Sure. We'll flip a 2nd and a 3rd him... Then turn around and flip him to the Browns for a 1st and a 3rd. Will never happen, but I would love to see a "3-way trade" happen with an unsuspecting division rival. Plus I would just love to see Bell or Brown go against the Steelers twice a year.
I think he ends up in Indy, who has money for both him and Bell. Oakland has the draft picks to go get him and the cap, so both are interesting spots.
Rappaport is one of the worst insiders - constantly wrong, constantly speculating...
That said - I'd be more opposed to this on the grounds that we are not a missing WR away from being competitive at the moment.
If we had a QB, I'd be all for the idea of buying low on him and assuming that he's going to act right for a while with his new team after getting called out by the whole league. No need to hamper the development of our young WRs when we have so many other holes to fill.
Only good influences on our young receivers please.
Brown is a talent but a Diva and a cancer as well. We dont have a QB so it would make no sense to bring him here.
AB isn't the problem in that locker room; it's Roethlisberger. Rapists cannot be captains, and it's really showing that none of his offensive teammates respect him. That offense has no captain, and you would think that the quarterback would be the captain. Nope. I fully expect AB to have a great year next year with his new team, and without any drama. He lost his cool, and he shouldn't have, but that dysfunction stems from Big Ben. Guys just don't walk away from the kind of money Bell walked away from if that's a functional locker room, and that's more on Ben than AB.
I would say AB has actually been a great influence on Juju.
Lmao
Ben is more valuable than a WR.
Ben will retire before being traded. Was almost out the door after last year.
Quarterbacks are playing longer, so it's likely he is around for another 3-4 years. For a team like Jacksonville that has the talent and wants to win now, that player might very well have a higher value to them than any player they could get at 5 or 6. I honestly don't see Ben retiring unless he were to get traded somewhere with worse protection than he has.
He's basically the modern day T.O. I'm not against having that kind of player in theory. T.O. almost single handedly won a super bowl on a broken leg. He would have been great to have a few years ago when we had an older, veteran team led by Manning. But as others have said, that is not the kind of guy you want to add to a young team, and especially young at the WR position. A veteran team like the pats it would make all the sense in the world for. Not here though.
