Steelers Sign Antonio Brown To 5yr Extension!

From the Steelers

I wouldn't be surprised if Wallace is throwing a hissy fit right about now.

 

Wow. Didn't see that coming.

 

Just saw this on NFL Network. Very excited we don't have to go through this whole Mike Wallace thing again next year even though Brown says he wouldn't hold out.

 

I was thinking they would sign Brown at the end of the year. Didn't see this one. Looks like Rooney saying "Mike who"?
I do hope we get Wallace signed too

 

Great news,,we got the right guy signed.....Now what kind of deals have Wallace been turning down?I still expect a trade if we can find a partner..

 

Lots of benefits to this signing, sends a message to Wallace, locks up a great player, and ensures we won't have to go through this with AB next year.

 

now i'd like to see a monster year from sanders and a signing. i still think they can keep them all.

 

Same ... but loving it!

Hope Manny can stay healthy this year and be a nice, speed option opposite of AB.

 

Is this a screw u to wallace or does it really free up more money? I dont know the cap so I was wondering if you were sure. I hope your right

 

WOW!!!! Great News!!!!!

 

X3
Yeah this came out of left field.
Its is either a big FU to Wallace, or a piece of the puzzle that will allow them to sign him.

 

I'd like to know what Wallace thought when he saw this news.

 

O.K. That's what he TWEETED - his public statement. I want to know what he THOUGHT!

 

Just kidding

Would love to have #17 on a long-term contract. Maybe they'll get it done for his birthday (Aug 1st raying: )

 

These guys all know it's a business. Wallace (according to the above tweet) had the same reaction I thought he'd have. He's happy for Brown. Most of the players don't seem to be upset or get involved when a guy is in the middle of a holdout because they're just trying to get their money. I think the fans get more upset than the teammates.

 

does this mean bye bye wallace? I like to see a sign and trade wallace. can we get a good pick or a good young DB?

 

O.K. O.K. But they're HUMAN. He knows he's been trying to play hard ball with the Rooneys - Brown wasn't even a RFA until the end of the season and they locked him up. They didn't do that for Wallace LAST season - AND - they're not bowing to his pressure this PRE-season. SOMETHING has to be going through his mind with this signing.

 

Dude got paaaaaaaaid!! Congrats to him. Had a fantastic season. Don't like that he has rosenhaus as his agent but at least they won't have to deal with that worm next yr. Wallace will be in camp shortly. Gotta be there to negotiate Michael! Pretty clear now if it wasn't for you before. Well done 84!
