Because we can simply say that we have him under contract, we tried to find a deal, he said he doesn't want to go anywhere, so that implies he wouldn't sign with anyone as a FA. Simply from a dead money/contract perspective keeping him would make sense anyway but I wonder if the relationship is too bad right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he refuses to play, can't the Steelers simply put him on the DNR/Retirement list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda say at that point 'so what'. If the Steelers try to work out multiple deals, and he refuses to show up at any of the places that they find a deal with, I think that simply telling him "too bad we tried, you are under contract" is a reasonable thing to say.

Brown needs to be careful; he's playing fast and loose like he is a free agent. There is definitely a good chance he stays on the Steelers after refusing to report to a couple teams.

Malfatron Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 They are saying the Bills, which is exciting. Finally some name recognition for that team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's funny was he was out on South Beach yesterday training with Terrell Edmunds, Jaylon Samuels, and 2 other young Steelers players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nagahide13 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I don't know whether he's refusing to report to any teams. I think that's all conjecture stemming from Ian Rap being bad at his job. I certainly wouldn't be surprised if he was, but Rap's the only head mentioning it and it's right after his blown AB to Buffalo scoop. I think he's just covering his butt. That being said, I actually wouldn't be at all surprised if AB ended up back in Pittsburgh when this is all said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills GM saying they were out Tuesday and that it was the last time they spoke to the Steelers.

EaglesPeteC Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 So let's review: Brown refuses to play for the Steelers Brown doesn't want to play for a crappy team Brown doesn't want to play for a team that isn't going to give him a bunch of guaranteed money I'm starting to think Brown isn't going to be playing for anyone......
