A good player will always find a team. Regardless of how ... they are.

Trade him or watch him retire a 3rd and a 5th is better than nothing

They also have to swallow $21 million in dead cap.

[Moo Daeng]

That's less than the 22+ cap hit for this season.

How is it they are considered a model to follow?

its so weird how they put the rapist on a pedestal.  how the rapist gets to call out everybody he wants.  what a choice.

[Seoul Train]

cool for him.

Predict how many games before we see AB screaming at Carr on the sidelines.

All trades had to be contingent on Brown getting a completely new deal making him the highest paid WR annually. Few teams have the space want to make that kind of commitment on a 31 year old disgruntled receiver. The trade value was low because Steelers had zero leverage and very few buyers that could meet Brown's demands. I'm glad he's not in the NFC at least. 

I tried to tell the AB haters in the other thread. AB had plenty of leverage, and it didn't matter if the Steelers were the mighty Steelers. At the end of the day, they were between a rock and a hard place. They probably should have just acquiesced earlier, because as time went on his trade value decreased precipitously.

They will get that comp pick though. 

They effectively got their comp pic(s)! Great value!

I think Gruden is going to find a way to dump him.

Comp pick for what? This wasn’t a free agent leaving. This was a trade to which the Steelers agreed. Why would they get a comp pick?

Just a reminder that Hurney got us a 3rd and a 7th for KB...

And yes I'm well aware that Browns contract, attitude and age diminished the return value. Anyone who thought Pittsburgh was getting a 1st is crazy.

[Growl]

lol at getting yourself shipped off to Oakland. It seems fairly obvious that Brown thought early in the process that he was going tohave a line of the league's best teams to choose from. But good teams don't typically deal with circus acts like this. Now he has to see it through and act like he's jacked.

This dude is a is a 1-4 start away from a sideline meltdown over the mistake he made.

[RumHam]

Good now can we stfu about him? Hes tearing his acl in the preseason anyways. Its called karma.

[hepcat]

Seeing it was just a 3rd and 5th to get Brown is a bit of a bummer, knowing Hurney might have been able to Olsen him from the Steelers 

But on the flip side dude is a head case and probably going to wither away in Oakland for a couple seasons before he has a late career resurgence with 45 year old Tom Brady
