    I don’t think trying to get more money out of the Steelers was ever a consideration by AB, he knows that would have been impossible.

    In the end, Brown got what he wanted and the Steelers got what they wanted, to be rid of AB.

    I’d imagine he had some issues with something and the timing was right to pull the stuff he did.

    You act is if you are privy to everything that happens inside the locker room and front office.

    He is not going to get loved like he wants to on the Raiders. I live in Vegas and there is absolutely no buzz on the Raiders coming here in 2020.

    No I'm not saying I know all the ends and out but if he wanted money and that was it the whole scenario makes no sense. I dont think what happend in week 17 had anything with him wanting money

    Possibly but why did he even sign that deal in the 1st place then. I believe he did want more money ultimately but I think it was more to it than just money.

    Subjective indeed and merely an opinion. It's ok if different people have different opinions.

    He has but not like this. He’s gotten really bad with it in the last couple years. It’s like he’s entitled to say whatever he wants. Oh well he’s a good QB on the field most of the time and we’ll see what happens when the season comes around!

    Unbelievable the Browns of all teams get Odell. Plus the Giants got a 1st and 3rd round pick with Jabril Peppers. We got a 3rd and 5th round pick for in my opinion a slightly better receiver. Both in the top in the league. It just shows how bad of a trade that was. Now were going to have to possibly take the Browns seriously next year. They were already making strides and staking talent as were giving ours away. Disappointing.

    Moncrief, in Scottish mythology and folklore, was originally a demigod, their cult being one of the most distinctive features of ancient Scottish religion. Later, Moncrief came to refer to characters who, in the face of danger and adversity or from a position of weakness, display courage and the will for self sacrifice – that is, for some greater good of all humanity, originally of martial courage or excellence but extended to more general moral excellence.

    It was all about money. Ben was just a scapegoat for him to save face.

    This was all apparent as soon as he had his Mr. Big Chest treadmill exclusive demanding a new contract. Money and his legacy. That's all this was about. Anyone thinking otherwise is just fooling themselves.

    I think there were some personality clashes and AB clearly resented the rise of JuJu but yes, ultimately it was about money. If the Steelers had offered him what Oakland did he would still be in Pittsburgh I think. Doesn’t matter now and we move on.

    Ok, now that everyone has had a chance to let this settle in, let’s start fresh. What are your thoughts on AB, his actions and the trade?

    :beathorse:

    Don't think it was ever all about money with AB. I think it's all about Drama and Major Drama to be more specific.
    Loves the attention, and with the internet and Bell and everyone jumping on the Bash Ben Bandwagon it just kept
    spiraling out of control until he's like , hey a new start and all the news attention may not be that bad. Add a few more bucks
    in the bank and OK I can live with this. Let it roll. In his heart of hearts I think he just rolled with it.
