Antonio Brown traded to the Raiders

https://247sports.com/nfl/pittsburg...o-Brown-trade-conversations-audio--130554159/

Sharing audio now of him and Rosendick's trade conversations. "Look at me I need to be the center of attention all off-season!"

 

And Landry Jones is now a raider:

Yeah any time he fades from the media limelight, he does something to put him back in it.

Classic narcissist. He's about the worst case I've ever seen.

Gruden really has his hands full. It is guaranteed there will be issues.

 

At this point he's a hot potato you don't want to hold last. I expect kicking and screaming tantrums on his way out of the NFL. One thing we know he will not go quietly.

He's flipped his rocker with all the money and fame got to his head. He didn't have the emotional intelligence and maturity to handle it all. Now he's a lost cause and ticking time bomb sure to explode at the slightest perception of challenge to his ego.

This is Tim Benz's breakdown of the audio. I haven't heard it yet.

It sounds like Brown made himself look like an idiot. At least that was honest.

 

I'm sure Rosenhaus LOVES the fact that Brown just aired how he does business publicly. It's not like the guy does not negotiate for many of the high-profile NFL stars or anything.

I would love to know what the Patriots stated the'd be willing to give up for Brown.

I guess ultimately it was less than a 3rd and 5th Oakland pick, which is pretty telling as it sounds like Brown would have definitely chose to go there.

 

This is the exact same logic I have used about why Colbert and Rooney should have kept their mouths shut but it seems that when it's someone in the Steelers organization it's sacrilege to discuss it. In business, what you say behind closed doors is very different than what you should say in public, even if it's 100% truth.

 

Well stone, most of us know what was said behind closed doors in Steeler land was NOT what was said in public. Time you started using that space between your ears.

 

Please just go away! You said once you blocked me, do it again please? I don't like fighting an unarmed man and you are clearly unarmed in an intelligent discussion.

 

New contract demands from AB to Belicheat? That probably is why the Pats passed on Mr. Great chest.

 

Your chicken little impersonation is too hilarious to have blocked. I only stated that I will not feed your agenda of Steeler Armageddon Einstein.

 

Shouldn't you be in school? Grade school is tough to make up!

 

THANK YOU!

 

For what it’s worth... I also don’t think Colbert should have made the “52 kids” comment. He’s usually very tactful, and I was surprised he said it. You’d think if there were, I don’t know, multiple stories about our culture going sour that you wouldn’t want to perpetuate them with that quote. Not to mention, you want to put down 98.5% of the locker room? Hmm. Understand his point about superbowls... poor analogy.

There’s not even any value to be gained in saying it. The comment lacked tact and strategy altogether.

 

Am I the only one who thinks that, at Rooney's age, anyone under 35 is a "kid"?

 

Look at this clown, I have never seen a athlete go around bragging about being the highest paid at their position. So he didn't want to leave because of Ben, it was all about the money the whole time .

 

Yeah maybe Art Rooney Sr

 

I meant Colbert...…..

 

Saw an article on 247 today that speculated on the Steelers had almost locked up a trade to get the 9th overall pick in a trade for Brown so that they could get one of the Devin's. That is until Brown torpedoed it. Also had some big reaches on why they might take Hakeem Butler in the first if the aren't any linebackers named Devin left. Something about his working out with Calvin Johnson whose father in law is a Steelers scout and how that scout was seen at Iowa States pro day this week.

 

I think anyone under 35 is a kid”.

 

Me too!

 

All this bravado Antonio is sharing with the world directly tells me that he does miss Pittsburgh. Rather, let me state this a different way. Seems as if Antonio is still bitter how everything got to this point leading to his defection but he seems saddened at himself indirectly at the fact that everything got to that point.



Again, it does seem crazy and asinine to believe so. Here is my major reason as to why I believe this. Before I get to it though, consider this: just about every major Sports Media Outlet knows about who and what Antonio Brown is. As such, Antonio knows he is being talked about, better or worse, to a great extent and said story will carry itself into the regular season. That only leaves one real question; who or what is Antonio after?!



My response?! He is not after the Steelers or JuJu even though he is making it seem that way; the media doing much of his dirty work no less. What Antonio Brown really is going for seems to be one thing; self verification. To me, he wants to validate himself as the "winner" while implying he was a "loser" all the same.



Just how I am seeing it anyways.

 

I'm a little confused at what you're thanking...IMHO, you were getting pulled into the same avenue of non-productive discourse.

Guess I've always thought it equally the burden of a person feeling personally attacked to avoid counterattack and spin the downward cycle. JMHO
