If the Falcons trade for Antonio Brown...

[rmilia1]

Atlanta is currently the odds on favorite for where AB ends up next year ( per Vegas sports books ). Putting aside that I think it's a bad move personnel wise it's tough to not salivate at the idea a bit .

IF it happens.... Would a WR corp of AB, Julio , Sanu and Ridley be the best in NFL history

It seems like he REALLY wants to be a 49er

Is this based on anything other than Jerry Rice saying it?

Brown is a diva so it wouldn't surprise me if he wants to go somewhere where they've got no other quality receivers .

No f-ing way.

For someone that sees an awful lot of both of these teams...best I can say is weird.

The 1.14 pick I think would get PIT's attention for sure, but the Falcons need that pick on DEF in a bad way.

There's been some social media interaction between him and some 49ers I think. And it makes all the sense in the world.

I think they’ll pay him handsomely...so that could be a huge factor I suppose.

I'd spend it on the OL personally . Sounds like Pitt may take a 2 for him but I just think it'd be an awful fit . But man if AB magically got his shit together just think of that WR group lol

Well the RUMOR is ABrown told Rice him he wanted to be a 49er. I believe it, also good fit imo and like you said they will fork up the $$$

Falcons are coming around

Lol. Well played .

If the Falcons are considering trading for AB, they might as well trade Freeman and Coleman for him instead of giving up a draft pick because there's no way they'd ever be able to run the ball again anyway.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Don't know how AB could even remotely be a good fit in Atlanta. The guy throws a temper tantrum when he doesn't get targetted as much as he thinks he should. Julio is the #1 for the Falcons and that isn't changing anytime soon. AB would just be even more of a malcontent there, imo.

Two schools of thought I guess.

Joe Banner: Steelers Should Get More Than A 1st For AB If Play Their Cards Right - Steelers Depot

I think PIT would move him for a mid to low 1st rounder...with the cap hit they have to take...idk about 2nd rd unless they are desperate.

 

[Jikkle]

Hard to see it happening.

AB isn't going to in a place where he's going to share the limelight and JJ is going to be #1 with his teammates and fans.

And the Falcons would be better off using the resources elsewhere with the pick and the cap space.

Falcons were the 4th in passing yards this past offseason so throwing the ball is the least of their worries. They would be much better off bolstering their offensive line and rushing attack to have a balanced attack on offense.

 

[FakeBelieve]

This would just be bringing sand to the beach.

 

[Shanemansj13]

I think the Browns would be a perfect place for him. He can beat the Steelers 2 times a year and Baker will get him the ball. Jarvis isn't a #1 and he knows it, he was recruiting Beckham for fucks sake. The Browns have plenty of cap and picks. C'mon down...not realistic at all though

The backs will be fine once the OL gets figured out but it's an odd idea to see how adding AB would work . Atlanta doesn't have many holes but WR certainly isn't a need

I'd say his range would be mid 1st to high 2nd. I mean if the 9ers offered pick 36 you'd splitting hairs at that point between a 1st and 2nd rounder.

I'd be shocked if they got a 1st AND more though. AB is talented but 31 is 31 and teams typically aren't going to want to invest too much draft capital into a guy that roughly has 3 years of top-level play and could have potential issues in the locker room

Seattle will surrender two first rounders for him, and then target him 4 times in 12 games, and then he'll get a season ending injury.
