Not just no but He’ll no. The stealers will want to much his contract costs to much & he’s 30. Who would rather have Brown or Fitz ? If you say Brown relinquish your username & join some other team.

Well it won't be hard to join another team but if Kliff Kingsbury wants to run his chuck and duck offense Brown would be great.

I wouldn’t mind having Antonio Brown on this team. I am also not giving up Patrick Peterson for him either. PP wanted out because Wilks was lost and didn’t play on our strengths. I think PP is excited where we are headed now and wants to stay. If you went for AB that would mean giving up some high picks. Rumor has speculated a 2nd round pick for him. I would do it for him as you have instant success. Only do it if you can get the supporting cast around him in OL though which is a tall order although under Kingsbury it is going to be a fast paced offense so he is going to teach quicker release benefitting David Johnson. I am NOT giving up one of my best players on defense.

Do we even know if fitz is gonna play next year ? I agree that it's probably gonna cost a 2nd or 3rd possibly then it's a big contract but who knows whats on the minds of the cardinals right now and wr is a major need for this team.

We have often seen receivers like him fade away when they go to their next team. Remember this dominant receiver position in Pitt has had the cogs swapped a few times. Mike Wallace, Emmanuel Sanders, and finally Antonio Brown. He will leave and be fairly productive, but nothing like he has been.

Brown will be doing all he can to be cut, not traded by the Steelers, because he will get far more in free agency than if traded. The Steelers will be doing anything they can to trade him, so they at least get compensation for the tens of millions of dead cap he will cost them whether cut or traded. Brown can’t prevent a trade...he can only act out in ways that make teams less likely to trade...but not act out enough to hurt his free agency opportunities.
Would a trade be a good deal for a team like the Cardinals? On the money side, yes. Read this from an analysis:
“Would a team want to trade for Antonio Brown?
A team that traded for Brown would get him at cap costs of $15.125 million in 2019, $11.3 million in 2020 and $12.5 million in 2021. None of that is guaranteed. The team would get one of the top wide receivers in the NFL at a cost of $12.975 million per year with no guarantees.
Of course they would want to trade for him. That’s a steal”
So the money side is a no brainer. An All Pro WR with no health issues performing at a top level for $13 million unguarenteed. Could walk from him any time, and he’s under contract three years!
But you then have to consider 1) He’s a diva, potential locker room cancer and 2) compensation given up to trade.
I expect he wouldn’t become a locker room cancer right away, as he will be all about being free from Pitt with a chip on his shoulder. You’d need to get three years out of him through the diva stuff. Then he will be a 33/34 year old WR looking at a last contract.
As for compensation, our second rounder is better than anyone else’s. Say Pitt wasn’t offered a player or a first and a second becomes the price. Would our second be worth it? A 30 yr old diva but All Pro WR for 3 years at $13 million a year unguarenteed, or a 33rd pick young and NFL unproven WR for 4 years for cheaper but with guarantees and signing bonuses? Last year’s 33rd pick was 4 years, $7.5 million.
So you can have an unproven N. Harry, AJ Brown (Antonio’s cousin) or M Brown type WR around age 23 for 4 years, $2 million a year or a proven but 30 yr old diva Antonio Brown for 3 years, $13 million a year.

Ive no problem with a player wanting to be traded, like PP, but the line is when you dont show up to work. AB just went home one day and said "nah im not playing in anymore games this year". Thats abhorrent and he should be punished by the league.
For the butt hurt babies on this forum mad at PP, at least PP comes to work and does his job. AB is a slug. I want no part of him

offer '19 5th round pick & '20 6th. Take it or leave it.
The you take Rosen, Brown, and DJ on your fantasy team and it's off to the playoffs for both you & the Cards.

Here is a good one: trade Rosen for Brown and let coach draft his own qb. Steelers might just love it, coach would get exactly what suits him, and we have consistency across the board. This makes more sense the more I think about it. Hardly any time lost by having new QB with new coach and system.

Yeah just what a new coach needs, a clubhouse lawyer. Just let him pout his way out of the league, a la Bryant, Owens, etc..
