OT: Antonio Brown got what he wanted..

[fishwater99]

He was acting like a FA and got a great deal. I can't believe the Steelers fell for it.

Seems best case scenario for Pittsburgh. He was not going to play for them this year. Steelers experienced that last year with Bell and ended up getting nothing in return for him. At least they got something for Brown.

He put the Steelers in a tough spot, but clearly this was all about $$$ for AB, so congrats to him for that. He got top notch cash to play out the rest of his years for a crap franchise, and he’ll likely never see a playoff game again aside from watching from his couch

Well done... I guess

They were also not going to be able to pay both him and Juju beyond next season, when they likely want to give Juju his long term deal, so this was going to be his last year in Pitt even if they didn’t trade him. It will be interesting to see if he is still the fantasy behemoth that he was for the Steelers after transitioning from Big Ben to the checkdown king of the NFL in Derek Carr.

Fell for it? Fell for what?
How were they tricked?

I’ve been a Steelers fan for decades but I’m really ready for a housecleaning in that organization starting with Tomlin, then Ben, and several others. They’ve been hard to pull for the last few years.

Be interesting to see how his temper tantrums go over with Gruden. TO was never worth the mess you had to put up with, and neither is this diva.
