As Brown said: "I just want to win, you know? I just want to win. Play with a team that's going to win." So moving to Oakland makes perfect sense

Steelers look like they got worked over (Amari Cooper is worth a 1st round pick afterall) but AB's contract is outrageous so there weren't many teams that could compete.
But looking at what the Raiders did, the somehow turned Amari Cooper (a lazy route runner with a tendency to drop passes) and a 3rd and 5th round pick into Antonio Brown and a 1st round pick. Someone in that front office knows how to sell.

Oh great. Not only do I have to put up with the Steelers falling apart I also have to watch Cleveland get their act together with the additional turd sandwich that is watching what Jarvis Landry and Odell could have done if LSU knew how to recruit someone better than Zach Mettenberger. 
The Browns should be fighting for home field advantage in 2019.
In other news, signs of the Apocalypse appear in the Great Lakes region.

Think Cleveland's D especially the front four/seven look particularly good.
Pressure is on them to produce from the get go though.
The money that's been spent in the NFC North on pass rushers though ...

Browns will be playoffs next season. They've got a good deal there. Be a fun team to watch.

Agree. Raiders have played a blinder there I reckon. Steelers have had their pants pulled down massively on that one IMO. It's a terrible deal for them unless those 3rd and 5th round picks miraculously turn into top talents.

Reading on it, the problem was ABs contract. Other teams apparently could offer higher picks but couldn't take on the money after AB re-did his contract. So instead there being 3 teams going for AB it was basically the Raiders and no one else.
But, with the Raiders getting a first for Cooper and the Giants getting a 1st, 2nd and Peppers for OBJ the Brown trade looks even worse.

Yeah obviously with these things there's more to it going on behind the scenes and if they only had one offer on the table there's only so much you can do, but as you say it was a pretty poor deal in the first place and then in the context of what the Browns etc. have done it just makes it look even worse.

It was coming. He was basically a husk of himself for us last season.
Hard to believe he is just turning 30. He was an absolutely spectacular player for us. Dan LeBatard described him best "He's like a polar bear with good hands", When he was at his peak he was a Randy Moss, Dieon Sanders calibre game changer, i would have loved to have seen what he could have done if he was healthy his entire career but he had a hell of a run. He'll have his fun as he waits to get into the HoF on his first ballot.
Curious to see if we package some of our picks and try to move up and grab Hockenson or Fant or if we just try to get someone like Jared Cook for a one season rental.

35 when going to the hall isn't too bad I suppose
The Dan Marino one gets me every time.Im so curious about the draft
Why cant they just have a transfer window and they can buy and sell?
Also I seriously dont get this... so the NFL draft, as far as im understanding but could be totally ignorant, is about getting college players... how the fuck do fans know who is the best and who is the worst? how can they be so excited about players?
I mean imagine Spurs getting in a few youth players from college or whatever - no one would bat an eye lid
GO HAWKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS you shits.
