AlNFL19 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 He's become a distraction and I don't think he's going to be worth it. Smith-Schuster out-produced him in receptions and yards, and he makes $656K to Brown's $16M. Brown was also the target of 11 interceptions - getting rid of him could help Roethlisberger limit the turnovers and throw the ball away instead of tossing it up too much. Getting rid of that albatross contract will be hard, but I'd do it if I were the Steelers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I fear he’ll want to renegotiate ASAP. Also, LOL what E Sanders said about Ben. Zero doubt in my mind that it’s Ben with the Ego. AB is a diva zero doubt, but Ben is that creep.

Soko Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I don’t think he’s a viable trade target with that contract. It’d cost the Steelers too much money to get rid of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't be a factor if they want to deal him and it sounds like they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a team with only ~$12M in cap space, why would you pay one of the best players in the league +$20M to not play for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't underwater on the deal, if they trade him before the roster bonus kicks in. Once that does, they can wait until June and spread it. The dead money isn't an issue They've already paid him the money that's dead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why carry a massive cap charge for an elite player that doesn’t play for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But AB is severely underpaid. But a few factors matter. Is he about the money or team success? The fact that he didn't play really blows my mind. How much would he want? More than Julio-Odell? Which he deserves. Can he handle another WR get some shine? He took plenty of jabs towards Juju this year. Could he beat the double moving forward? He is aging.

Apparition Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 They should get rid of Mike Tomlin and Ben Roethlisberger first tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xmad Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 get rid of him - ravens side of me. Sit this man down, talk it out and get through it because you need this man if you want a title - the rational fan in me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFlaccoSeagulls Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 You've already got JuJu and a long history of being able to draft and develop WR's. Just get rid of him before his cancer infects your whole team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
