Of course it is, and Rosenhaus just rolled out the T.O. scorched-earth plan that he successfully used before The 21 million dollar question is whether or not you can put THAT genie back in the bottle.

iknowcool Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Raiders trading Cooper and Mack only to trade for AB would probably be the dumbest thing I have ever seen. And I love AB, but where’s the logic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the 53rd kid. lol Not as people but for what they’ve had to deal with. We’ve seen WR’s tear apart teams before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezy Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 no way the Raiders should be involved in these talks, we just traded a top 3 defensive player for cap reasons, no reason to bring in a 31 year old diva WR, no matter how good he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This WR class is stacked all the way to the Mid 3rd and we are trying to get younger. However, the logic is AB is the best WR in the league and miles better than Amari Cooper.

ACO Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I am so over AB right now. Good luck to whichever team he goes to. He just a headache and not worth it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he's an even bigger Idiot then I thought. ZERO CHANCE, ZERO he is released. They will ship him to Purgatory, worst possible team in the NFL for a box of Juicy Fruits before he is ever released outright. Especially if it stops him from going where he wants!!!

And I love AB, but where’s the logic? If we get him for 35? It wouldn't be such a bad trade in a vacuum. Really depends on how fast Gruden and Mayock think they can turn it around. I agree for AB it would be a bad spot, but it's never a bad idea to get a game changing receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big difference (granted AB does want a new deal more than FDR) Trading a third for AB is basically trading up from the 3rd to 1st and getting a better player in return who has 2 more years of team control than the guy you are sending out. It makes a lot of sense when you look at it from that standpoint Im still disappointed the niners havent even made a phone call. Would be a great fit here. He would actually be a good fit on the raiders too, Carr doesnt like getting hit and wants to get the ball out quickly. To do that you need a guy who can get open fast.

The way this forum has cooled on Brown('s "antics")is a joke. I can say the same for Bell. I love watching him play. We have arguably the worst WR corps in the league. Why would we not want arguably the best receiver in the league at a position/playing style that ages extremely well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
43M Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Anyone thinking the Steelers are trading Brown for a 3rd are delusional....at least not this year. Steelers will keep him and let him sit out before they trade him for a pathetic return...and yes, a 3rd rounder, even early 3rd, is a joke. Guarantee they dont trade him for less than a top 50 pick. If they dont get that offer, he will probably remain a Steeler in 2019. The Steelers have more leverage than AB. He is holding none of the cards, and if he becomes more of an idiot, the Steelers can suspend him for conduct detrimental to the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's absolutely no way he gets traded for even an early 3rd. It's not fair compensation and Colbert isn't an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is holding none of the cards, and if he becomes more of an idiot, the Steelers can suspend him for conduct detrimental to the team. The problem becomes when he does show up to camp/practice and becomes a distraction by not giving full effort, running his mouth etc. Suspending him without pay is gonna require some epic jackassery on his part. It wouldn’t be hard for him to be a complete nuisance and still not do enough to get a suspension past the NFLPA. In that case you’re paying him a ton and he’s disrupting the team. At this point both parties should move on. I’d be surprised if the Steelers got a first due to his age, but he’s a stud so it’s certainly possible. I’d also be surprised if some team isn’t willing to part with a second for 3 years of AB at a relatively decent cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
