Before everyone keeps crapping on the idea consider that there is speculation that perhaps a third rounder offer may land him with how he has poisoned the water. And our cost to have him would be roughly 12 million a year. The Steelers still have to pick up the guaranteed money. So looking back who went for 12 million as a receiver last off-season when WRs were getting a  premium. 

Honestly we integrated Reid into the mix with few problems. I think we could handle Brown. Cam won't be doing a Roethlisburger on him. The more I think about it, he could be the missing piece to having a top 5 offense this year if Cam is healthy. I am once again taking the contrarian approach but I am warming up to the idea.

As for a new contract just make it incentive based over his salary. He wants guaranteed money we want guaranteed production.  He actually isn't in a position to demand much.

IF (big if) we got Antonio Brown and Cams arm is 100%, we would have the #1 offense in the league.  Cam, Greg Olsen, Antonio Brown, DJ Moore, Curtis Samuel, CMC.....Jesus Christ!!!

So was Smitty. Not everyone can be JJ Watt

Not if he doesn't have time to throw the ball!

Hell, with the YAC potential of that group of players, you could just run screens, quick outs and slants all day and kill people.

For some reason we have never been good with running screens. Don't know why but we just struggle, so I'm not going to say that would work.

it was never the Steelers idea to begin with, it was Brown's.

Nah. DJ, Samuel, and Wright along with CMC and a healthy (hopefully) Olsen and a promising Thomas is what we should stick with. Let DJ and Samuel develop sand not take a back seat to Brown. If we’re going to spend money it needs to be on the OL and defense.

And as the holders of his contract, they have the power to tell him to shut up and play (something the Steelers have done many times in the past).

the fact that they are now willing to part with someone of his ability doesn't exactly say good things for him 

[Carl Spackler]

I say he goes to the Orlando Apollos.

Locker room cancers are a myth these are grown men. Brown isn't the reason the Steelers are falling apart.

They're also humans, and even "grown" humans don't always get along.

Plenty of us have dealt with a co-worker who was an absolute pain in the ass and who we hated having to work with. It's even worse when your performance or evaluation is in any way dependent on that person that you hate.

When teams dump good players, there's a reason.

i'm done overpaying for defensive lineman. Build that through the draft. Fresh legs and a cohesive unit. That's why our line peaked in 2015.
