He’s the hardest working man, I think, in football,” Gruden said. “Hardest working player I’ve ever seen practice, and I’ve seen Jerry Rice, I’ve seen a lot of good ones. But I put Antonio Brown at the top. And if there’s any young wideouts out there, I’d go watch him practice and you’ll see for yourself why he’s such a good player.” Just a little nugget to further the current narrative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabbs4u Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Gruden don't get fleeced into paying a Top 5 pick for AB, please! One of the other two 1st rd picks, ok? Dallas's for instance virtually replacing Cooper with AB? Sure. Not #4! Come on Mayock, have some stones and tell him No!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AT MOST...maybe they swap 4 for 20, and we get 34 overall on top of that....and I doubt that, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Jon Gruden 🤯, but I would hope not. Well if I'm a Raider Fan that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastercheddaar Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Steelers are asking too much for him. They let Bell sit out a year and now the sharks are circling. AB will sit out this season unless Pitt can trade him. All the other teams know this. Don't get greedy squeelers. Go Birds Mastercheddaar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Birds Mastercheddaar What does them letting Bell sit out last year have to do with anything regarding Brown? On top of that, you dont even know how much the Steelers are asking for. If Brown wants to sit out and forfeit his salary and his precious stats, let him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't actually believe or want to see this do you? He'd make last years Bell Debacle look like childs play. The AB 24/7 media circus/smitt show would be unreal. Something the Steelers simply cant allow to happen. Has to be traded, even for peanuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make the Steelers look terrible to trade him for peanuts, on top of setting a terrible precedent for the rest of the league, to show that all a malcontent player has to do to get his way his act like an idiot. Let the shiz show commence....Ill happily take that over trading him for scraps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuy82 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 10 hours ago, FourThreeMafia said: Okay, but lets look at a few facts.... 1) Bell played behind a very good OLine and had a great passing game supporting him. No denying he is good, but HOW good without those luxuries? 2) Bell hasnt played a meaningful down in over a year. Plus there are reports he ballooned up. He should be able to get back to playing shape, but its a bit worriesome. 3) Conner replaced Bell without missing a beat early in the year before he got hurt. 4) Bell's health history is concerning. No real major injuries, but he gets hurt at terrible times. Plus he has alot of mileage. 5) I seriously question Bell's commitment once he gets a ton of guaranteed money. All those things considered....and you can see why some people are really reluctant about paying him the kind of money he wants. I think Bell does deserve to get paid, but he wants huge guaranteed money and a bunch up front. Good luck with that. I didnt want us to pay Bell THAT much even before Bell held out. In Buffalo, our OL will not be near as bad, we going shopping this off season so I expect a turnaround via FA and draft I don't really get how on one hand he has a lot of mileage but on other hand he sat a year. I don't see how both can be justified as a potential problem? Lingering minor injuries is par for the course for a NFL RB, unless its ACL/Concussion problems im ok (not sure what injuries he's had) I understand you guys not wanting to pay that much because you guys are always pretty close to cap, we don't have that problem in Buffalo, at least not right now and I get your argument but I think Bell's issues are being blown out of proportion with a lot of it stemming from the holdout. I'm hearing he gained a lot of weight which does concern me a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BayRaider Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Packers should give pick 30 and a 4th. Get Rodgers a dominant weapon like when Brady had Moss. Rodgers/Brown would tear the league apart. Packers have 3 picks in the Top 44, they can afford one luxury spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...Bell's situation didn't affect the team neither, the team can deal with another circus. Tomlin has a great control on his locker room.
