Antonio Brown

[Arialgg]

I’m shook.

 

[Clonamery]

His behavior was weird, but all he did was skip some practices, get into an argument with his GM, and some other petulant behavior. I think it looks obvious now he was unhappy with the Raiders and wanted out. Not professional, but nothing to get worked up about either.

He's no Tyreek Hill.

The butterfly effect of Adam Humphries choosing Marcus Mariota over Tom Brady

He was scared of TB and BB.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Why would Rosenhaus willingly give up that much money ? Or Brown for this matter.

I understand the human brain loving to create connections out of individual data points but there are way too many random variables here to say that this was a plan. But in the end it doesnt matter at this point really. He is here now so lets enjoy what might be the most stacked team BB and Brady ever had on both sides of the ball.

Brown is better off long term with another team than the Raiders. Rosenhaus will get AB a better deal next year.

 

[RobertWeathers]

I think they have a good relationship. Rosenhaus understands BB. Easy to work things out quickly.

There have been a few players who were rep'd by Drew (Gronk, Stallworth) that had good experiences here.

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

I still can’t believe they have the best WR this decade motivated on a 1 year deal.

Theory? This is the worst kept secret ever

 

[Zuma]

I feel like nothing makes sense right now. I hope tomorrow is different.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

just thinking about the sets Mcdaniels can run....imagine Antonio Brown on one side, Josh gordon on the other, Edelman in the slot and both Michel/White in the backfield. what do teams do?

They watch like the rest of us...

 

[Arialgg]

Not a fan of this...hope I'm wrong... but if he slipped in a cryo chamber and broke his **** before next week I wouldn't be upset.

Well, we don’t really need his ****...as long as he can run & catch...

 

[JayNM]

I just can't laugh for real

I thought Deflate gate was a joke. I thought that common-sense would prevail then

I won't get tricked again

Most probably. But teams will be very careful with contract language and guarantees. Playing the insane doesn't come with just benefits.

That being said fortunately this will be a problem for another team.

 

[RIpats88]

wonder what Tom Brady is thinking right now, im sure he has reached out to AB. Bill has given him one of his best receiver cores in years.

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

Except for o-line. Depth iffy

 

[slam]

The Pats trying to acquire him in May wasn’t enough of a clue?

Brown is 31 years old. How much long term does he have? Unless he is a model player and gets 1,300-1,500 yards this year, he is going to lose money. And he has to fight for balls with Edelman for balls from Brady where he would have been THE MAN that Carr threw to.

 

[Bill Lee]

The Ringer's article on AB to the Pats talks about its impact on the Squeelers:

The Pittsburgh Steelers:

In the words of Stephen A. Smith, this move is an unmitigated catastrophe. The team had the chance to vanquish the Pats on Sunday Night Football and prove they are better off without Le’Veon Bell and Brown as a fifth of the country watches. Now Brown will be on the other sideline, and while he will not play, he will be in their nightmares the rest of the season. It’s akin to the serial killer in a slasher movie waking up after you fire all of your bullets into his chest.

Julian Edelman
Antonio Brown
Josh Gordon
N'Keal Harry
D. Thomas

F*cking Madden sh*t lol

 

[lurker1965]

I'm not sure how I feel but I am giddy this will piss off Steeler fans.

 

[Todd Bradley]

LMAO everyone and their mother predicted Brown to the Pats....and now that the shock has set in, they're all claiming "colusion".

NFL fans are legit the dumbest people.

Marshon Lattimore. Barely had a chance
