I've got week 8 as the over/under for AB destroying the Raiders locker room. Great player but clearly a cancer and while Tomlin is still awful, the Steelers will likely be better simply not having him around.

That's in bad taste for sure. Brown really needs to move on from the Steelers and focus on what what's ahead. One thing Gruden does well is manage veteran personalities as he did in Oakland with Rice, Brown, Gannon, Woodson, Romanowski and in Tampa with Sapp, Barber, Johnson, Lynch, etc. I think there's going to be times when Brown is a distraction but I don't think he's going to blow up the locker room.

I'm just happy he's confirmed what many Steelers fans suspected - Juju's success was a problem for him, his ego was just too big to accept another great receiver in the room. Glad he's gone, maybe a 3rd and a 5th wasn't so bad after all.

[Senator Clay Davis]

The theory that he's insane is starting to look more believable. Seriously no idea what this "feud" is about.

Man what a complete clown..I haven't seen a WR act this diva'ish since T.O., this is throwback style WR ego.

Can't believe lots of Saints fans wanted him to fill that void opposite Michael Thomas. No way they would get along, AB has to be the unquestioned #1. I had no idea he was this ridiculous.

[transplant99]

All that pure talent and it comes attached to that kind of a waste of a person.

Just a pure Grade A #######.

This surprises me

Good for them. It will be interesting how many make opening day rosters.

hahaha I can't believe AB thought this was a good idea. It's almost not possible to make him look worse.

I'm betting big on the Steelers to win that division this year, there's a lot of value there between people being down on them and way too high (IMO) on the Browns. They got rid of two selfish clowns and essentially replaced them with Juju and Conner, two guys who are all about the team and have endeared themselves to their teammates. Conner overcoming all that he has, Juju taking accountability being humble and knocking the #### of Burfict, those two guys are two of my favorite players in the league right now. Steelers are gonna have a huge bounce back year.

Too bad Ben is just terrible now.

Not likely many but some will and that may be a boost to the XFL as it may be seen as more desirable to the CFL for a lot of US college players.

Rodgers, who participated in the start of the Green Bay Packers offseason program on Monday, said in an interview that aired Tuesday on ESPN Milwaukee that he suffered a tibial plateau fracture and a sprained MCL in his left knee. Rodgers, who started all 16 games, said he did not need postseason surgery but instead got what he described as "a series of shots in the offseason, which I've done before."

So I suppose we should talk about the Russell Wilson situation since it could change NFL contracts forever. Wilson is looking to have his contract as a percentage of the cap so it is tied to any cap increases. Seahawks for now appear to be balking, but I have a hard time believing there wouldn't be teams (namely the Giants) who wouldn't give him that kind of deal, so it seems to me the Seahawks are in a no win situation. Should be fascinating to watch what happens.

I wouldn't say they are in a no-win situation as they have his rights for the next three seasons which probably aligns with Caroll's retirement timeline. I can't see them attempting to re-build at the QB position as long as Caroll is coaching them.

[chummer]

Wilson signs in Seattle.

4 year $140 mil. $106 mil guaranteed, and $65 mil signing bonus.

[Erick Estrada]

Teams and players should take note of how to properly handle a situation like this. Wilson gave them a firm deadline but didn't threaten to hold out and the Seahawks made the smart move to pay him what they feel he's worth rather than go down the road of franchise tag and all the associated fallout which typically sours the player-team relationship permanently.

[chummer]

As a Hawks fan I wasn't holding much hope yesterday with the Wilson imposed April 15 deadline. I had a bad feeling he wanted out of Seattle, glad to be proven wrong.

35 mil/yr....wow. Highest paid QB in the league until Mahomes signs.

[puffnstuff]

Well Mahomes; and Luck and Goff and Wentz and Newton. Probably another I cant remember. They will all ask as much or more.
