Official what we get for AB thread

Just read they haven’t even been contacted by anyone yet about brown. Like I said they won’t sniff a 1’st rounder

They weren't going to pursue anything until Rooney met with them and Colbert flat out said they expect serious suitors only, meaning quality compensation.

I remember when I suggest Bryant should be traded. Some here laughed, then once it happened the rest of the board helped push the door shut on him as he was exiting.

how do you pat yourself on the back with your head so far up your ***? that's a serious degree of flexibility.

And that’s why they have no active trade discussions going on. They’re not getting a 1’for him

Probably after his agent told him to quit acting like a knucklehead. It's not like he accidentally liked that tweet.

Oh...you know Rosenhaus has taken over his posting privileges. After watching his Podcast, he's doing everything he can to make both sides happy. He has a good relationship with KC and Omar. He definitely doesn't want to burn any bridges with the club for player representation now and in the future. Unlike Baskari, Bell's agent.

He took it over for the picture with ARII unless you really believe Brown composed that message himself.

Oh I think Drew took over everything after the Instagram Live post. He see's the train ending on the tracks. I wouldn't be surprised if after a trade is commenced and contract redone on a new team, he drops him. Remember AB's new BFF is TO...who sued Rosenhaus and his brother back in 2013. Don't know if they settled.
 
Any new team should require Brown to produce for a year before renegotiating his contract.

He's too much of a headcase. Probably turning owners away
 
If the Steelers trade Brown to a contending team in either conference and fail to get AT LEAST a 1st round pick I will lose my mind. At some point they have to think to themselves, we are not going to set a precedent that you can ***** and moan and get moved to a SB calibre team and we get a 3rd round pick in return. That's ******* bullshit. Trade his sorry *** to Buffalo for their 2nd rounder and be done with it. Can you imagine the melt down there would be from AB in a place like Buffalo? Just do it Colbert. Please.

A 3rd round pick for a contender is not much better than letting him leave via FA and getting a comp. pick. The Steeler should send his stupid *** to a non-contending team without a real QB. That does two things. First it shows they aren't playing and 2nd it allows them to get a higher pick even if it's later in the draft (Top of the 3rd as opposed to end of the 3rd).

I think they are shooting for a 1st, 2nd at worst.
 
Whoever scouted Brown was a freakin' savant...

Character concerns could limit his appeal...

As IronCity (I believe) mentioned earlier - Brown is under contract. He has a signed contract for 3 more years. That means after the upcoming season he may become a restricted FA and the year after that a UFA. He has absolutely no control over whether or not a team chooses to renegotiate his contract. The ONLY power he has is if he chooses to sit out and not be paid. (I sincerely doubt that is a realistic option for Brown as A, he needs the money and B he couldn't stand to not be "The Man".)

Any team that gets Brown is getting a STEAL because they get the contract without any signing bonus. It's easy cap accounting for them and honestly, for his production, the price tag isn't bad.

Any team that DOES take Brown and then voluntarily renegotiate his contract... well they're getting what they deserve.

Am
I missing something? AB is under contract for 3 more years. How will be become a restricted FA in 2 seasons and an URFA the following season?

When all the 31 other GMs are in Indy for the combine, that's when actual trade discussions will be likely to happen. Not arguing the possibility of a R1 or not, just saying this is when any offers are likely to transpire.
 
Green Bay really seems like the ideal fit. They have a new coach and two first round picks. They can get an impact rookie at No. 12 and Brown would be a bigger impact than anyone they get at No. 30. That could instantly put them in contention in the NFC North.

Given that no.30 is essentially a second rounder, they would still need to throw in a 3rd or 4th to make it a fair return for the Steelers.

trade brown to the bungles for William Jackson III and their 1st round pick

They won't do it because of not wanting to trade him in the division, but I actually like that trade.
 
I hope to trade Brown to the Cardinals, 49ers or Jets in exchange for their 1st round pick! Steelers then draft Josh Allen, and let Dupree walk, saving 9 million dollars. This solves two problems!

Allen looks like an impact defender to me. I think he's got a chance to be a star in the NFL.
 
For some reason I'd like to see both Mr. Big Checks and LeMEon both end up with the jets. Fluck'em both.
