Brown's Trade Value "30 cents on the dollar"

Ok whatever. I've provided two links with your none but repeat the phrase and it becomes true for some.

As stated with the link you quoted per Adam Schefter Brown has formally requested a trade from the Steelers.

 

Million dollar talent, 10 cent head. Demand a trade and ruin your trade value. Just to stick it to the Steelers. Are the Steelers just unlucky in picking such ungrateful unappreciative players or is there something they are doing to create these idiots? Neither player has a leg to stand on when they complain about money. Brown was the highest paid WR at the time he signed. Bell would have been the highest paid RB if he had been smart enough to sign their offer. Thank god he was dumb. And neither can say they weren’t used enough in the offense. If you ask me the offense relied on both too much. So what’s behind the temper tantrums? Did they screw up and pick idiots? Or did Tomlin’s style create them?

 

Good question!

What do we think would have happened to players like Bell. Brown, Bryant, and even Ben if they had a no-nonsense coach instead of a players coach?

 

Such a waste that we will never know.

 

if you can't get fair value for him, you have two choices, Bite the bullet, take the hit, get the best you can and be rid of him OR keep him and take the talent and drama that goes with it. But realize, keeping him endorses his past behavior. You start 'healthy scratching' or suspendinghimfor behavior detrimental at this late date, and the drama extends to the locker room. Players take sides, they get asked every day of game week about the ongoing drama. The Steelers can't start punishing AB now, after all this time. A let-him-rot-on-the-bench strategy is the worst thing the Stelers can do. Even if it gives some fans satisfaction.

 

Yeah but last year the Rams gave Brandin Cooks something like a 80 million contract, they couldn't afford to pay AB and Cooks. They have Cooper Kupp coming back from injury next year.

 

They should ask the 49ers for ILB Fred Warner and their second round pick for AB. I would still check with Arizona and ask about Patrick Peterson.

 

I will always refer to him now as Antonio Clown.

 

Ab for arron Donald strait up.

 

Yeah, it's a really odd thing for someone to say. I think I may have heard one or two comment on him being quiet in games every once in a while, but his contribution has been undeniable. Given the reports that Tomlin doesn't call him out on things as well, I wonder if this is a reference to other players on the team? Or maybe just more nonsense.

It's depressing watching how a player can go from one of the best in the league to least wanted in the space of 2-3 weeks.

 

I never bought his jersey. There was something about him that just instinctively made me feel like the guy we were seeing was not the real AB. The one we are seeing now is the real deal. I only buy jerseys of guys that are standup like Juju and Connor.. Nothing to say Juju wont go the way of AB however he is young enough that if they start to rebuild a quality organization with quality players he will develop into a team player.

My daughter texted me yesterday about AB. I already read about him leaving. She loved AB and had his jersey. I explained to her looong before this happened I was not a fan. Sure he is a good player and all but if you can't be a quality team player then gtfo of Pittsburgh. The guy is a huge head case. He literally stands in his own way ... Give me a Larry Fitzgerald all day any day of the week.

 

Hes also 31.. that devalues him as well too.

 

Common sense would say that his age makes him attractive only to teams who are close to elite right now.

 

I don't pretend to understand the intense ramifications of the contractual stuff but unless something has changed since this article was written six weeks ago, I don't see why the Steelers would do anything but try to talk him off the ledge?

It would sure be nice to know the reality of it so we could all stop the knee-jerk reactions.

 

Can aclown and steelers restructure his deal again ?

 

if we don't get a first rounder for him at the very least send him to a bad team for a 2nd rounder. Some place like Pittsburgh West Coast.

 

They would be the same. The coach can’t fix stupid. And if you listen to other players, this is equal or more on the lack of team leaders than the coaching.
