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. So trade a 1st rounder for a WR..nope!! Maybe Rosen for Brown and their #1..

God, no. Please.
WRs are already overrated and you want to potentially replace the most diva-less WR in NFL history Larry Fitzgerald with Antonio Brown?
Gimme a break.

While I would love to have his talent on our team, we are rebuilding. We are not trying to fill a couple of holes to get to the Super Bowl. Lets keep with younger people that has talent and no personality issues if were going to pay big money.

I have no Idea but not sure cardinals have any interest in trading for anyone other then a young player with potential or exp olineman. Other then the first pick I see them going offense in both free agency and the draft.

God, no. Please. WRs are already overrated and you want to potentially replace the most diva-less WR in NFL history Larry Fitzgerald with Antonio Brown? Gimme a break. I'm not sure how much trouble Antonio Brown has been in but it isn't like Larry Fitzgerald has been the gold standard (multiple times I've seen Larry compared to someone ethically). This is a non issue for me today (back then it would be but There was barely any coverage at the time) don't know of Brown doing this (I haven't looked) except for threatening a reporter but they do like to stir controversy for stories -- ---- Last week, Soraya Nadia McDonald, a writer for the Washington Post, pointed out something that I tried to touch on last week myself: Just how much our attitudes and attention paid toward domestic violence have changed over the years. In my piece, I noted that 25 years ago O.J. Simpson could be arrested for punching his wife and eight months later be joking about the police on Late Night With David Letterman. But McDonald didn't have to go back nearly that far. On New Year's Eve 2008, TMZ published a story that said Fitzgerald had been ordered to stay away from [former girlfriend Angela] Nazario. It detailed the allegations, gleaned from court documents, that she leveled against him -- that after the two began quarreling, Fitzgerald challenged her to a play fight. Nazario said she swung at Fitzgerald, who then pushed her. He "grabbed me by my hair with both hands on the back of my head very very hard and tossed me across the room." When Nazario tried to leave with their son, she said Fitzgerald "grabbed the back of my neck and slammed me down on the marble floor…. was disoriented for awhile and could not get up, I remember he mumbled something about 'that's what happens when you try taking my son away from me.'" When she made it to her car, Nazario said she realized Fitzgerald had pulled out chunks of her hair. The story TMZ ran nearly six years ago, with the very TMZ headline "NFL Superstar Accused Of Baby Mama Beatdown," was, as McDonald pointed out, not widely picked up at the time. The Arizona Republic barely even noted it at the time -- -- their defense yesterday, in which a sports editor accuses McDonald of "inflammatory, click-hungry coverage," didn't help their cause much --
but you can't just blame them: ESPN and Sports Illustrated all left it alone as well. What's particularly strange about this is that it's not like Fitzgerald wasn't at the absolute center of the news that month: The Cardinals had just completed their improbable run to the Super Bowl, and the media had two full weeks of opportunity to ask the game's most telegenic superstar player about the allegations. No one did.
Now, obviously, TMZ is treated a bit differently now than it was in early 2009, but that's less because the news media has just discovered their news value and more because everyone has realized just how much of a hunger there is to read about the stories they publish and thus decided to get in on that action. TMZ drives the conversation now, not just in sports, and ignoring them is just not feasible. Particularly when they're almost always right, as much as Ray Rice would like to wish them away. But I think it's less about TMZ and more about those people who once had the ability to shut out a story like that no longer possessing that power. The notion of the best player on a Super Bowl team having a restraining order put out against him after a woman claimed he "grabbed the back of my neck and slammed me down on the marble floor" and then having no one even mention it is so inconceivable now, just six years later, that is seems surreal. When you look at why the NFL's initial response to the Ray Rice arrest was so flaccid and ton-deaf, the Fitzgerald story provides a helpful tutorial: No one cared this much, like, really recently. They missed the cultural shift.

I don’t think the Steelers will trade Brown, Big Ben and AB will figure it out, and AB will have a huge year.. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Steelers come out next season and win 6-7 games in a row early in the season..

AB will only play for the team he wants to play for and I guarantee it's not the Cardinals.
I would give a third rounder for him but that's it and that's just for entertainment purposes.

AB is so tempting, he would make this offense better right away.
But he's a lot like a very pretty girl. I'm sure you guys can relate. You get taken in and first night in bed is great. But then you have to live with her inbetween and it's hell.
that's AB.

Look at the top FA signings last year and two of them were guys who were not FA in the beginning but were cut by their teams for financial/performance issues. Mike Pouncy - center for the Chargers, cut by the Dolphins.
Eric Ebron- TE for the Colts-cut by the Bengals.
Both had great years and both could have been used by the Cardinals. but instead we went after Andre Smith and Justin Puke.

There are rumors that if Panthers need to clear some cap space to bring a QB in for Cam (if he sits to recover) that LT Matt Kalil $7mil a year could be a cap casualty.

Chris hogan from NE would be someone who would interest me.
