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

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.

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%.

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.

      Experience with Electric Vehicles?

      couple more things re: extreme hots and colds and the EV use tax. In the winter months, I can confirm that the range isn't as far, but it has never given me range anxiety except the first time I made a trip to Myrtle Beach and wasn't accounting for it. I just had to detour and use a Supercharger for 5 min and the rest of the trip was no issue. Summer months have never been an issue at all.  NC has a $140.25 EV Registration fee every year, which amounts to the gas/use tax for ICE.

      Just seeing this thread, and after browsing, I figured I would drop in and add my 2 cents. I hope this answers some of the questions or misconceptions that I have noticed.   I have owned a 2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus since Dec 2020, and love it. Absolute best car I have ever personally owned.  Current daily driver of 100 miles round trip to work and back.  Level 2 Charger at home in Garage.   The battery in my car was still designed to charge to ~80% for daily usage, only going above for trips etc preferably. The current batteries they recommend to charge to 100%.   1st year was in an apartment, 40 miles round trip at that point. Would highly depend on public level 2 charger at the library near me, and would also use 110v at work occasionally on weekends. Supercharger for travel. It wasn’t the most optimal, but I made it work. No maintenance in this year outside of tire rotations.   Years 2+, I am now driving 100 miles round trip to work. Level 2 charger in my garage.  I get home from work at ~25% charge, and charge back to my daily 80% in ~3.5hrs. On 110v, you can expect that will be over 24hrs. So for daily driver usage you will want a level 2 charger. For piddling around town, 110v will probably be fine. I had a part fail that was covered under warranty, and tire replacement/rotations for maintenance.     Tires: I have 99k+ miles on my car currently. I will put my 2nd set of tires on it at ~110k.   When I have had people ask me how I like my car, I always show them these 2 pages from the Tesla app. The numbers there are based on what I pay for kWh ($0.11) vs est cost of gas in NC at $3.93 per gallon. People who are concerned about the higher cost vs ICE probably don’t figure in the gas savings, or time/cost getting oil changes etc.  My car payment isn’t that much higher than any other car I’ve owned (shrug).   I know this is personal, and I don’t like the guy either, but I would not let Musk keep me from owning the brand. Thats like Henry Ford keeping you from owning Ford for, well….   Tesla currently have the best charging infrastructure for travel. Longest trip I have made is to Williamsburg VA from Triangle region. No issues getting there, no range anxiety etc. Sure stops can take longer for charging etc, but they are mostly setup at restaurants, gas stations etc for breaks, but ideally you’re not charging back to full at a stop. The best way to travel is to charge enough for you to get to the next stop. It’s faster at the batteries get juice faster when they are lower.  I have never seen another brand using Tesla superchargers tho I have heard it’s coming. But I have seen assholes pull their boats horizontally in charging stations 😉   If you are curious about how an EV would play into travel, check out https://abetterrouteplanner.com . Put in any EV you want, it will show you the path, time and time per charge etc. Great tool.
