it was not about what obj and Hopkins were making per year per se, but the guranteed money. They did give him a 19 million signing bonus( his last extension with the Steelers), but that was all. That was the guranteed upfront. The new salary is actually 18.333 million,( and you need incentives to get to that- pro bowl and all) and obj makes 18 million per year. so it really was about the guranteed money. And we both know he ain't no big Ben, so the Steelers could not do anything to that contract.
I have no qualms with Antonio wanting more money. My problem is with how he chose to go about it, dragging the organization that made him who he is today through the mud and making it sound like he was being ganged up against and playing the victim instead of just coming upfront and telling us it was all about the money all along like Bell did

Julio Jones had similar situation with the Falcons and didn't become an embarrassment to his organization.

Money is very important but if he fails at Oakland he is putting his Hall of Fame credentials in jeopardy

true that! Diva wr don't win on the big stage, but the Steelers have been unlucky to be in the same division with a team that had bill belichick and Tom brady( Patriots) and belichick has always done what he knows best- take away your best weapon which has been AB and allow big Ben to beat them with his arms which we both know how that has ended and injuries too have played a role in this guys not winning together
Why didn't Belichick take away Julio Jones in the Superbowl? The truth is Antonio Brown is easier to shutdown than the likes of Jones and Hopkins. I'm a Steelers fan and I've seen Antonio get locked down by lesser defensive masterminds than Bill Belichick.

No long yarning. Ben has shown he can win in the past. Let Antonio Brown go and prove he can without Ben

yes! Read it too. You could check the one on theringer.com. very nice and even bleacher report did one too and even though they all acknowledge that AB was childish and immature ...they all agreed on various points 1. Most prolific receiver in this era. 2. Made big Ben looked much better than he really was. This was a dude who went 9-21 in a Superbowl with 2 interceptions. And that guranteed money also
Did you know if you take out the 73 TD's Ben has thrown to Antonio Brown you're still left with 290? Big Ben made Antonio Brown not the other way round.

A great receiver cannot make a bad Quarterback look good. That's why Larry Fitzgerald is suffering in Arizona

Even in that Superbowl he was able to win in his second season he made some big plays in that game and in the Conference title game he made the game saving tackle after Jerome Bettis aka The Bus fumbled at the goal line.

Ben is a winner and was winning long before Antonio Brown made the league

Unless you somehow have facts that negate what was said in this article, i don't understand your figures.
http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/26186487/grading-antonio-brown-trade-steelers-raiders-won
Your article is literally corroborating what I said ab initio.

We took a calculated gamble paying AB in advance after his second deal. Had he failed the Steelers would have been slandered for extending a second rounder after two seasons. People always go on and on about these things as if the league is not filled with players who flop after getting huge deals.

Besides most of the cap juggling moves were made due to paucity of funds and not because they didn't want to pay Brown. He was made the highest paid receiver and the Steelers policy is well known when it comes to these contracts. Everybody is subject to it even Big Ben

Jons will perform. With the way he handled smith, it will take a very technical fighter to take him down. I never knew he could handle Smith that way, i've always thought smith is a bad ass nigga. UFC commenters have predicted Smith will counter all the sudden attack from Jones. I'm still yet to understand how jones fights, i'm sure he will perform but let him enjoy his light-heavyweight first before he moves up. I just see same potential in Adesanya, except he is not a brutal fighter, UFC is not for soft hearted people. He just have to be more brutal and top his present division.
But Smith is not really a true Light Heavyweight. He moved up from middleweight to take on Jones.

On paper Jones is equipped with all the tools to conquer at Heavyweight but I'm sure he has his reasons for not wanting to move up there. He's teased fights with Brock Lesnar in the past and I'm sure he's watched DC and is thinking if DC can do it surely I can. Though I also saw an interview of him talking about the risks of moving up to fight DC at Heavyweight.

Enjoy? Jon Jones has fought at LH for like 8 years now. IMO he has nothing left to prove in that division. Jones is a unicorn! I don't know if I've ever seen a more complete fighter with no real weaknesses. He's not the heaviest hitter but his reach is so long it will keep you at bay and occupied so much so you have little chance to mount your offense. And his kicks!! It's like fighting with a giraffe! This nigga is like Dhalsim

Adesanya is not brutal? Are you sure? I don't think Derek Brunson or Anderson Silva will agree oh

His presence was like a disease in the locker room,discouraging young players.
He's a locker room nuisance. Just watching his statements and videos since this whole thing started. If you're a team interested in winning forget it! You can't win with Antonio Brown. He's always been about his numbers whether the team wins or not.

Lol, weight too matters, he is too skinny for my liking as a fighter. He gat the ability and the skills but his weight will begin to tell on him when he encounter thick fighers. Anthony smith always look solid on the ground.
I think asking Jon Jones to move to Heavyweight makes more sense than asking Israel Adesanya to move to LH and face the best fighter in the history of the division. Let Jones move up
SportsRe: Mixed Martial Arts Fan Thread: UFC, Bellator Etc by A40(m): 2:21pm On Mar 11, 2019
Gratefulheart01:
Adesanya is the only person that can fight Jon Jones but since Adesanya is a light weight fighter, he will still have to take some time.

