and yet here you are, doubling down

you mean pittsburgh squandered their chance?

the steelers ran off two all pros this year and if you think that locker room situation has been resolved you're fooling yourself. roethlisberger will always, always throw his teammates under the bus. at worst this is a lateral move for brown because neither of those franchises have much of a chance going forward. this is antonio brown's job. he took a toxic work environment with $0 in guarantees going forward and turned it into a pay raise with $30 million in guarantees. he trashed his trade value to get what he wanted (and he completely fuged over the steelers in the process lol), he very likely ended the bills trade all on his own, and he's going to get paid $50 million to play in vegas in 2020. that's a huge win for all involved except the steelers who lost a hall of famer, kept $20 million in dead cap, and only gained a fugin 3rd and 5th round pick lol

in 3 seasons nobody will remember the state of the "Steelers locker room" as they change nothing and will continue to pile up playoff successes and they will remember how this was the moment Brown exited the prime of his career.

If Brown is content with that then the very reason no self respecting franchise made a run at him will be vindicated.

If you can’t realize Ben is the problem in Pitt at this point, you don’t want to. 

Imagine all of this going around a team with Cam as a QB. The transcript would be entirely different. 

Hmm I'm impressed you can say this with no bias. Even non-NFCS teams can't say this.

Yeah, man, I heard some of the stuff that he was saying on his radio show for the first time today, and I was like :omg:. Some things a QB just doesn't need to say publicly, whether it's true or not. Breaking down little plays, like he is just the epitome of perfection and it's the receivers' fault...there's no need for that. You can discuss things more democratically and constructively in the video room. It's a douche move from a teammate.

he had zero guaranteed dollars going forward and the steelers FO threw their support behind shitty leader and shitty person ben roethlisberger. when roethlisberger fugs up he attacks his teammates through the media. he's simply not good enough to do that and keep the respect of the locker room. brown is a better player and i can see why he would want out in that situation.

He had zero guaranteed because it was already paid to him up front as a signing bonus.

All reports mention he lived above the rules in Pittsburgh. He was liked but didnt feel the need to abide by what was expected of others . Its not mystery why they got tired of his antics.

The Raiders are just confusing to me.    They don't want to pay Mack, one of the best defensive players in the league.    They trade Cooper, who then helped save the Cowboys' season.      You hear rumors that Gruden isn't sold on Carr and probably doesn't see him as long term QB.    So the Cooper and Mack thing makes sense if they are rebuilding, kind of.     Now, they trade for a 31 year old WR, the best in the league yes, but are they rebuilding or what lol?    Like others stated, Gruden probably looking to replace Carr but who even knows at this point.      Anyway, I love seeing the Steelers getting fleeced.

I don’t understand, a rapist continually acts like an ass and calls out his own players, which isn’t acting like a leader. Meanwhile, AB wants away from the organization that puts Big Ben on a pedestal and at the same time he wants more money, because who doesn’t want to better their life? Yet ppl are hating on AB, for what?

I mean it's not like the guy has worked his ass off to the point where he's arguably already a lock HoFer. Brown has been a great receiver and his teammates have liked him a whole helluva lot more than Roethlisberger who had been reported to have bad behavior , and yet Briwn has haters the Huddle-over. Hmmm, I wonder what that's about...

:thinking:

