Doesn't seem like anybody wanted him at that price and the Steelers themselves took on a 21M cap hit showing how much they wanted him gone. They all meet him and then want him gone.

I think you are way overvaluing what Brown will cost. He won't be getting a $16M or $18M contract, and his chances of getting much guaranteed money are gone.

I don’t think he’s really interested in playing football. He never struck me as a guy who cared much about winning, just about getting paid and getting attention. Why would he sacrifice $30M to go to a contender for what would obviously be much less money? (I know, I know. It’s totally possible that he’s completely bat#### crazy)

Very illegal. Part of their wiretapping law, which is generally the statutorily strictest among states.

Not coming. Too bad internet jock/heroes never come back to say how wrong they are. I'll be here at @Todem like dangling poop off a monkey's butt at 4:02 PM.
Whoops. No signing yet.
It’s almost as if you’ve never watched him play. His compete level is off the charts.

9 for 122 on an ankle that kept him out for a month leading up to the game. IIRC he barely practiced either -- basically straight off the injured list into the Super Bowl.

Come on man. Nobody works harder than this guy at his craft.
He is an animal on the field and at practice. This guy is ridiculous.
But unfortunately he is also bat chit crazy. So......but not interested in playing football? Are your ****ing kidding me?
Lendale White......that was a guy not interested in playing football. Jamarcus Russell...that was a guy not interested in playing football.
Antonio Brown is a freaking football player bro. Regardless what you think of him and his antics. He is one of the very best at what he does.

@Todem @rockaction Now now, there's room for both of you in here. Tidem, you never defined "quickly". Work it out you two.... there's a bet in here somewhere

Right. I never questioned that. I think he likes the spotlight and money. Doing what he does gets him both. I don’t think he really cares much about winning or being part of a team though.

Perfect team name for me this season. My dynasty team is pulling for a deal here.....let's go Drew earn that commission.

huge fantasy implications on where he lands..he could make a WR2 quickly a WR3 or a WR1 into a 2

LOL...alright maybe a tad exuberant there with my comment that Jets might give Pats a run for the money for the division...I'll give you that.
How about this than. Jets with AB would make the Pats alot more concerned about the Jets than they are currently.? LoL

You questioned whether he wants to play football. I think he answers that question every Sunday. You don’t get to his level being driven by money.

Oh certainly. No hate here, like I just said. @Todem is great in the Miami thread, and I remember he helped my fantasy team by tempering expectations on "The Unicorn" Preston Williams.@Todem @rockaction Now now, there's room for both of you in here. Tidem, you never defined "quickly". Work it out you two.... there's a bet in here somewhere

I’m talking ing about right now. Not a year ago, or even a month ago. I think his desire to play football isn’t what it once was. Why would he do what he’s done over the past few months other than him being legitimately out of his mind?

Agreed. If he cared about winning, he never would have agreed to go to the Raiders in the first place.
Man In The Box

Eh. See my response to Todem. I think he’s in a different place mentally. Whether it’s a medical issue or he just doesn’t want to play anymore. Something bigger at play here.

Nobody works harder except for the guys actually working at practice. But you are correct in one thing, this guy is ridiculous.

It's been reported that unless one of the teams playing Monday signs him, every other team (signing him today) can only guarantee 25% of his contract.

AB feels misunderstood, mistreated, and disrespected. I think he is fine with playing football. I remember him being peeved at the Steelers for not winning or doing more to win. If a team can find a solution for the misunderstood / mistreated / disrespected part, I think it is possible AB falls in line and still plays as hard as he did before. But that's a big if.

I still think this stems from not being voted preseason mvp

Anyone buying? I have offers out for him but no sale yet? Whats going for if you’ve seen him moved?

The bigger question is why does he want to play football? For the love of the game or for the glory it brings him?
Dizzy
Footballguy
That's a strong possibility actually.
He get's to cling to the spotlight with the intensity getting stronger in the off season.... AND he doesn't have to play football this year.

Because he went from a contender to a team challenging to make the wildcard. I truly believe this dude when he says he just wants to win. Ideally for him, he can win AND make his money. There are a few teams out there that can cover both of those.

I think the same people thinking that AB won't get resigned in a heartbeat were saying the same thing about Hunt. The guy is one of the best WR's in the league. Only hurdle is going to be his contract demands.

havent you paid attention? he wants to go to a winner. not to a worse team than the raiders
Man In The Box

Possible, but I’d have to imagine it’s a long road back to a big payday. He’s pretty impossible to trust enough to give any type of commitment to right now. And he’s not getting any younger.
