    My guess at the WR's on the team next year.

    Brown, Bryant, Coates, Rogers, HeyBey, and one of Hamilton, Ayers, and a draft pick.

    My favorite WR prospect in the draft is Ricky Seals Jones.

    After the first couple games when he broke his fingers, I thought it was his hands. Now it could be in his head. When a receivers "short arms" trying to catch a pass like he did on his first pass, it's never a good thing and shows lack of confidence.

    Bryant is a liability with his off field issues, Coates never ever fights for the ball and Brown is a total Diva. I would keep Brown, try and trade Bryant and cut Coates.

    Bryant costs nothing and under contract for 2 more years. No reason to trade him, the reward is much greater than the risk.

    What are you going to get for a guy thats a failed test away from another ban.

    You say that, but NFL Network reported that after Hamilton's touchdown yesterday, AB was pouting because he was wide open and didn't get the ball (see http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-network-antonio-brown-pouted-after-steelers-td-vs-pats/). Apparently Big Ben had to wait for AB, who was the last person to get back to the sideline, and console/reassure him or whatnot.

    I quote, "Instead of spending those moments with Todd Haley, [Roethlisberger] had to sit and worry about Antonio Brown's ego."

    And it's not like this is a one-time thing (see http://www.post-gazette.com/sports/...Antonio-Brown-to-grow-up/stories/201610220050).

    At some point, people may get fed up, regardless of how talented he is.

    I get the feeling Ben doesn't get along with AB too much.

    I like AB, but he is making it hard to back his corner. Can you imagine Bettis pulling stuff like that? No way.

    We need to keep Ayers, Rogers, AB, and Bryant. That is it. DHB I like but as a veteran he should have been the one to step up and couldn't do it. Wheaton could come back, but it better be really friendly. Coates I am okay with coming back if the coaches believe his issues were related to his broken hand not the norm. Do we forget what he did the game he broke those fingers? In addition, you probably draft someone or bring in another veteran. Look what Sanu is doing in Atlanta. Why? Because he is a good vet who filled a need.

    Id like AB to grow up some but really, this stuff is overblown. A receiver that wants the ball? Thats nothing new.

    And until we get a comment from AB or even Ben, this is just Aditis interpretation of what happened. She didn't even speak to him.

    You don't jettison the best receiver in football over stuff like this.

    Brown, Bryant, Rodgers, Ayers, DHB, Cobi Hamilton, and a draft pick

    Is I think who you'll see next year.

    I like what I see in Ayers, He could move up if he has a good camp.

    You can argue about Bryants stupidity for getting a 1 year suspension, but you cant argue about his talent on the field, he can stretch the field on any play short or long, he's the closest receiver to randy moss that I have seen in a long time, when it's clutch time he gets over the top on DBs and he just lopes down the field to the end zone, his contract is pea nuts this year and his value can be a huge factor in 2017........

    Coates isn't going anywhere so everyone can stop with that. He will get his entire rookie contract to perform. Look how long they held onto Sweed. If his hand was as messed up as they say it was then really over the shoulder catches is about all he could do. I think I heard he is going to have to have surgery to get the fingers straightened out. Wheaton won't be back. After this year I don't think Wheaton wants to come back. Wasn't there a report that he wasn't sure why he was IRed? The starting 3 next year is going to be Brown, Bryant, and Rogers. Ayers and DHB will fight it out for the 5th spot. With Coates having the 4th unless one of the other 2 can pass him. At this point he is a younger DHB.

    agree.

    wheaton is ok. Coats cant catch. that was his problem in college and we saw it again this season. he catches that deep pass on the 1st drive and who knows.

    to me that falls on the coaches. why isnt Ayers out there instead of coats? atleast a guy like DHB makes his presence felt on special teams. Coats is a returner, but usually doesnt even reach the 25 when he returns one.

    AB/Bryant/Hamilton/Rogers/Ayers and probably DHB.

    use the money on a big time pass rusher. i love Harrison, but they need another young guy to go with DuPree

    I'm reserving my predictions for who's on the roster next year until after I've got over the post-AFCCG urge to fire everyone.

    DHB is there for special teams. As a WR, he's not very good.

    To the original point that we should pay Wheaton until Bryant gets up to speed, wouldn't Wheaton need time to get up to speed as well?

    I expect to go into camp with Brown, Bryant, Rogers, Coates, Hamilton, Ayers. Don't know what to predict for DHB, he may be part of the team. But if that's the line up, then I'd predict Ayers goes back to PS.

    I'm not a Bryant fan either. He's to lanky and doesn't fight for the ball with his obvious height advantage. I think we should let him go along with Wheaton and Coates and see if Dez Bryant is willing to leave Dallas. Or at the least someone with the mentality to be aggressive as a WR.

    I can't remember where it was but I saw someone predicting huge numbers for DHB. If only I could remember where I saw that....hmmmm.....:scratch:

    This is fake news. Read the article and watch the video. This article refers to the DWill td, which in the video shows AB didn't go out for a pass. This is not a reliable source based on this. They don't know what they're talking about.
    The article states:
    According to NFL Network's Aditi Kinkhabwala, Brown pouted after DeAngelo Williams scored the Steelers first touchdown in the second quarter of Sunday's game.

    "Antonio Brown was wide open in the back in the back of the end zone, and he pouted because he was wide open (and) Ben Roethlisberger didn't go to him," Kinkhabwala said.

    Here's the video. Show me AB wide open in the back of the endzone and I'll eat me hat.


    Plus the article is written like garbage. No journalistic integrity here what so ever, just puppets regurgitating misinformation.

    What happens when you don't have a 2-time Super Bowl winner, 13 year QB in the huddle to keep AB happy with enough touches/keep him focused/put him in his place, when he's doing his diva type thing?

    What you'll have is a major problem...a cancer...a issue that is TO-like. I'm sure management and coaching sees this in the near future as Ben gets closer to his exit from Pittsburgh. Just food for thought.
