Raiders wouldn't pay Mack and traded Cooper, but are giving Brown $50 million and $30 million guaranteed.

I'm pissed off...a third and a 5th for the best WR in the league....****
Like I said, the Steelers has no leverage in the negotiation. The desperate party in any transaction never gets the best deal.
a third and a 5th for the best WR in the league....****
a 3rd and a 5th? That is bullshit. The steelers just sent the message that if you don't like your contract, just act like an ******* and you get your way.
Steelers absolutely should have kept him. Even if he sat home and refused to play,
Lev Bell should have signed his tender then took a **** on Rooney's lawn. he would have been traded for a 6th rounder later that day.
