Speculation or stuff you guys have read?

 

I was just joking, that's why I used the italics. Sorry. I think Indy is in 32nd place in terms of signing AB, however I do think they end up with more in FA than people/fans think.

It’s all good! Honestly after seeing him in recent interviews and how he completely ripped on Ben I want no part of him. 

 

Agreed on our haul of FA’s this year. Fingers crossed for a couple of big names. Small attitudes

Rumor has it brown will be traded tomorrow. Raiders are the front runners

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

How the heck did the raiders get all those first round picks?

By trading away former first round picks.

They traded Mack to the bears and Cooper to the cowboys

The Steelers are giving brown the middle finger. I think this is hillarious.

That is interesting. Allen, mccoy, and brown could be a nice trio

What’s wrong @MTC? 

 

Is Josh Allen a good QB? I really don’t pay any attention to the Bills. Definitely didn’t think he’d go there.

Probably the wrong GIF choice there. 

 

My intended reaction was "wow" with a happy-surprised emotional tear.

If only McCoy was 4 years younger and Josh Allen could throw more than 30% of NFL throws they'd be super bowl favorites.  

 

Let's hope AB is happy there where Allen will over/under throw him by a mile... Lol

Nah you hit it on the head. If Brown goes to the Bills his career is over. He might as well retire.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Someone said sending brown to the bills is like sending him to canada.lol

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Allen led the bills in rushing. You know your bad when your QB is your leading rusher.

I said could. Allen was playing better at the end of the season

[CamMo]

AB commented on the IG post that this is not true. #fakenews Hmm...

[2006Coltsbestever]

Brown thought he hated it in Pitt, wait until he enters Buffalo with that craptastic team 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

How long after this trade is finalized does AB announce his retirement.

On Saturday after he shakes off the shock, he will hold a press conference and call it quits  

[runthepost]

He’s ungrateful and I want you to send him somewhere that he will never be the same again.

 

Bills man the bills 

[Fisticuffs111]

Wow, gonna be interesting to see how this plays out.

Adam Schefter pulling no punches on RapSheet:

 

 

[Exodus]

My only question here is. Who let this slip to Rapoport and why? Ian and Adam are the two most well connected guys in the league. They don't just make stuff up and La Canfora it. If Rapoport tweeted that out, it's because he was hearing from multiple of his trusted sources that that's what was going to happen. 

 

It sounds to me like someone in the Steelers organization is playing games with Brown here. Everyone knows Brown watches social media, so why not leak that you're trading him to the dumpster fire of the NFL. Almost in a, "Look how much worse things can get." kind of way

[ColtsBlueFL]

Vic Carucci says there was an inquiry by the Bills, but not much more than a kicking the tires dialog.  And he said 2 Bills insiders (Vic is tightly connect in Buffalo) said they were surprised the Rap Sheet even reported it, as it was not imminent, nor likely to happen.

 

Thus the deal eventually falls through.

I expect Steelers to trade him for a conditional 7th pick to an NFC team before the dealing him to the Patriots...

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

This is a joke. When that came out last night everyone knew brown would not go there and this deal would fall through. Steelers are going to get pretty much nothing for him. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I think the Steelers really botched this. They are going to end up just having to cut him and not get anything. Then he will be a FA. Interesting perspective on good morning football is the Steelers hurt themselves by trashing brown.

[dw49]

I think it's a long shot but I believe if the price is not a first rounder as reported , the Colts could be a landing spot for him.

No. Even if they cut him and he became a free agent he still would require a huge contract.

A long shot? Just about as much as a snowball in hades,

Nah, it's just Rapoport wanted to be the first to report it and didn't wait for confirmation.

He was right. He even mentioned there was still details. Well one of details was brown actually wanting to go to the bills. He refused so the deal for nixed.

[CR91]

At this rate, brown's value will drop. No team seems likely to pony up a first

Talking is not trading. I am sure there has been a lot of talking but no one can report that as a trade. He was jumping the gun.

It's a big deal to be the first to report something for some reason.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

This  is crazy.

This will never happen. Never.  They would trade him for a conditional 7th round draft pick  (likely to an NFC team) before ever cutting him as a last resort.

 

Would you (as a couch GM) give a conditional 7th round pick for him?

Then he will be a FA. Interesting perspective on good morning football is the Steelers hurt themselves by trashing brown.

 

IMO, Steelers let Ben and Brown get away with too much.  Both of them.  And they eventually faced off. It blew up in their face.

Agreed, and some fans have blamed Tomlin for that reason.

 

Still, as a competitor, I’m surprised it got to the point where AB didnt go to meetings or play in that game. Almost feel bad for the fans...Almost.

I dont think he is the locker room presence Ballard is looking for
