BREAKING: The Steelers are still talking with “several” teams who are interested in trading for Antonio Brown, but there does not appear to be a hard-fast deadline to get a deal completed, per sources. Story coming on @PGSportsNow
Aka The Steelers fake news attempts to scare someone into irrationally giving up a first have failed for the time being.

I don't think he was necassarily wrong here---I think AB let folks know he DEFINITELY wasn't playing nice or signing in Buffalo. The question becomes, why would they think he would?Rapshit is a joke. He gets so many big stories wrong, which is amazing given his employer.
Screams of desperation to me. I doubt Pats are interested but if they were, Steelers would be dumb to not deal with them if they have the best offer. You’re going through New England with or without AB. And then you have teams like KC, LAC, etc. Simply can’t GM in fear like Pitt is doing.I don't think he was necassarily wrong here---I think AB let folks know he DEFINITELY wasn't playing nice or signing in Buffalo. The question becomes, why would they think he would?
That's what this piece seems to claim. My suspicion is that AB also wants a new contract and that is a big problem for many teams.I don't think he was necassarily wrong here---I think AB let folks know he DEFINITELY wasn't playing nice or signing in Buffalo.

I think this was probably it. His "Bills price" was probably something stupid, like Aaron Rodgers money or something.Or maybe the Bills finally got to talk to AB and he told them he wanted a new gazillion dollar contract, the Bills told the Steelers that given his contract demands they couldn't offer more than a bag of footballs in trade, and the Steelers backed out.
For Kevin Zeitler. Giants improve OL and Browns get a nice DL. Good move for Cleveland.Per Mike Garofolo, the Giants are trading Olivier Vernon to the Browns.
Good deal for both teams. The dead money is about the same for both teams ($7.2M for Cle, $8M for NYG). Giants would pay $32M over the next 3 years with only $3.5M guaranteed. Browns would pay $30.5M over the next 2 years with only $500K guaranteed in workout bonuses. Browns use up more AAV but can get out earlier if they need to (no dead money on Vernon's deal). Giants could do the same.For Kevin Zeitler. Giants improve OL and Browns get a nice DL. Good move for Cleveland.
Giving up high draft picks AND the Patriots best young CB (cost controlled) for a high paid WR with major attitude issues?Just spitballing here, but what would people think about trading #32, #56, and JC Jackson for OBJ? That would seem to be fair value for Beckham.
I think they've got so many uncertainties on the roster, particularly along the DL, that I'd hate to give up the first two picks ... even for an obvious upgrade such as OBJ.Just spitballing here, but what would people think about trading #32, #56, and JC Jackson for OBJ? That would seem to be fair value for Beckham.
I’d do it, mostly because the Brady/OBJ bromance would annoy New Yorkers so much and it would be great to watch.Just spitballing here, but what would people think about trading #32, #56, and JC Jackson for OBJ? That would seem to be fair value for Beckham.
Really like this move for the Giants. Zeitler is a really solid guard.For Kevin Zeitler. Giants improve OL and Browns get a nice DL. Good move for Cleveland.
Pass on OBJ not to himJust spitballing here, but what would people think about trading #32, #56, and JC Jackson for OBJ? That would seem to be fair value for Beckham.
Way too expensive, especially since NEP apparently believe that some day JC Jackson > Gilmore.Just spitballing here, but what would people think about trading #32, #56, and JC Jackson for OBJ? That would seem to be fair value for Beckham.
Contract is a bit high but not as high as it seems. The total deal is 5 years, $90 million. But, the $20 million signing bonus has been paid out already by the Giants so that already cuts the cash owed to him by NE down to 5/70 which is fair value for someone of his ability. However breaking it down even further the meat of the contract owed to OBJ by the Pats would be 3 years/$47 million because the last 2 years the Pats could move on from him, only have $4 million in dead money in 2022(none in 2023), and save $15 million each on the 2022 and 2023 caps.I have a very hard time envisioning giving up multiple high picks for a guy making that kind of money with question marks. They had interest last year before the extension.
The less expensive, the better. AJ Green has averaged 14 games a season over an 8-year career. Over a 5-year career, OBJ has missed a quarter of the Giants' games, and the last two years, has missed half of them.Or just pay a 2nd rounder for AJ Green...
Does he really or does he just suffer all fools?Brady loves OBJ. I’d be all in on this.

Yeah I'm all about AJ Green if that is possible. Seems much quieter, is probably pissed from playing with a shitty QB for a shitty team, etc.The less expensive, the better.

If AJ Green could be acquired for a 2nd, someone would have done it already.Yeah I'm all about AJ Green if that is possible. Seems much quieter, is probably pissed from playing with a shitty QB for a shitty team, etc.

Give me OBJ/Gronk/Edelman with the Gordon wild card and Sony/White/Burkhead as the RBs.
We’re in playing with house money mode now. I’m going for max entertainment.
Think of the children! Some of them have only seen two SB wins in their lifetimes! We need to think long term.We’re in playing with house money mode now. I’m going for max entertainment.
The final chapter of this story ends with Brady throwing a SB winning TD pass to either Antonio Brown or OBJ. Just not sure who at this point.
He wants to throw the sword into the owners’ suites through the League. And that’s fine, as long as you acknowledge that trumps all else.Think of the children! Some of them have only seen two SB wins in their lifetimes! We need to think long term.
