Arizona is getting more Twitter and L V oddsmaker attention this off season than they did the whole of last season. Kyler Murray, Antonio Brown, etc. Next? Season cannot begin soon enough.

Per Reddit, Jason Rosenhaus, one of AB's agents, is in town.

"Antonio Brown says he and Steelers owner Art Rooney II “cleared the air” and agreed “it is time to move on”

Move on to where , what , when and to who? One of the least self explanatory and vague statements ever concocted. One of those statements that can be explained away as "taken out of context and misquoted" later.

“Antonio Brown met today with Art Rooney, per source. Then Brown’s agent Drew Rosenhaus joined the meeting, as did Steelers’ GM Kevin Colbert and exec Omar Kahn. Meeting was cordial and “everyone agreed the trade will be for the best,” per source.”

“Clarity on Antonio Brown: Source says the #Steelers agreed to work on the potential trade but Brown and his agent Drew Rosenhaus do not have permission to speak with teams.”

Dudes crazy but for a 3rd or 4th round pick that is mighty tempting.

What steak house in Chandler I wonder?

 

[Southpaw]

A B is an emotional trainwreck. Given his bad situation as a youth, it is understandable his need to be the center of attention, but he is so high risk please go somewhere else.

Fleming’s

this guy seems like he's destined to be a Dolphin, never to be heard of again.

For some reason I thought that was in Tempe.

I think it's Chop. I've seen SK in there a dozen times or so as well as some other Cardinal brass.

No doubt - suddenly the Cards have a credible top skill position trio (Brown/Fitz/DJ) and at a very moderate cost. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if he did end up being a pain in the ass, the Cards could cut him without any cap risk, right?

He's a top 5 receiver and still young. Brown fills arguably our biggest hole for a reasonable price, so even if he's crazy, the potential reward outweighs the risk.

My guess is any trade will come with a new contract in place. I doubt any team will sign him without a new contract agreed to in principle or they will just be in the same place as Pittsburgh is.

He isn’t really young for a WR, he will be 31 when the season starts, not everyone is like Fitz.

Never heard of Chop but looking it up seems like a pretty good date night option for me and the wife

He’s under contract for the next 3 years and his contract is pretty good. He’s not leaving because he wants money he’s leaving because of Ben

He hasn’t been shy of saying he is wanting “guaranteed money” that tells me he wants a new contract.

I haven’t heard anything like that all his comments have been about Ben.

Bell is the one holding out for money

 

[Zeno]

Brown's comments do indicate that if a team trades for his services, the Pro Bowl receiver would seemingly expect a new guaranteed-filled contract to come along with that swap. The expectation of sinking more money into the 30-year-old receiver could further deteriorate Brown's already waning trade stock.

[Zeno]

The embattled Pittsburgh Steelers receiver said on an Instagram video that he's not playing without more guaranteed money. Brown has told the Steelers he wants to be dealt and is using social media to reinforce that desire.
