Report: Antonio Brown has asked for a trade

Of course, there’s a big difference between asking for a trade and getting one, for several reasons.

For one, they’d take a $21 million dead money hit to deal him now, making it difficult from an economic and roster-construction standpoint.

Dude can flat out PLAY. Question is, how much to give up? Not just for the trade, but how much of the cap as well?

Brown has not officially asked for a trade. He said "I'm done" as he left the field. This based off Ian Rapoport.

But he'd cost way too much.

Not interested.

He's 30. More than likely his best years are gone. In general his best years were 13-17. I think his production will decline over the next 4 years of his contract but his salary won't.

He is getting $17 mil a year. He's the second highest paid WR (barring future deals) for the next 4 years. He was #9 in receptions and #11 in yards #3 in targets and #1 in TDs. You can't tell me that GB can't draft a WR who will put up good numbers for a fraction of the cost.

For the record, Adams was #2 in targets and TDs. If Brown was on the team both Adams and Browns numbers would drop.

I seriously doubt Pitt would want anything less than a #1 pick for him. I want GB's #1 pick to last at least 7 years.

A third rounder and an incentive laden contract at the most.

We'd be on the hook for 3 years and 40 million. That's just over 13 a year. The perk is pitt has already paid out all the guaranteed money and bonus to him. So we could cut him any year with no penalty. No risk aside from him being a cancer in the locker room.

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

What matters is what level he plays at, what the Steelers would be willing to trade him for and the cash paid out to him in future years which is (according to spotrac)...
2019: $15.125 million
2020: $11.3 million
2021: $12.5 million

If he's healthy, and not a huge pain in the butt for the locker room then he is probably worth it...

The next question is what would the Steelers take for him... when WR Santonio Holmes got it in trouble (a different kind of trouble) they traded him for a 5th round pick, which ironically they traded down for a 6th round pick which was used on Antonio Brown.

Though that was after Big Ben's legal trouble and they wanted to make an example out of the next person that screwed up, and Holmes reportedly pissed off ownership and was gonna get released if not traded. So this could be a different situation.

The price for Brown would be too high.

Adams and the return of Allison will leave one "slot" for a WR. I'll bet that will not be a problem for one or more 2nd yr WRs.

Spend the money on O-Line, Pass Rusher, TE, and maybe a proven RB (free agent).
