Impreza178 6,046 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Still thinking it will be Seattle. They’re in a hell of a battle in that division and need any kind of edge late season. Russ is always having to save their bacon singlehandedly. now that the suspension is official...expect a signing before the season Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They’re in a hell of a battle in that division and need any kind of edge late season. Russ is always having to save their bacon singlehandedly. now that the suspension is official...expect a signing before the season When he got suspended and decided to accept it without appeal I thought the same thing as the bolded. That this was good news as teams know knew what they were dealing with, when he could play, and he'd be signed fairly soon. Pete Carrol's comments today make me think otherwise. It seems to me that teams are leery of his pending civil case and don't want to make a move until it's over with via settlement or trial(which I think is Sept 15th). I've no doubt Seattle is interested, they were last year when the Raiders cut him and that interest never went away and they were my prediction of who would sign him when he got his suspension. I'm starting to change my mind on that as well and I think there was something to the Chad Johnson tweet a few weeks ago about him being a Houston Texan. Whatever the team I get a strong feeling AB has agreed in principal with a team, and that team is stipulating that principal be nothing new and damaging comes out of AB's civil case and if so the offer they presented him is on the table for him to accept when that's over with. I say this because I think he'd have fought the suspension otherwise. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SharkSwimmer 4,887 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Very shrewd post. Antonio Brown almost never keeps quiet unless he is about to get money and he could ruin it by piping up. Something is in the works. With respect to Seattle, they have Lockett, Metcalf, Dorsett, and a bunch of TEs. And they don't really pass all that much until they are forced to, trailing in the 4th quarter, anyway. I don't see Brown fitting in to that type of philosophy. Lastly, do you want to have your young guys like DK Metcalf hanging around Brown and learning his life philosophies? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Smh. 1300 and 15 2 years ago...yeah, he's gonna be a thing until it's 100% clear that he's not playing. I don't like him any more than you do, but he's an absolute top-tier talent. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's a better shot at him suiting up this year than there was that Gronk would suit up, and here we are. That being said, he's nothing more than a last round lottery ticket pick to me. Wasting a roster spot on him for 8-9 weeks and banking on him not doing anything stupid in that time isn't worth a pick higher than that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not expecting anything. But it is worth noting he is on probation. So that should deter him from doing such stupid things. Key word there is should. 😀 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lolcopter 7,860 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 A Miami judge sanctioned unsigned FA Antonio Brown and entered a default judgment against him. Circuit Court Judge Beatrice Butchko struck down Brown's counterclaims in a lawsuit alleging he trashed a luxury condominium. Butchko said Brown's "conduct exhibited an intentional delay tactic, a pattern of refusal to follow rules, and established a lack of good faith." It's yet another legal blow for Brown, who faces an eight-game suspension that would begin Week 1 if a team signs the wideout. Whether his latest legal setback will affect his suspension status remains to be seen. The Seahawks reportedly have interest in Brown.

bangarrang 183 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 For those that have drafted already, where have you seen him going? If he starts to sneak into the middle rounds I'm not going to be a taker but in round 14 or 15 he's worth a flier IMO. Can always drop him for the bench slot if you really need it.

There’s been some indication that Seattle is going to change the offense up this year to reflect Wilson more. While Carroll has been insanely stubborn there also has never been any indication of him changing his stripes until this offseason but we will see... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Effectively round 18 because we have IDP so I had to take them out to make comparable to most formats. Basically with the kickers and dart throws. Once his team situation is known he could rise. Like if he landed with a good passing QB with not much else for competition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why are people so down on this idea? You think AB has lost the football talent?

PizzaBeerFF 757 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) One good thing is he is on probation.

Not to mention he’s been out of football for a year. And he has to avoid being an A-hole for quite some time now. Don’t know the team he’ll be on, his role, etc.... it’s a lot to expect.

Julio is 31 and pretty well expected to still be a top 3 WR. And probably will be next season as a 32-year old. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
