Plus he's got a bad attitude. Giving up a first-round pick for him is just asinine. I don’t know that it would take a 1 for sure but if you can get the best WR in the nfl for another 3-4 years it’s anything but asinine. We will almost certainly get less at #9 then would get out of Brown. I would have no issue with that trade but as I have said probably 3 times in this thread.. he’s difficult off the field which will be a non starter for the guys running our team.

Alphadawg7 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Wait!? What!? Now Steelers are open to trading him? How could this be? @dabills21 told me it’s impossible and he will bet anyone who suggests it could happen. I suggest dabills21 hit up the Steelers and make a big wager with them because apparently the Steelers aren’t internally aware that it’s impossible! I mean you could make a bunch of money off the absolute impossibility that he could ever be traded! Silly Steelers, so naive and ignorant to not even know it’s impososble for them to trade Brown. Lucky us, we got prophets here at TSW who know the future better than we know our realities to keep us ahead of the curve on all things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_In_NH Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I am surprised how many people want Brown on the Bills considering: 1. He is aging and we have seen his peak 2. He quit on his team going into the playoffs, that is kind of unforgiveable 3. He is an assclown But but but he had good stats for fantasy fooball so it has to happen.................meh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don't see how they can justify it unless they get the chance at a big return - like a 1st round pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) He had the ability to play last week in a must win game and skipped practice, an MRI, and got into a fight with the QB. He took himself out voluntarily of a game that decided a playoff berth. You just can’t bring that guy back. He’s a great talent and football player but you cannot bring him back. Once a guy quits in an nfl locker room, it is over. He will end up on another team. 1 minute ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: Well, I could be wrong, but the Stillers are gonna have to take a big-ass salary cap hit if they trade him.

SCBills Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Big pass on this guy. Get Allen Tyrell Williams & Chris Conley or a guy in the 2nd Round. The dude is a locker room cancer. This team seems to have a family feel and our biggest “diva” (quotation marks indicate sarcasm) is LeSean McCoy who is a great teammate. I dont feel like subjecting our franchise QB who seems to be as high character as they come to Antonio Brown’s “it’s all about me” attitude. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sure seems to be all about himself and not his team. You can sometimes get away with adding a selfish, but highly talented player to a mature, successful team. But you can't build a team like that. I wonder if any of the posters here who are clambering for AB also rip on OBJ (who hasn't done done things that come close to what AB just did).

So it's not unreasonable that they're going to want to get something like a high draft pick that would let them have a shot at a new star for it.

starrymessenger Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I can't say that I know enuf about who is most to blame in all this but I would hesitate before making a play for AB despite his talent. There would be a risk of bad chemistry between the team's budding (but still developing) star at QB and the team's already established #1 receiver. I'd rather have Allen grow with talented young guys like him, even if they too have a lot to learn. Now if discord were not a concern or was a low risk and the comp to Pitt made sense, sure who wouldn't want Brown's talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
