NGT: Could Antonio Brown be on his way out of Pitt?

micky : 1/1/2019 7:23 am
A "disagreement" during a walk through last Wednesday between Ben and Brown left things uneasy. Brown left Heinz Field at halftime Sunday during game. In article, it says one team official can relate this to simular situation that got Santonio Holmes ousted from pitt.

It could, but you have to

look at the cap implications. He is a $22 mil cap # with $21 mill in dead money. So no he is going nowhere. He makes almost as much as Ben.

Brown is a bit of a loon and I don't think Tomlinson takes crap from any player.

Not a good visual.
If AB is traded before 6/1,

then his dead cap hit is $21M.

If he is released (not going to happen), then he can be designated a post 6/1 cut. Doing so, splits the dead cap hit where $7M in 2019 and $14M in 2020.

The most likely scenario if he were to be traded, is to make it after 6/1 in which case the steelers would have the same cap hits as the post 6/1 release. Trading or releasing AB post 6/1 nets a $15M cap savings.

It’s funny my buddy texted me yesterday morning

Who is well connected to Pitt that brown made up the knee injury and that all of this came up after team voted ju ju offensive mvp. It’s shocking that it took the beats this long to break only part of the story. I have said it a couple times on here that it’s absolutely insane the level of crap Beckham gets compared to what brown does.

gets way more grief than he deserves here. It's idiotic, the level of abuse he gets.

Because he’s a more consistent receiver who’s been healthier.
You cant trade B for B

Brown is over 4 years older. That makes ZERO sense.

Brown is a lockerroom virus. OBJ is not

Meh, his QB has been better.
If they can get a 1st and maybe a 3rd for him I would dump him.

It appears either Brown or Tomlinson has to go. If you add in a 1st and 3rd for Bell the Steelers could rebound quickly.
Pass

Think Brown is 31 soon?