Nobody can beat Jon Jones for now.
I want Adesanya to stay at middleweight. Adding 20 pounds to his frame is unnecessary! He's a skinny guy

Jon Jones na agbaya. Why is he afraid of moving to Heavyweight? He has dominated Light Heavyweight so why not move up to fight the Blaydes, Derrick Lewis, JDS and Ngannou's of the world like Cormier did

straight up bro! No guarantees in that contract with the Steelers. Heard 30 million plus in his new contract with the raiders. Who could blame him? He's almost 31 and maybe have 2 or 3 years of elite play.
Is that why he quit on the team on the last week of the season? Is that why he has been acting like a lunatic attacking journalists, missing team meetings and behaving like a douchegoblin?

If you want more money there are mature ways you can go about it instead of bringing an organization and their QB to disrepute. We Steelers fans are ready for a fresh start. Antonio Brown does not exist to us. The Steelers have a conveyor belt of receivers so can't be bothered

AB has been underpaid for about 10 years now compared to other WR of his talent. In a sport where career ending injury can happen any time, I appreciate the broda wanting to get paid. The deal with the raiders was simply about money nothing else if the steelers were willing to pay him what comparable talents were earning I doubt he would have even demanded for a trade in the first place.
Underpaid for 10 years? No be 2010 e enter league?
Haba. You people should fear God nau! We gave him a $42.5m/5 year deal after his second season where other teams would have allowed him to run his rookie contract, bear in mind he was a 6th round pick

And after that deal expired he was given a $68m/4 year deal that made him the highest paid receiver in the game! So if the Giants or Texans pay Odell or Hopkins a certain amount 2 or 3 years later, you don't expect the Steelers to react to every change in the market. So you see The Steelers took care of Antonio Brown abeg. You people should stop spreading this false narrative.

We won 0 Superbowls with him and got to 0 Superbowls even with him in his prime so I really don't care

God will double you account balance for remembering these. This is how a classic LeDickrider thinks. They switch the narrative when it favours them.
On All star weekend, Klay Thompson and Draymond are not all stars.
Warriors lose a regular season game. "The have 5 all stars but won't make the finals."
You win in the finals, suddenly Klay and Draymond become all stars and you hear "They have 5 all stars what do you expect?"

lmao. Smh. You really don't like the guy very much Sha ...and speaking of juju, double coverages everywhere o. Cornerbacks with safeties on top? That sounds like a dicey situation all around. And a 37 year old qb who has never being great(good, not great) would put you over the top? Defense has been the calling card for the last 2 Superbowls wins, so maybe they would go back to it. P.s James Washington is going to be the WR2 grin grin
Why should I like a guy that burned bridges at a team that paid him twice.

If you double JuJu Smith then more food for the other tight ends and receivers. The NFL is the ultimate team sport.

What people are not getting in this matter is that Big Ben made Antonio Brown not the other way round. Absence of AB means less forced throws and more balanced targets and ball distribution. Ben has thrown over 300 TDs and 50k yards

The Steelers offense was strong in the 2008-2009 Superbowl season. It wasn't just the defense

grin grin No mind these our LBJ family. During the series of finals between GSW and the Cavs, I remember vividly on this thread when some LBJ fans were busy arguing and winning on how the Cavs are favorite and have the best casts. It was even worse when that werey arrived on this thread (the one wey claim to be God of the IQ's), that one when went on to compare players by their positions and guess who won? Cavs because to him/them Bron>Durant, Kyrie playing better than Curry, TT better than Draymond, J.R = Klay, then K.Love is an advantage abi na how he talk am sef grin grin
After finals; GSW is a cheat team with 4 all stars, KD is a snake, Bron has no help.... Here on this same thread o. It was only the last finals that warriors were clear favorites o, and still to LBJ's fans last year "It will be a close finals" until end of game 2.
They always shape shift and change colors like chameleon.

My own is this season has emphatically buttressed what I have been stressing since the Fall of Man. LeNomad owes his career to playing in a weaker conference. He is going to need that Miami Heat level roster just to make it past the first round in the West never mind getting to the Finals

I am not a fan of LBJ tho, but as great as he is, he should not have come to the West. All top 3 teams from the West would have beaten the Cavs in the last couples of finals GSW won. Last last we will all just see LBJ as a great player who played in the era when the East was at its weakest.
Bare facts.

They were gassing him that he can carry any team yen yen yen. Some of us that are long in the tooth reminded people that that shyte can only fly in the East where teams 4 games below .500 are in playoff position.

Let me remind people that the Lakers were only 2 games out of the postseason with 31 games still to play when he returned. Bear in mind that even before his injury the Lakers were only 2 games ahead of 10th place. Surely if he was so great they will not have waved the white flag with 16 games left.
