Antonio Brown requests trade

Agree. And at 31 next year and his reputation, he is not going to get a first round pick in return. He can sit out like Bell if he doesn’t want to play for the Steelers. His contract is at market, and he is not looking for more money, so he really has no leverage with the big cap hit.
Starts with the quarterback. It’s no coincidence that the Steelers started to underperform as soon as the defensive leaders like Troy and Farrior stepped aside and Ben became the team’s biggest leader.
You have to be a mental contortionist to lay Brown’s behavior at Ben’s feet.
Yeah, not sure I really agree that he wouldn’t fetch a first round pick.. was a top ten receiver in terms of yards this year. Also led the league in receiving TDS. Receivers have longer careers than running backs
Exactly. Which is why Tomlin needs to go!
No, it doesnt. Cooper is 24 and with the tags, the Cowboys have his rights for about three years, with 1.5 of them still being on a rookie deal. He also vaulted them into the playoffs.
We're talking about a 31 year old with a big time cap hit vs. a 24 year old with a modest cap hit, who wasn't actively obstructing the team's success.
We're talking about the best receiver in the league under contract through 2020. I understand the cap hit next year but 2 receivers and the running back are still on their rookie contract so they can eat it for one year. He's not worth the headaches.
Let him go. Great player but he has become a disruptive cancer. Plus he is 31 next year.
