    I agree hes worth maybe a very late first round pick from a contender looking to add a few pieces. Not a team in rebuild.

    If it was midseason yes possibly but I dont see this going into training camp.

    I like the position the Steelers are in with this trade possibility. If you don't like the offers he stays.

    I agree but hopefully next year he won't have to throw into triple coverage to keep "Pizza Boy" from throwing a tantrum on the sidelines!!

    Me neither but I'm just making a point as to why Cooper got such a hefty return

    Yes, a team thinking he is the final piece?

    Right. The Packers have the #12 overall pick. If AB was still the guy that he seemed to be a couple of years ago, that could have worked. However, with issues on and off the field there’s no chance of that.

    I would think Green Bay would be too boring for both Bell and Brown's lifestyle. Sounds perfect let's hope they both land in the frozen tundra.

    After rereading this, it makes sense that at best it would be a pick in the later part of whatever round. Teams in the earlier part probably aren’t in contention, because as you say, they are rebuilding.

    Knowing all of our needs...Would you consider a trade to the colts for both their 2nd rd. Picks (34 and 59) or the Texans for their 54 and 55 picks?

    They also he the 30th pick, I have said all along that I feel the Packers are a perfect fit for us to trade with. They 2 first round picks and 2 forth round picks, plus they are NFC and have always looked for that #1 guy for Rogers. :thumbs_up:

    AB to the Saints makes the most sense to me, from an objective standpoint. It wouldn't be out of character for that team, either.

    I dont think even if he didnt have any problems they trade him for the 12th pick as WR is not a major need when you have rodgers. Their concerns are defensively and that's what I'm sure they will try their best to address.

    Well, we’ll never know because Brown screwed it all up for both the team, and likely his own future earnings potential.

    They have one. Adams is a top 10 WR. Hes not AB of course but hes good.

    Yupp and they have a no nonsense coach that would cut AB at the sign of disrespect like he did to adrian peterson. And drew is a great guy. He'd make it his job to do everything he could to keep AB comfortable. I think them getting AB makes them the favorite in the NFL next season.

    We will see. I think even if they dont get exactly what they want I just dont see with how he carried the situation him and Ben(who the franchise acknowledges as the leader) coexist. Recipe for disaster so they pretty much have to get rid of him to be successful moving forward.

    I agree Adams is good but he is not a number one type like AB. This was talked about on the NFL network last week and they all agreed that Rogers has never had that "#1" type guy.

    He had 111, 1400 TDs, and 13 tds.. what? Hes not top 5 but has definitely pretty close. It's just so many great receivers.

    So you think they'd pay AB to stay home like the eagles did T.O?

    True. But I wonder if they could be persuaded to give one of their DBs and a future pick of some kind? They have to be all out to win next season.

    Yeah very good if not great season for sure, lots of very good receivers not to mention a pass happy league now. I am not sure one season like that makes him a true #1 and like I said most of the NFL Network didn't think so.
