Bill's history with the Brown's could have come into play here since they fired him.

He probably vowed never to help that organization again.

Check into their history.

Most teams don't trade stars, what's your point? There's clearly friction going on between AB, the coach, and Big Ben....I wouldn't expect them to all come out and say it but the fact that you benched one of your best offensive players in the most important game of the season means something.

this doesn't sounds like things are going smoothly imo

"Obviously we take his lack of communication and his lack of presence, particularly on Saturday prior to the game, to be something that's very significant and will be handled appropriately so," Tomlin said Wednesday in his end-of-season news conference.
"I'm not going to speculate on trades and things of that nature. We haven't formally received a request in that regard, so I'm not going to speculate. I'm not going to speculate where the discipline and things of that nature might go. Just know that it's going to be addressed."

I'd probably give up the #2 overall pick. We should just build our team like the Chiefs anyway. Defense is overrated.

well that's not true

Browns agree to trade Danny Shelton to Patriots. The Browns agreed to trade defensive tackle Danny Shelton to the New England Patriots, a source informed of the deal told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport. In return, the Browns will receive a third-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft and Cleveland will send a 2018 fifth-rounder to New England, per Rapoport.

The New England Patriots have traded linebacker Jamie Collins to the Cleveland Browns for a draft pick. The trade is for a third-round compensatory pick if the Browns are awarded one, a source told ESPN's Pat McManamon.

Practically gave them Jamie Collins who was a pro bowl linebacker with the Patriots

There are plenty of reasons for the #Steelers not to trade Antonio Brown -- namely, he's really, really good at football -- but "cap hit" talk is misinformed. It's basically a wash for 2019 and they'd gain flexibility in 2020-21. How you replace him is the issue. pic.twitter.com/6FucNjhfgP

Then the whole Brown's were willing to give up a 1st for Jimmy G sounds untrue.

well if we pick a guy, and he busts in a year, we'll see how that goes.

For me, I'm all about picking a sure fire stud to improve the team. I don't like gambling. Despite drafting in the top 5, Lynch has already wasted a #3 overall pick.

this is a moot point though, since the Steelers wont trade him.

I think it was more Bill wanting Jimmy G out of the AFC and wanting to do right by Jimmy G and send him to a good coach who Bill has known for a while.
