    For a third, yes. Then just guarantee year 2, so he'd know that he'd get $25M over the first two years.

    I would go for it but would prefer Beckham if the Giants would trade him to us

    He’s so damn good and is much younger than AB...The Giants front office is absolutely clueless if they trade him but it seems like they’re trying their best to do just that

    so youve diagnosed him as having suffered too many concussions AND with some sort of mental disorder? All from in front of your keyboard? Impressive.

    Depends which side of the fence you're sitting on. I'm on the no side. If you're on the yes side, I'll throw escarole at you. I don't know, it might wind up being Red Lettuce or whatever else is on sale because it can't all be escarole.

    Hey, don't pick on statjeff22. He's older than you. Um, he's also older than me . . . that makes me feel purty good.

    I keep saying it. The Jets aren't going to win tomorrow. Brown, Bell, Beckham, Clowney, eh. Let someone else pay them and see how things fly one year after the draft and one year under Gase. I get your reasoning, pero no muy interesante.

    I'm well aware. It is WAY easier said than done drafting an all-pro player in the later rounds. You really think the Jets are gonna find a top 3 player at their position at 68 or 93 overall? If Mac calls Pittsburgh and they ask for 68 overall for AB straight up you do it in a heart beat and hang up the phone laughing because you just got one of the best receivers in the league.

    For years he was my favorite player in the league.

    I never knew how wacky he was.

    104 catches, 1297 yards and 15 TD's. If that's unhappy and less than 100%, sign me up.

    All the crazy stuff may or may not disrupt the team. I would think that's part of running the circus of a 53 man squad. The undeniable about Brown is he has missed very few games in the last 5 years. He has been an all pro 4 of the 5 years. Over that period he is arguably 1st ballot HOF productive.

    Darrel Revis wasn't as vocally crazy but he was a mercenary and was constantly renegotiating his deal. He is also in the argument as the most impactful and productive players in the Jets history.

    Accepting his fate verbally doesn't matter. If he's willing to play for the same contract he's a steal. If he's willing to play for the same contract, the Steelers aren't trading him for a third.

    That is an anomaly and a complete stroke of luck.

    Just like Adam Thielen was an UDFA.

    You can’t count on getting that lucky.

    We couldn’t even find a WR in rounds 3 and 4 last year, now we’re going to find an All Pro in the 6th?

    You are right but we did find a very good UDFA of our own two seasons back, high chance to be a low grade 1 or a high grade 2 WR of course only imo.

    The last time we took a diva WR off the Steelers' hands, it did work out quite well for us for a year, and I don't think Holmes is even half as talented as AB. The question is going to be whether or not he becomes a serial bridge burner, or can he be reeled in by a good coach? Yeah, he's 30, but he hasn't shown any signs of slowing down whatsoever. If he stays healthy, he could end up giving us a good 6 years or more before he starts going downhill.
    Honestly, the only thing giving me hesitation on him is that we now know that he's a force of nature and a problem in the locker room, and there's the question of whether or not we can get him from the Steelers without depleting all our early round draft picks over the next few years.

    I didn’t say it was easy. But not as hard as finding a QB in the second half of the draft. The guy asked about getting a good receiver in the third round. AB was 6th. Robby Anderson is an UDFA. Colston was a 7th rder
    Green Bay’s receivers have all been mid rd picks. What rd was Welker drafted? Amendola?

    Who wouldn't want Antonio Brown?

    I don't know the man personally. As people we all have our own ways. But when I watch football on Sunday? Antonio Brown screams legendary impact while on the big screen.

    He will bring his A game with Sam Darnold as his QB. Darnold would learn alongside a great receiver.

    A younger talent like Robb Anderson wouldn't be able to be contained deep with attention on A.B.

    If you're a Jets fan and wouldn't want an elite WR such as Brown because he's a "headache" well then i don't think you understand the headaches big Ben is about to have without A.B and Bell dominating the playing field. He's a special player one of my favorite receivers ever.

    Darnold deserves him. He deserves Darnold. Darnold needs a hungry and fearless vet receiver. A.B deserves a QB looking for greatness rather than a p.o.s night life guy been accused of rape multiple times.

    Isn't he being investigated for 3 separate incidents?
    Filing a false police report regarding his car, the recent domestic assault and the situation in October where he was throwing furniture and stuff off his balcony and almost hit a baby 14 floors below? Seems like a perfect fit for the Raiders.
    Forgot the 100 plus in a 45 on the way to a game.....

    You can't make this one up. Jets fans are (reasonably) concerned about going after Antonio Brown because the last time the Jets got a primadonna WR from Pittsburgh, Santonio Holmes, it burned everything to the ground.

    and what do ya know? Santonio Holmes himself chimes in and suggests the Jets trade for Brown:
    WATCH: Santonio Holmes says Jets should acquire Antonio Brown: Says it would be "great" for the Jets
