Antonio Brown Mega-Thread

[Observer]

Yes, turn him into Randy Moss part 3 and piss everyone off. Won’t be the first Steeler discard we take to the Super Bowl.

Why do people think Pitt would trade him to us?
He's San Fran Philly or Was bound

No thanks.

No need for Facebook live drama.

You think they'd deal him to us?
I honestly can't see it.

 

[farn]

No thanks.

We are the last team in the league that the Steelers would consider trading him to.

Maybe Baltimore

not really, no.

Giving up a first would not be "taking a flier"

 

[oldrover]

Throw a flier on A. Brown or no?

Gentlemen, it's intervention time...

Maybe Baltimore

I heard a rumor that the three team they don’t want to ship him off to are us, Baltimore, and Cleveland.

That means they’d rather ship off to division rival Cincinnati than ship him off here.

It is irrelevant as A) They won;t trade to us and B) Some mug of a team is gong to seriously overpay for a 31 year old WR with an attitude problem.

Lol a flier? I don’t think the Steelers are going to hand him over for peanuts.

 

[tasmlab]

Besides losing picks, the monster cap hit, him not showing up or following instructions, the Steelers not trading him to the Pats, being a culture miss-match, and his narcissism... I don't really see a downside.

 

[Simpelton]

No. I can't imagine AB being a good fit for the way this team tries to do things.

You bring in a guy like AB when you need to turn a team on its head, because that's exactly what he does. But we don't need to reinvent the team, just add a bit of talent in key areas. It's not the right answer.

Would much rather have Thomas Davis tbh. One of the best coverage LB's in the history of the league & can still play. Vg, well rounded player. LK got the pub but real fans know Davis was just as good & at times better, esp in coverage. Easily one of the more underappreciated players over the last few years. Tough as hell. Came back from multiple ACL. Dude is perfect for depth, mentoring & again can still make an impact.

Extending this hypothetical.

Gronk and Brown basically have the same cap hit, although the Patriots would have to eat about $2M.

Would you rather trade a 1st rounder and cut Gronk for Brown or keep Gronk?

Rob Gronkowski
