Antonio Brown Considering Holding Out For New Deal?

As far as I know we haven't heard a thing from Brown or his agent so it wouldn't surprise me if this was all much ado about nothing.

 

Then we'll have to start another thread!

 

He is under contract for 3 years so I would go on notice to the other teams that he can be had for 2 number 1's and a 2 and see who would trade for him.

 

I knew this was coming when he changed agents last year. Usually, if you change agents it means you are shooting for a new deal, why change if you aren't?

 

,


Bell ,is playing in ,his rookie contract, when its over he will ,get paid

 

Oh so this was all some elaborate testing of the reaction..... as AB has apparently stated that he is only missing the voluntary's due to his new born baby.

 

Where did you ,hear this, And i nvr thought he was gona hold out

And he has since tweeted about being a father. This whole thing smells fishy.

 

Just like AB was.

 

I really have to question your logic and ability to perceive clearly. Bell was on the 2nd year of his rookie contract. That is hardly the same thing as AB situation. AB is the best WR in football getting paid as the 14th highest WR. That is out of line.

 

AB is the best WR in football being paid 14th. Sound fair?

 

when he signed the contract he had 3 games as a starter ...let's say he was worth 2 milion a year he took 7 ..

 

He changed agents and then went back to the original agent. Fyi brown said earlier today he's spending time with his kid and will be there. As I said much ado about nothing.

 

He has led the league in rec the past to years, , 2nd last year and 1st this year, And how many probowls now?, , 2-3

 

Possibly.

 

I am not familiar with obscure character actresses.

 

He is simply one of the best football players in the entire world, not just the best wr.

 

By your logic Bell is far more underpaid than brown is.

 

For 1 year? That warrants a contract revision? Point is that he underperformed his first year of his contract.... and the Steelers didn't ask for a refund. He was a gamble signing that actually paid off in his 3rd season in his 2nd contract. Consequently, # of receptions doesn't mean squat any more with the ding and dent offenses played in today's NFL.

It's great that he's racking up all those receptions and yards, but......I'd also argue that his stats are a bit average in others. Kinda reminds me of Ben in the Arians years (racking up franchise and personal records, but not equating to SB wins).

Average reception 13.2 yards, ding and dent
1st down % on receptions 65%, sub par for an elite WR (compare to Calvin Johnson converting 83% into first downs)

 

I believe in honoring contracts. He agreed to the contract, he agreed to the terms, the Steelers are keeping their end. He should keep his. Some times you win, some times you loose. Look at Woodley for example. He got a huge signing bonus and was a bust. Steelers didn't ask for the bonus back. Fair or not, it is the way the union and the owners set the system. If I was him, I would honor the contract. If I was the Steelers, I would not discuss a contract for 2 more years. And I suspect that is what will happen.

That is if AB really is holding out.
