I think it’s a wrap.  And all we had to do was move back to 20.  Bravo, Beane.

If that’s the case, it’s a great trade.  Look at the track record of WRs drafted in the first round the past 3 years.  No draft pick would have this impact for the next 2-3 years.

Bold move you can afford to take while Allen is on his first contract.  To bad Kyle Williams will not be in that locker room to keep AB in check and possibly have another shot at the playoffs next year.  

 

This will also help to send message to free agents that the 1 year re-build is over and we are looking to win now.

Did the Steelers keep AB in the dark with this news? 

 

“The internet thinks this is hilarious, with many on social media posting jokes about the plight of the prototypical diva wide receiver.

Brown himself apparently didn’t believe the NFL Network report, commenting on an Instagram post calling it “fake news.”

Yes but others have said a deal is getting done by fri morning. Well it’s Friday morning. So it’s imminent. And Aditi said they have the best deal on the table currently. 

Wonder if Joe's source is still rock solid

The one good point ESPN does keep bringing up is that it's very telling that no good/playoff level team is reported interested in taking a chance on the guy.

All teams said to be interested are those like the Bills, Raiders, Redskins, etc. 

Desperate times call for desperate measures I guess.

Now this makes sense. And IIRC this guy has had under the radar inside information before. This would explain why guys like Carucci and Wawrow are hearing differently. Their sources are out of the loop.

That seems to be right.  Either the league office wanted to hold the cards for the weekend on the trade or another team/ possible division rival lost out and is driving up the price tag to sign him
