until someone else catches the game winning TD, then he'll sulk off the field and not even celebrate. It wouldn't shock me if the dude wants to go to a team like Tampa, or Arizona, or Miami where there's no other super star players so he can be the man.

$21 million to get rid of the drama queen and have a fresh start next year is a low price to pay. Remember every team has a budgeted amount of money to spend every year. This isn't rare that teams have lots of dead money floating around on their balance sheets. To keep AB and his retarded *** around just causing trouble and clashing with the HC makes no sense.
21mil in dead money - yes.
however, he is earning 24mil in base salary over the next 2 years. you can cut that fat off the cap too.
so, it's what a 3mil gain?
i certainly don't want AB gone. he is the best in the business.
unfortunately, they have to move him IMO. remember what they did with blount?
AB has had MANY more incidents LB did.
when you won't return calls from any player, MT or Rooney, the writing is on the wall folks.
ive heard different stories, I've heard trading him would save 1 million against the cap, flat out cutting him will leave a ton of dead money.

same crap. you lose a superstar and your only cap relief is ONE Million. What can you do with that? go sign Sammie Coates?
you would get a pretty high draft pick in return as well or a couple, I mean he is the best WR in the game as far as production goes. There's always teams/coaches that think they can handle/fix these guys.

Yeah, I'll concede that. AB has shown frustration with Fitchner, as he's designed lots of decoy type stuff, but do we all think AB is going to do that Debo vid if he has no problem with Tomlin? Harrison has made it pretty clear that his issues are with Tomlin. AB is doing that now in a subtle/not so subtle way.

You know what, I’d take the hit and let him go. The Steelers are bigger than any one player, and they’ll be around long after AB is gone.
I’d trade his *** to San Francisco, or
Some other bottom feeder, in exchange for a low draft pick. Then I’d start rebuilding. It sacrifices a SB in the next three years or so, but it maintains the dignity of a great franchise. I’d hate to see the Steelers sell out for this dysfunctional ***.

His social media habits indicate that he would be thrilled with that. Arizona seems like a better fit. Maybe Buffalo.
There are ways to spin everything but the reality is he would be paid 21 million to not play football and you are down a great deal of production. If anything I favour post june 1st and spread it out.
L O L @ rebuilding when a elite QB is on the roster.
Let us keep the coach who enabled this **** and falls short, but get rid of the best WR of all time. If not best second best.
Motherfuck
I feel today there is a lot of flailing arms and meltdowns..
No you suspend the ****** and fine him and tell him it will escalate as the infractions occur.

One thing is for sure, I doubt we'll be seeing James Harrison back for any future legend nights at Heinz. Surprised he was invited back this year but maybe management was trying to let bygones be bygones.
Dupree needs to be rostered for that money to be guaranteed. It was only iron clad if he was injured this season, and limits is ability to negotiate with other teams.

If AB is an *******, and he doesn't like Tomlin, seems like Tomlin might not be the problem in this situation, after all? Especially if it is that HoF QB'er who is getting the ball thrown at him?

Good, that is, still a while then. I was worried it had to be done earlier.
Tomlin's approach was a breeding ground for mouthy malcontents. Bell, Harrison, Martavis, and Antonio.
So as AB is part of the problem now it is bigger than what it should have been at this point.
If it would have been handled correctly to begin with.

While I get your point AB is AB he needs to be accountable for his own actions. He quit on his team mates. Then today he's making a clown of himself with Harrison. He's hit TO territory.
Exactly held accountable isn't the smallest action you can do by sitting him out 1 game when he already has a season full of stats.
And it was a informal action.
No I suspend him two games, and fine him. And then let Pittsburgh Post Gazette know he was suspended for missing a walk through. And social media infractions that also led to the designated time frame. And like I said in a few other threads the next time it's 4 games. Etc.
