This is logic and on target but some here don't get the fact AB is not ever going to come here.

You mean like McCoy? Those other teams sure out bid us and we just didn't have the cash.

I'm not convinced we'd be interested in him even if we did have the space.

But we don't, and clearing space for the kind of money he's expected to be looking for would likely take something just short of a miracle.

Gruden and the Raiders were ready to bend over backwards to please him and he still acted up.

I get that but maybe he just didn't like the Raiders. I mean if he was all about the money he would have collected a ton from them. Now I can't see a team signing him for more than a prove it deal at this point. I mean to say his stock has fallen would be a understatement.

How much do you really think he can get at this point. To say he's radioactive is not a understatement. I mean the raiders threw tons of cash at him. That didn't work. He definitely has a big personality but Tepper would know if he is worth it.

He had to restructure his old deal. 

No he didn't. He signed a new deal when he was traded to the Raiders. He WAS set to get 38.9M from the Steelers before the trade, but ripped and replaced that for a 3 year/54M deal from the Raiders. 

So, why did he do it? He could have told the Steelers to release him and not have gone through all of this drama, resulting in the devaluation of his brand.

I'm not convinced that Brown is willing to sign a "prove it" deal.

Hmmm why would the Steelers trade him and not just released him. Something to ponder.

You may be correct but what team gives him a contract after the raiders just ate that much money?

Like I said in the other thread. A 20-21 Mil one year high target contract. Like certain teams can offer. He probably will do it. 

Also like you said we won’t see this until Tuesday, because A) he can’t play tomorrow.

B) He’d have to sign with Denver or Oakland to play Monday night to get the 100% guaranteed money. So he can only get 25% guaranteed money. If he acts up the next team is only on the hook for 25%.

In order to get something back rather than nothing.

That one's not too complicated.

They cut him it's 20M gone.

They trade him it's 20M gone, but you get a 3rd and 5th.

Very unlike the Steelers to give him that contract, but they did, and it bit them hard.  The owners are setting a precedent of paying these guys while they still have years left on their deals.  Great for the player, bad for the cap.

Do you really offer a guy 20 mill to demand a release a month later? I would say any deal he gets will be incentive laced with little upfront money.

He will quit before taking a deal like that
