Would be surprised if he isn't traded. Not the best fit for Nagy's offense.

Word is that a deal is imminent for Antonio Brown.....anybody got any idea who the team is? (Several teams have clearly expressed they are not interested. And I can certainly see why.)

My poor Redskins need a lot of help. They also need a new owner and HC, I'm honestly just hoping they tank until they get the first pick for Trevor Lawrence. I don't expect playoffs any time soon unfortunately.

Screw that. Locker room poison. Good luck to the Titans or Raiders or Redskins or whoever makes the deal.

@RapSheet: Sources: The #Steelers are closing in on a deal to send star WR Antonio Brown to the Buffalo #Bills. There it is.

@gerrydulac: Steelers and Bills had”positive” trade talks last night, but deal fell apart because Antonio Brown nixed going to Buffalo, per source.

I don't blame him. But then again, beggars can't be choosers. If he wants out of Pittsburgh that badly then the Steelers have every right to do what's best for their organization, not him. It's kind of similar to the Pelicans/AD debacle in the NBA.

I hope they send him to somewhere with a terrible QB like Miami or Tampa Bay for a 7th rounder and he's stuck there for three years.

Enjoy leaving one of the best franchises ever, dude. Have fun with Ryan Tannehill lol.

Someone on Twitter (Jason La Confora?) said the Chiefs would take AB but the Steelers would be very dumb to hand him over to one of their biggest AFC threats.

He's not wrong. Feels weird saying that about a Gruden team

Yeah, we'll see. It's hard to argue that the Raiders lost the trade, but it's almost only because of how bad it is for the Steelers. A third and a fifth plus they still have to absorb a 20 million dollar cap hit for him? That's bad.

Really the only part I don't like for the Raiders is the thirty million in full guarantees. That's a lot to dish out for a receiver who's on the wrong side of thirty and has a recent history of some kind of bizarre behavior.

The legal tampering window opens today. Contracts can't be signed until Wednesday, but teams can begin negotiating with agents today. So this is more or less the the unofficial start of free agency.

Lots of noise about the Packers being interested in him (as a fan, I wasn't), but I think Gutey and Lafleur probably decided he'd be a real issue.

Not really Green Bay's style, anyway. Although watching him and Rodgers improvise when a play broke down would have been a thing of beauty.
