Love the player. Hate the cap number. Good WR's are just too available for a quarter of that sum. That being said, I'd do $10MM for AB, but that isn't happening in any reality I can think of.
You’re not going to get any better than this for a player of Brown’s talent. His salary is pretty reasonable if traded before the 5th day of the league year on 3-17 (as Miguel notes) when his roster bonus is due.Brown's salaries:
2019 (age 31) .. $12.625M
2020 (age 32) .. $11.300M
2021 (age 33) .. $12.500M
TOTAL = $36.425M .. $12.14 AAV
Actually you aren't off on his cap. $12mm is pretty reasonable, though it's hard for me to fathom that I just said that. . I guess everything is relative these days of $190MM salary caps.You’re not going to get any better than this for a player of Brown’s talent.

That said, no way that PIT would entertain any thoughts of trading him to NE.
I have a feeling that the Steelers will have their fair share of suitors willing to part with something like a first + third.Actually you aren't off on his cap. $12mm is pretty reasonable, though it's hard for me to fathom that I just said that. .

Now all we have to do is how to create a reality where the Steelers would trade him here. Where he would WANT to come here, and where BB would be willing to not only be willing to pay a WR that much of his cap PLUS give up draft picks as well. AND where one of those teams with a $100 in cap space and the need to make a splash with their fans wouldn't out bid us.
I doubt anyone will get him, but he's a WR and unfortunately most fans think their team is just a WR away from a Superbowl.
I think highISH would be more likely, say one of the 3 third rounders or the last 2nd. The need to retool the DL or get that speed LB we so desperately need (assuming Obi isn't used there) We need our top 2 picks for this purpose. FA imo, is the better place to immediately upgrade that area. Not with a star, but a quality B FA type.I have a feeling that the Steelers will have their fair share of suitors willing to part with something like a first + third.
I think we’ll see a high round pick drafted at WR this year, as well as the usual type of guys brought in for TC spots, but boy would it be nice to have a game changer like Brown. Of course, who knows how he’d affect team chemistry.
He could cause similar issues in a locker room known for weeding those character concerns out quickly.Fact is he's better than any wideout on this team. Question is why wouldn't you want him.

It's like, banging a really high end escort w/o a condom. You know it's a bad choice, you know you'll regret it but maaaaan in the moment it sure is fun.
I've heard. From friends. Friends I pray for. You don't know them, they're from another message board. In Canada.
And they’re generally gone fairly quickly.How long have you been a pats fan? How many that come in do not by in to the Patriot way? Come on bruh
