Will it be the 49ers? Man it must be rough to be a steelers fan right now

[BOTT]

Yawn

[DaColts85]

Would not even entertain this if I were Ballard. Steelers won’t let him walk for less than the Amari Cooper trade value.  No thanks!

49ers or Cardinals, IMO

[MikeCurtis]

AB is actually IS a primmadonna locker-room cancer........

 

Not gonna happen (At least I hope not)

[richard pallo]

I don't see him coming to the Colts but watch this be the trade that no one saw coming.

TY and Antonio Brown grew up together and are buddies. Just saying. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Steelers are a mess and I love it.

Arizona for 3rd this year and a conditional 2nd next year.

I would offer a2nd or 3rd but nothing higher they need to remember he is 30 years old will be 31 by the time the 2019 season kicks off he is no longer worth a 1st rounder.

49ers bound...it would seem. SF is in the NFC...and PIT doesn't play SF at home next year.

 

That SF team is going to surprise people if Jimmy G is healthy. If they get Brown...they will have more weapons than most teams (including the Colts).

I'd offer the compensatory 4th rounder at most...

 

Ballard going to draft his guys.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Not that I want Bell but Brown is 31, Bell is 26 and Bell isn't a locker room cancer, Brown is. If we took a chance on one, it needs to be Bell. Bell is a good WR and a great RB.

[krunk]

I could see the Texans pairing AB and Deandre Hopkins together with Watson.

I get your joking, but you cant trade comp picks

[Coffeedrinker]

Arians was the one the thought he could be a player in the NFL and Arians is the one that wanted to draft him, I could see a trade to Tampa.

Yes you can

Oh there was a rule change in 2017. My bad

[NewEra]

Wouldn't trade any of our high picks for him

[rock8591]

The only way I'd take him is if he agreed to drink a gallon of Andrew Luck's spit, allowing part of his greatness and humility to be passed onto him.

 

Unfortunately, he's not even remotely worthy of drinking Andrew Luck's spit.

[pacolts56]

I highly highly doubt that the Steelers will trade him to an AFC team.

Jason LaCanfora just reported the Steelers have decided not trade him to an AFC North team or the Patriots.   The only teams ruled out so far.

[BluHorzhu]

Brown's contract isn't expensive, but his best days are past him and it's not worth bringing in a diva personality to a young, impressionable team on the rise.  Continue to build through the draft and stick to the mantra of adding men of high character to the organization.

 

However, if he does wind up in Indy I've got the introductory tag line:  "What can Brown do for Blue?"

Actually I think starting last year you can.

Bell and Brown have become supermarket tabloid material. But in case someone wants to get them, maybe this will help.

Yeah when I am at the store and see a magazine, I see the Kardashian's than Bell and Brown on the lower part of the cover.

Ok and your point? That means absolutely nothing when it comes to Ballard choosing to pursue Brown or not. Antonio Brown is a me guy not a we guy. It reminds me of Terrell Owens all over again.
