is why Route 1 can't draft WRs. I am willing to bet that BB eliminates half of them because of your point.

Do you realize where I’ve been Penelope? They beat me up, stole my clothes...THOSE MEN WANTED TO HAVE SEX WITH ME!!!

That was a stone cold groove my man!

Wasn't there a running back we picked up a few years back from the Steelers who left a game before it was over?

But he had already drank the Foxboro Koolaid and was welcomed back....

Rumblings of Jimmy G to AB.

His cap hit is 22.5 million if they keep him and 21.5 million if they release or trade him. For the 1M difference he's a Steeler next year.

3) Ray Lewis killed a guy

(probably 2)

 

[denverpatsfan]

Once the Pats put up 10 points against the Ravens at home you all are gonna wish AB could be a Patriot. Who the heck creates that kind of separation on this team? Hint nobody.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

His Cap Hit is reasonable for a player of his quality...

Would i want him here? Yes

Do i think he will end up here?

Highly Doubtful

At these #s id take him in a heart beat. Hes shown zero signs of slowing down so 3 productive years is likely. His durability despite the workload hes had is impressive. people have criticized his attitude and i wont dispute that risk but everyone seems to admire his work ethic. Wr who can create seperation is a need for us and we are bad at drafting wrs.

Pitt will never trade him to us though

 

[WinstonSmith]

No, too much of a Diva...unless Bill somehow lands him, then yes...with an I told ya so option if it doesn't work out.

Brown's salaries:

2019 (age 31) .. $12.625M
2020 (age 32) .. $11.300M
2021 (age 33) .. $12.500M

TOTAL = $36.425M .. $12.14 AAV

Still quite a bit for his age. And we weren’t willing to go to that price with a 25 yr old cooks.

As with Trey Flowers, I haven't looked at any other teams roster-versus-cap situations in detail. However, just based on raw cap space:

Colts
Jets
Bills
Browns
Raiders
Texans

If the Steelers don't want to trade him in the AFC, then:

Niners
Cards
Seahawks
Packers (maybe)

Below that, and you have to start looking closely at cap space versus players under contract. For example, the Skins have only about $23M in cap space, but they have 57 players under contract for 2019 already. OTOH, the Lions have about $34M in cap space, but only 45 players under contract.

 

[TheFlyingWedge]

Even if the Patriots were to make a good offer, the Steelers would probably not want him to land in New England.

I could see them making a deal with the Raiders.
