Never occurred to me there was parallel universe of craziness elsewhere, like here. Those days were wild. This will be more quickly. I mean we are on 36 pages and Rapoport is doubling down. As I remember there were conflicting reports with the Mario Free Agency period as well. Which just added to the craziness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Now Moment Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 3 minutes ago, Rc2catch said: I have never said it since he’s been here but if Beane gave multiple firsts for a receiver who HAD to be traded he should be fired instantly I don't think he would give that up obviously but when was the last time the best receiver was traded? In 2019, I don't know what kind of compensation that requires, especially in this weird situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW I refuse to watch that network. But did that really scroll on the bottom? I'm gonna have to turn it. I guess it's not refuse, I just think it's crap. Edit- I'm watching it. If the AB trade was that official why would they be scrolling some garbage to 50? Edited March 8, 2019 by Ol Dirty B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be watching this story all day and I will be asleep dreaming of Allen to AB. I hope I waken up to some good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2019, I don't know what kind of compensation that requires, especially in this weird situation. The only thing with AB is everyone knew that they had to trade him. Which kills the compensation. His value was at an all time low given his stupid mouth the last few weeks and the Steelers GM saying they were trading him. If it goes through I’m really hoping it’s a round 3 with a couple players attached. Maybe ivory and Zay or something. I have a fear it’s the #1 though.

I’ll go ahead and side with the dude who’s boss has so much class he called his employees whiny children. Not to mention that the other guy in this equation, Roethlisberger, is at best a scumbag, and at worst a rapist, but AB is for sure the cancer in that locker room. I think maybe an organization has lost complete control because they have an awful coach and an out of touch owner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Now Moment Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 If we get Brown, that opens major doors for other players in free agency to come here. He could jump on the recruiting train and load this team up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formerlyofCtown Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 1 hour ago, machine gun kelly said: I thought this was just internet crap, but just heard while walking the dog on NFR, they are even reporting it. I’m not saying I believe the rumor, but never McD would even consider it. So much for getting some stud OL in free agency. AB if true will eat up too much cap. I don’t want him, but Beane doesn’t have me on speed dial. There’s no denying he is one of the top 3 WR’s in the league, but I just don’t see McD being able to reign AB in and shut up to the media. You do realize we will spend about 50 mil of that cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FeelingOnYouboty Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I really hope this isn’t true. Brown is a great WR. If not the best at his position the second best. But he’s the antithesis of what Beane/McDermott are about. If he’s not happy with Roethlisberger how is he going to deal with Josh Allen? I’m totally against it.

They didnt get along because big Ben wasn't only going to the media and criticizing him, he was also cussing him out in practice and getting garbage receivers to take 1st team routes because he didnt like what a future hall of famer did on a route in practice.
