From a pure talent perspective? Maybe. But he's more likely in a group with Hopkins, Beckham, Julio and Evans. Maybe a few more. And I'd take Hopkins or Evans over Brown (and Beckham) by a wide margin for the non-football reasons. And just a hunch, but I think if Brown leaves, Juju will slide right into the role and the production the way Conner did at RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well take a good hard look at our roster and tell me you can disagree. No Terrell Owens isn't as good as AB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be stunned if they got a top-10 pick for him without sending something else back. I can see the Colts offering the Steelers a nice package for Brown. Luck and AB would be lethal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a do-able deal they have the money to pay him. But you probably would have to make a choice between him and Bell. Not both. We could probably better use the elite receiver. On that one I could be wrong. Couple reasons I don't want to trade for Brown: 1. The 3rd pick in the draft is way too high a pick to offer for him especially with our need at EDGE 2. Brown has taken a ton of hits last several years. He's had as much usage as a full-time running back. Maybe if we could somehow offer Leo and a couple mid-round picks but I know the Steelers will want more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have Bell than Brown on this team. $17 million per year for a part-time diva Running back?

I'd rather sign Ingram or Tevin Coleman at 20% the price We already have Ingram/Coleman signed. His name is Crowell. You ever see Ingram/Coleman run when they have no gaping hole? It looks a ton like Crowell. You see Crowell run when he has holes? It looks a ton like Ingram/Coleman. Those guys had virtually the same numbers as Cro despite being on MUCH better offenses. I get the point that paying Bell is dangerous. So is trading for Brown. But I honestly wouldn't mind either if we have the extra cap space. At least with Bell, he wouldn't cost us draft picks.

ChuckkieB Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I'm on board with swapping first round picks with the Steelers for Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowell this year 685 rushing/4.8 yards per carry playing in a less than elite offense. Coleman this year 800 rushing/4.8 yards per carry playing with Matt Ryan/Julio/Sanu/Ridley. Ingram this year 645 rushing/4.7 per carry playing with one of the best offenses in the league (yeah, he missed a couple of games, but that actually makes him a bigger risk) Please don't tell me that you think Ingram/Coleman are elite RBs. It's bad enough that you have whiffed on many of your draft predictions. Let's not make things worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That says that you haven't watched Ingram play - and/or you're being an idiot. And this is coming from a Crowell FAN.... ok, i like Crowell,... but try to tell they're the same? fck outta here pal. I wouldn't pay Tevin Coleman in pesos btw. His career is 2 years away from being on life support IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you put crowell on the saints there would be no drop off in production. You'd just be paying for the big name. He's a 29 year old, 5'9 bowling ball that can definitely produce in the right environment. Just like cro. He'll be lucky to get 2yr, 5per in free agency.

Dcat Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Pat Kirwan and Jim Miller said on Movin' the Chains this afternoon that a reliable Steelers source told them that AB will NOT be traded to any AFC team. If he's traded (and he will be, most likely) it will be to an NFC team. Period. No exceptions. These guys are almost always right. They don't make stuff up and their sauces are solid.

I was just coming to post this one. I listened to the today at the same time. He said his source was "someone who knows" lol They did say that they would be sure to get the most value possible in return though. Just that the initial plan was to get him as far away as possible. The Steelers aren't dumb. They don't want a motivated AB coming to town very often. If an AFC team blows them away with a ridiculous deal they may cave though. Unlikely but possible.

Sure you're right if the price is our overall #3. I'd give at most a 3rd round pick not an overall 3. We just need an impact receiver to supplement our other pretty good Wrs.
