Last year Allen Robinson got a 3 year $42 million contract.
The team that would trade for Brown would have him for 3 years at $36.4 million contract.
It would be a steal to be able to trade for him. But it is part of the reason that Pitt wont trade him. His talent combined with his contract would justifiably make Pitts asking price way too high.
Pitt would need to get as much if not more than what the Raiders got for Mack. I doubt that any team is willing to pony up that kind of draft assets for a head case WR.
That said.....maybe Oakland would be willing to do that. A big reason they moved Mack and Cooper is they flat out couldn't afford the cash on one of those deals that they would have to lay down in guaranteed money. In a trade for Brown, they completely escape the cash part of that equation.
On the surface...As of now, Ben seems to want to sweep it under the rug...if AB is ready to move on, he'll continue to poke the bear. If he wants to say, we won't hear a whole lot from him in the media about this.
That said, you've outlined the parameters for a possible trade...it's a very attractive contract to take on for the production. Off the cuff, two teams make sense...OAK, and GB...obviously OAK has a lot more resources....GB has #12 and are in win now mode with Rodgers.
