The guy is a locker room cancer, he throws temper tantrums when he doesn't get his way, or doesn't get the ball enough. He screams at coaches, coordinators, teammates and hall of fame qb's. I'm sure Brady would love a petulant child screaming in his face when he didn't get his way. Tommy probably wouldn't force the ball to AB like Ben did to try to make him happy, but almost all of Ben's interceptions this year were targeting AB, just sayin

Obviously I think some team will likely pick up AB next season but it won't be a shark-smelling-blood frenzy to try to grab him....

It's rare you get a star-like WR who just shuts up and goes about his business and is a team player. What is crazy is that you almost cannot have a good WR without him being such a diva at the same time.

I don't see Tom "I'll throw the damn ball to whoever I want" Brady having any of that.
Browns might be a good fit - Mayfield would likely sling it willingly and they are short a deep threat right now. Oakland maybe.

With the emergence of JuJu I think it's alot easier to let AB go (aside from whatever cap space/loss and all that complicated business match jazz...) as a Steelers fan.
I guess for some people all that talent/money/attention/fame got his ego/head way too big....

But yeah Patriots lockeroom/culture does not tolerate those kinds of drama/BS. But they do badly need a top WR weapon....

Pats will draft some 5th rounder and turn him into a superstar. It's what they do.

I would much rather have Nuk or Michael Thomas over an OBJ or AB. There's a reason why humble star players like Andre Johnson stay on their original team until they're essentially shriveled up. Brown doesn't give a crap about his organization, rather, only himself.
He almost killed a baby. No thank you.

• Brown took to Instagram to publicly call out his girlfriend and mother of his children for not taking care of her children from a previous relationship.

• Brown slammed the media on the first day of mandatory minicamp, appearing to question why he plays, saying, “Am I playing football to make a lot of money or am I playing football to take care of my family?” Brown continued, saying the media puts pressure on him and that he is unable to go out in public because of it.
• Brown showed up in a helicopter to training camp.
• Brown disappeared for a week during training camp. Mike Tomlin claimed that he had been sent to Pittsburgh for medical tests, but Brown was filmed in a pool in Miami.
• Brown reportedly called Bouchette a “racist” after Bouchette tweeted that Brown was limping at training camp. He then called Bouchette a “clown” on Twitter. Reportedly, Brown apologized to Bouchette.
• Brown showed up more than four hours late to an event at Children’s Hospital, offering no explanation as to why he was so late.

• Brown failed to show up for Monday meetings after the Chiefs game. He then told the media he was “pissed off” because “we suck.”
• Brown was sued for trashing his Florida apartment and then claimed he had $80,000 in cash and a gun stolen from him. He was also sued for tossing furniture from the 14th floor of his apartment building, nearly hitting and, potentially, killing a 22-month-old toddler.
• Brown was cited for driving in excess of 100 miles per hour on McKnight Road, which was over 55 miles per hour more than the posted speed limit. Brown reportedly told police that he was late for a team meeting.
• Brown repeatedly posted his personal accolades on social media after Steelers losses, including a crucial 31-28 loss in New Orleans.
• Brown reportedly got into a disagreement with Roethlisberger in practice, throws a football at him and leaves practice.
• Brown reportedly skips the team’s walk through the day before Bengals game, shows up before the game, is told he won’t play and leaves at halftime.
All of these incidents, some major, some minor, have occurred since the last offseason. Brown, who will turn 31 in July, is set to have a base salary of $12,625,000 in 2019. He is signed through the 2021 season.

That was awful. Foot was turned out in an unnatural way. I think that's a broken leg not an ankle injury.

Horrific injury.

It's all fun and games now that Dallas won but how da fuq do you let Lockett get behind the defense like that

Wilson has one of the best deep balls, IMO.
Those 3rd down pass interference penalties called against the Hawks were the game...but, it was entertaining and this was a Seattle team without a kicker.

I'm not at all saying Trubisky is some confirmed solution to Chicago's QB woes suddenly, but watching Baltimore with that great D and their decision to go pop-gun offense behind their QB reminds me alot of the Bears...
#995
Chargers were robbed of a TD on that pass to Watt. They got it anyway. And 2 points on top of it
We will see how Lamar develops as a passer in the coming years. Should be really fun to watch.

He reminds me of a slightly shorter version of Vick without much accuracy. And frankly, I don't see that translating to success in this more pass-happy era in the NFL.

How don't you put Flaco in

Vick had his head up his ass before he went to prison, seems like Lamar is more dedicated to being a passing QB. He's still more accurate than Vick is.
Time will tell if he will develop the ability to go through progressions against NFL defenses. I've seen some great passes from him, with nice touch and everything. I'm reading judgment until he gets an offseason of prep as the starter.
