Truly a great dude that some how still keeps positive despite all these tragedies. Jesus. He really is a great dude, and it just sucks that he has had to endure what he has the last two years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say it's so sad during the season people where @ him about him being gone with mean tweets. People really need to take aside football and a person's personal life because none of know what's going on in the players life outside of football. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ataal Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I'm about as anti-having-kids as they come, but I feel for the guy. That's heartbreaking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissooner49er Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Having 5 boys of my own, I get the desire to have your own children...but after losing 3, it might be a good idea to look at adoption. Not trying to judge, just suggest. Sigh. There isn't much worse than losing a child, I am sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if that's the case here, but when it gets to that point, just accept that it's the hand life dealt you. As you said, adoption is a great alternative. You get a healthy kid without risking your own health, and you instantly give that child a better life. I can't begin to understand how it feels. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NcFinest9erFan Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Not sure If you find follow him but he seems to be right more often than not so FWIW his take on brown and SF. The initially tweet was someone asked him who he thought was a good fit for brown and he said us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are forced to give him a new deal (and we should be in contact with him before we complete any trade), then his contract isn't as friendly and it may lower the required compensation for him. Obviously if we don't give him a new deal, it's just a great contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously couldn't be completed until the new year, but the Steelers aren't going to want to pay him that roster bonus if he's not a part of the team plans moving forward. I think the deal for Brown will be done by the time the new league year starts in march. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fureys49ers Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Doesn't his deal have another 3 years on it at a relatively low annual? Why wouldn't we just let him play it out? I don't believe this disagreement with the Steelers was anything contract related no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you put that past him based on what he has shown? Teams have to be wary that he's going to demand more money. He's underpaid on a salary basis with no guarantees left. Plus, if it will lower the required compensation to acquire him, I'd actually prefer that lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appease the man I guess, pay him while we have it over the next couple years while the team is still young and on rookie contracts and then reassess in a couple years when Buckner and...... well that's all we really have to worry about resigning right now haha..... needs his new contract.

I'd be surprised if Buck doesn't get his contract this off season. I know there has already been a lot of talk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
