There may be roll-over of unused 2018 cap-space that hasn't been accounted for by the sites. I don't know this for certain, but it's a plausible explanation.

Has a great rb. A very good wr, and a very good OL. Brown could ve the final piece for them. They have enough contracts to worry about getting done, other than AB who undoubtedly will want a restructuring after this season. Dak Zeke Cooper Lawrence I'm sure I'm missing 1 or 2? It is a Jerry Jones type move just unlikely IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any interest question (without us treading too much back into the legal sphere - though this is much more civil, so if anyone has any practical experience there, it could be relevant to share), I don't think his exes would have a leg to stand on so long as he remains current on his child support payments, but I wonder if there would be a case if he were to hold out and end up forfeiting paychecks due to that, wherein it could be argued that he's not doing right by his kids? I doubt it, but just food for thought or to chew on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but if his (liquid) assets, I believe, can be seized if he's delinquent on support payments and has no wages to garnish because he's not willing to work. And that's the sort of thing that sure as hell could make him more willing to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a player sit (although paying him this time), and get nothing in return? I don't think the Steelers would have to pay AB a cent if he wasn't playing by choice. I risk it unless it's an offer that actually moves the needle. We're talking an all time great WR here. I'd rather have 10 more months to try to hash things out, on the 5% chance it actually works, than trade him for a mid round pick, personally. He's a sunken cost regardless, if dead money wasn't at play then yes I would agree you get whatever you can for him and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id like to get more, but Ill take a top 50 pick. Anything less than that, and Id rather we just keep him and deactivate him....perhaps suspend him for conduct detrimental to the team. Dude is going full TO at this point.....the fact that he is dumb enough to take advice from Team Obliterator tells you alot about AB's intelligence. This whole situation saddens me, as Ive always been a huge AB fan, but at a certain point you have to give up on a player when you know they are a lost cause.