    • SI https://www.si.com/nfl/2025-nfl-draft-grades-analysis-for-every-team#_s4q414nom Grade: A- Analysis: The Panthers’ gamble to neglect the defense in the first round paid off, with the team selecting talented edge rushers Scourton and Umanmielen. But their prize from this draft class is the 6' 4", 213-pound McMillan, who will make life easier for Bryce Young because of his massive catch radius. McMillan got dinged a bit in the lead-up to the draft due to a few concerns with his work ethic, but he has the skill set to be the best wideout from this class when it’s all said and done. It’s tough to gauge where the Panthers are in their rebuild, but they’re finally giving Young a fair shake to succeed. —GM PFF https://www.pff.com/news/draft-grades-for-all-32-teams-2025-nfl-draft#car A+ 1 (8): WR Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona McMillan — The Panthers continue to build around Bryce Young, who led the NFL in big-time throws from Week 8 through the end of the regular season. Now, he has another downfield target. McMillan has been one of the most productive receivers in college football over the past two seasons, ranking in the 85th percentile or better among qualifying NCAA wideouts in receiving grade versus single coverage, yards per route run and contested-catch rate. 2 (51): ED Nic Scourton, Texas A&M Scourton — The Panthers trade up the board for an opportunity to add much-needed firepower on the defensive side of the ball. Scourton, the 29th-ranked player on the PFF Big Board, has an alluring combination of size and pass-rush moves, as well as the versatility to play in 3-4 or 4-3 fronts. Over the past two seasons, his 91.7 PFF pass-rush grade against true pass sets charted in the 94th percentile. 3 (77): ED Princely Umanmielen, Ole Miss Umanmielen — The Panthers moved up to target some pass-rush help with the selection of Umanmielen. The Ole Miss product was the No. 50 overall player on the PFF Big Board, and his 91.1 PFF grade ranked sixth among players at the position in 2024. 4 (114): RB Trevor Etienne, Georgia Etienne — At 5-foot-9 and 205 pounds, Trevor Etienne, brother of Jaguars running back Travis Etienne, is stoutly built and it showed on tape, as he forced 30 missed tackles on 126 rushing attempts. Despite missing time throughout various points of the season, Etienne still managed to rush for nine touchdowns while putting the ball on the ground only once. With Chuba Hubbard’s emergence this past season, Etienne provides Carolina with a power back who can spell him in short-yardage situations. 4 (122): S Lathan Ransom, Ohio State Ransom — Carolina continues to address areas of need on their defense by selecting Ransom after already adding a couple of edge defenders in previous rounds. The Panthers ranked 31st last season in explosive pass percentage allowed at 17.6% overall and now add to their secondary. 5 (140): DI Cam'Ron Jackson, Florida Jackson — Ranked No. 130 on the PFF Big Board, Jackson is a massive presence who can control the point of attack against the run. He posted an 80.9 run-defense grade last season along with a 9.3% run-stop rate. 5 (163): TE Mitchell Evans, Notre Dame Evans — Evans dominated defenders with the ball in the air in 2024, posting an impressive 72.7% contested-catch rate. 6 (208): WR Jimmy Horn Jr., Colorado Horn — Horn earned a 65.1 receiving grade last season while averaging 11.9 yards per reception. NFL.COM https://www.nfl.com/news/2025-nfl-draft-final-snap-grades-for-all-32-teams B- McMillan could be a threat in the mold of Drake London, but Carolina might have been better served by drafting one of the top tight ends (Colston Loveland, Tyler Warren) or defensive players (Jalon Walker) at No. 8. The Panthers doubled up on pass rushers Scourton and Umanmielen on Day 2. They could have improved the secondary with one of those picks, though, and found another edge defender on Saturday. Carolina used the fourth-round pick it received from Dallas in the Jonathan Mingo trade to select Etienne. That decision stood out since the team rewarded Chuba Hubbard with an extension last year, signed Rico Dowdle in free agency and spent a top-50 pick on Jonathon Brooks, who is recovering from his second ACL tear in as many years, in 2024. Ransom's downhill play should get him on the field for the Panthers quickly, as will the size and surprising agility of run-stopper Jackson. I expect Evans to thrive early in his career in 12 personnel. CBS https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2025-nfl-draft-grades-for-every-team-giants-raiders-commanders-deliver-steelers-49ers-receive-poor-marks/amp/ I love the way general manager Dan Morgan approached this draft. Get Bryce Young a premier weapon first, then throw loads of resources at the defense. Scourton and Umanmielen have polished games and rocked in the SEC at defensive end.  Etienne is a young runner with Chuba Hubbard-like ability, and Ransom will provide stability at safety. Jackson blocks out the sun on the interior, and Evans is an overachieving tight end who could become a favorite security blanket for Young.  Grade: A-
    • The NFL average for running backs on the active roster is 3.6. Cleveland was the only teams to carry less than 3. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BB0RlET2BU3TiotTmk6hMWl-36d06VAaSLUsr4jS_hM/pubhtml
