What would have happened is they would have started fining him until he showed up to work. But of course, having a guy in your locker room that does not want to be there is the definition of "toxic".

If he retired, wouldn't the Steelers be off the hook for his contract? Of course he'd never walk away from $20m.

I hate the Steelers, but I want the Raiders under Gruden to fail so... I'm conflicted??

I don't think getting Bell and AB is going to cause Gruden to succeed, so this works both ways

He said he would quit and if he stuck to his guns the Steelers wouldn't be stuck with his $19m salary and wouldn't have taken a massive cap hit for a couple mediocre draft picks. i think presumably "quit" means gently caress with them the same way bell did. i already forgot what the cap details were about sitting out the entire season but if the steelers kept brown on the roster they'd be due his base salary and roster bonuses (although they can fine him), and his cap hit would be 1MM more than what they have now with him gone. and on a more general note, i'm not sure what kind of ramifications bell/brown is going to have on the player/team dynamics, but i'd predict more of a basketball style agent/gm relationship and maybe more opt-outs or player options? you can poo poo on "optics" as much as you want but when the salary cap drastically increases year over year compared to real costs elsewhere maybe players will take less money to not get poo poo on from all sides. there just isn't a power structure in place like the NBA. it feels like new territory for the sport.

Osemele has dropped off after getting injured a lot and dropping a ton of weight in an effort to be healthier. I'd be shocked if its for more than a 5th or so. This lets Gabe Jackson move back to left guard where he's much better yup https://twitter.com/Jerrymcd/status/1104838182804176897 Blitz of 404 Error fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Mar 10, 2019 |

very excited to see how the Raiders trade for a disgruntled, elite wide receiver who bailed on his team at the end of the season and wears #84 pans out this time.

I'm not sure a hall of famer and a future hall of famer have significantly different work ethics. You can't be accidentally as good as they are, or half rear end it.

As much as I hate the shitshow that is my team, I cannot disparage AB's talent. He's by far and away the best offensive skill player the Steelers have ever had. That said, it remains to be seen if Carr is physically capable of taking advantage of what makes AB extraordinary. Does he have the both the brain and arm to throw the ball to a spot regardless of the route AB appears to be running? Can he create from outside of the pocket when the play goes to poo poo?

I'd love a Houston and Suggs pass rushing duo in Baltimore. They'd only be able to track down QBs older than 30 but when they do those guys would die.
