Livewire Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Good freaking riddance. Once Brown sabotaged the Bills trade the writing was on the wall that the Steelers weren't going to get what they originally wanted. Now the headache is gone. They can now focus on free agency. He was an amazing talent here and supplied incredible plays. However, he clearly showed he could care less about the team. He just wants money and stats. Of course I wish they could have gotten more but I'm just glad this saga is finally over with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm now officially ready for a top-down, blow it all up rebuild. Colbert & Co. better strike gold this year because they haven't been making any friends lately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point i am with you in that I am glad he is gone. Cant wait to see carrs last season for the raiders as he melts under the ish storm brown will bring on him for not being the qb he needs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelers22 Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 It seemed like the right football move to deal him for whatever you could get for him. They couldn't have gone into the season with him on the team blasting off on social media every week--it would've been an absolute nightmare. With that being said, its a horrible look for the front office to not stand by their principles. I don't know if it will bite them in the future because the situation was so unique BUT Tomlin & Colbert look borderline incompetent lately between the Harrison situation, having Bell holdout and now this. It's also a horrible look for the league--this is the first time I've seen an NFL player completely control the trade situation (something that happens in the NBA all the time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you expect to get in return for Brown? There was a reason a bunch of teams were dropping out of the race for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting for people to start reaching to defend this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. Who knows? Had we waited until after FA or the draft....or even into training camp, teams would get more desperate and we couldve at least gotten more value that way. If we didnt....keep him. If he refuses to play, so be it.....he doesnt get paid. If he kept causing problems, they could suspend him. 1 minute ago, DR43 said: How would his stock have improved by sitting on the bench and becoming a year old? Who cares? We got next to nothing for him anyway. Id rather not get much for him and stand up to his antics than cave in like cowards because they are afraid of how much he might talk on social media. Colbert is a terrible GM. Time to face facts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
