Hunt has problems to deal with, so I'm surprised the vikings didn't go after him.

why do people think putting stuff like this out in the public sphere serves any purpose? talk about dumbing down...
"I'm so offended. I'm going twit about it - that'll show those anonymous people! This will not stand!" - said every moron.
The juice must be going into overdrive for Jay.
I never understood the need to have a Twitter, Facebook or other social media account. Timesfour and a few other comments sections in Packer sites is about all I can handle. Why would one subject oneself to such blathering? And then get offended when some anonymous jerk replyâs?
Sports and entertainment figures donât need these accounts anyway.
Yeah! Why would someone subject themselves to some jerk's blathering?

"why do people think putting stuff like this out in the public sphere serves any purpose? talk about dumbing down..."
Because followers, likes, retweets, etc are the medium of exchange for people who only produce words.
The irony of that tweet is heavy. Why write about stuff that doesn't matter?
Well, he does have a pretty weird head.
I would challenge your assertion about only producing words. Writers produce words in the form of prose or journalism. Most of social media is merely is recycled or plagiaristic group think.

Too bad DEN won't be taking a QB now in RD1.
I don't think this precludes Broncos from taking a QB in the draft. Their giving up a 4th. They may be looking for someone other than Keenum to mentor a rookie QB in R1. It would be strange if Flacco had to do this again, but I doubt he has much say in the matter.

Just what our young, first year head coach needs....a team cancer diva WR.
Ya, Brown would be a hell of a risk. Complete boom or bust in terms of team chemistry.
Found it interesting his 2019 salary is about 12 mil. The Steelers, even in a trade, will still have to eat a lot of his cap number, which I believe is about 21 mil.
Most pundits are guessing the Steelers will settle for a 2nd or 3rd
"jerk blathering"
I'd take the shot for a 3rd rounder on Brown opposite D. Adams
Pitt's TE Jesse James is a FA. Bring him. He's only 25 years old and 6' 7''.
Brown leaving practice, then skipping the next practice, then showing up expecting to play, is just so weird. That is some extreme shit. You have to doubt whether he's going to just stop acting like that.
Twitter isn't just for social media. You can follow pretty much any news source in existence. It's how I keep up on trade (my job) news and other interests. And there are a handful of really smart and or funny people I follow. I never write anything.
If you're a passing game nerd, look up 'receiver school' on twitter. Fascinating breakdown of route running. I think they also have a 'quarterback school'.

Without any hesitation at all - especially for a 12 million dollar cap hit. The only caveat would be if there was any clear domestic violence problems - then I wouldn't want any part of it.
Otherwise, could anybody seriously argue that having Antonio Brown for a couple of years wouldn't be worth trading Oren Burks, Kyler Fackrell, Motravius Adams, Ty Montgomery, or Richard Rodgers for? Because those are the last 5 3rd round picks for the Packers.
His 12 million dollar cap hit is less than Jimmy Graham's next year.
I don't see if as that big a risk. The worst that happens is that he comes in and blows up and you have to cut him. It would be the same thing as if he got hurt in the first game. Would you be that worried about him poisoning the culture? In all seriousness, they could use someone to shake things up like that.
I think he's very likely to behave himself for at least a year. Let him arrive at training camp in a helicopter or drive a car that's worth more than the GDP of a small African Country. Who cares?
I also go back to the fact that Antonio Brown is being painted incorrigible as a terrible problem and a diva (of course he's a diva). His QB should have been in jail for multiple rapes, yet he is now some sort of perfect citizen?
A lot of strawmen in that argument. Not even sure how Rothliesburger being a pile of shit works into Brown not being a cancer in Green Bay.
I'd prefer the new coach to shake things up.

Fair point on the Big Ben-Brown dynamic.
The main point is that I think the reward greatly outweighs the risk, and the worst case scenario is that he does become a cancer and you cut him. I wouldn't sign him as a free agent for a 90 million in guaranteed money (a Khalil Mack type contract) because then you are stuck and can't cut him. But to get a Hall of Fame receiver near his prime for a third round pick and a 12 million dollar cap hit if it doesn't work out is worth it.
My issue is taking away resources from building a defense and oline. Brown isn't going to be worth the contract if Rodgers is getting murdered behind guys like McCray.
Agree on the oline... but a tandem of Brown and Adams would be ridiculous.
You would need a good stock of kleenex for Brown because Adams is number one.

for masturbating?
Ironic that the penultimate "players coach" Mike Tomlin is having trouble getting two of the best players in the league to play for his team. Not saying its his fault, but Leveon Bell and Antonio Brown are arguably two of the best at their respective positions and they want out....must be pissing off Steeler fans to the highest degree.
Steelers are going to get hurt on the cap hit if they unload AB, whether its before March 17th or after.
A lot of posters here didn't want to pull the trigger on Mack last year. Draft picks were too important. I wanted Mack at any cost. We all know how that turned out! If Brown could be had for a reasonable amount you do it. As been stated, if he flames out you cut him. If you want the Superb Owl you have to take some chances.
A player that disrespects his coaches, teammates, and owner? No, thanks.
Way too much downside to overcome any potential benefit of bringing in a huge asshole like Brown.
T.O. was a great talent, too, and we managed just fine without him.
McCarthy wouldn't have known how to use Mack.
I don't think the Packers win the championship without Andre Rison. Then again, leaving practice and not showing up for the next one is serious stuff.
I wonder how Brown would react if the Packers talked things over with him and said, "We'd love to have you, but if you pull that crap here, we'll ship you out faster than a New York second."
One other thing. I am too lazy to do the cap stuff. That said, I still remain more concerned with o-line.
Henry posted:My issue is taking away resources from building a defense and oline. Brown isn't going to be worth the contract if Rodgers is getting murdered behind guys like McCray.
Agreed. You at least need competent OL. No more Spriggs and McCray.
The reason to look at Brown is that you get him without having go pay out a massive guaranteed signing bonus. 20-25 million a year for Brown takes too many resources away. 12 million is a lot more doable.

I originally liked Twitter as a good, specific news feed but it over the top idiocy would always bleed into it. Plus, I'm me so that's never a good combo. Social media is pure pavlovian conditioning IMO. Add some features to keep the morons off the feed and I'm good. Plus, Neera Tanden is an anti-democratic POS. If you didn't know that, she's POS and now you know.
Point me out to some good foosball and gif feeds and maybe I'd reconsider.

Yeah, a reasonable consideration. Unfortunately, this.
That seals it as a No for me. New contract? Forget it.

I kind of do the same with twitter. I never tweet anything out but I do follow things I am interested in on it and for me in my line of work there are some useful things I follow that help me.
But, then there is the evil side of me that gets a huge kick out of the true idiots who tweet. The buffoonery on twitter makes me shake my head and laugh at the same time. I swear we are not far off from being the society that was shown in the movie Idiocracy.
Twitter is worth the price of admission for this alone:
That is staged. The kid is offset from the old man and looking behind him (at the lady in waiting). And lady is waiting off camera to catch him. That's what I think anyway. But it is fun to look at.
Twitter is great because you can follow random shit like former Bengals WR Chad Johnson telling Devante Adams today he could cover Adams 1 on 1 because heâs studied DBs and then Adams clowning Chad that young men in the league canât cover him but his tired old ass thinks he can stay with him because he has vet smarts.
My goodness. Adams against Chad Johnson is nothing Chad Johnson ever wants to ever actually happen.
