kilroy69 995 Posted September 21, 2019 If so what is the offer? I sent teddy Bridgewater in a 2qb league. I got teddy off the waivers last week. I figure brown will end up with a team by week 8 for a playoff push and it literally just cost me a waiver pick. He can sit on my bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedzoneMonster 102 Posted September 21, 2019 If I were an owner and my GM approached me with the idea of hiring Brown I would fire him on the spot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zftcg 84 Posted September 21, 2019 You really think he'll be signed? I mean, I've always said that the NFL's cynicism knows no bounds, but I'm having a hard time imagining a team voluntarily signing up for this roller-coaster ride. This past week showed he is a loose cannon capable of doing really dumb s##t even knowing he was already on thin ice (apologies for the mixed metaphor). And I think a lot of teams will figure, "If the Pats couldn't straighten him out, what chance do we have?" And of course hanging over all that is the prospect that he could be suspended/placed on the exempt list at any moment, for the sexual assault and/or this latest intimidation charge. I have Brown on one team and I can't bring myself to drop him yet because youneverknow, but I'm kind of hoping Goodell solves my dilemma for me by suspending him so I can cut him and be done with this crap.

jgcrawfish 232 Posted September 21, 2019 NFL put out a statement indicating that since he's a FA he's not eligible for commish exempt list. However, also said that were he to be signed he would then be eligible for it as well as other punishments. No team is going to sign him with that hanging over his head.

huskyhater75 242 Posted September 21, 2019 He won't play this year. Even if he did get signed it'd take a while for him to learn their plays, when in NE Brady had him off to a side working with him alone away from the rest of the team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I absolutely 100 percent do. I think tampa bay will sign him. Arians os the head coach but in name only. His coaches are an all black staff that will handle him and his qb is black. He is not going to be able to use any excuses and they are gonna peer pressure him into being good . They will pay the veterans min plus game bonuses.

A wasted flyer....No team will touch him as long as he is accused in the present lawsuit, Patriots were clueless to the allegations before he was signed, or he would have not spent one second in a Patriots uniform....No team owner will subject a franchise the media & possible NFL scrutiny in signing him...His value in Fantasy Football this season is 100% worthless...

We will sign Brother Brown." "But what about the sexual assault allegations--" "SILENCE, HONKY! Wakanda forever!" Also, LOL at the notion that any of the control freaks who are NFL head coaches would willingly hand over control to their assistant coaches. But most of all, LOL at the idea that, on any team that would consider signing Brown, the decision would be made by anyone other than the owner. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They will pay the veterans min plus game bonuses. No chance. The Tampa ownership group wouldn't allow it. On top of that, no possible way he plays for the Veterans minimum and game bonuses. His Pride and Ego would not allow it. Plus, why would they even consider such a thing? Just what Tampa needs, to give Winston another decision to make.... You think an all black staff would make a difference? You think the players there would want him? That's the bigger issue. Which team has a group of players that would want to deal with this head case? Throw in the fact you are going to have a lot of pissed off women in whatever city he plays in and it's just not worth it. Not even close. Let this guy hang up his cleats. He will be 32 next season. Historically, many of the top WR's have started to slow down a bit after 31. Between his attitude, the issues the team would have to deal with and the fact he's getting older are the three reasons I cannot see anyone taking a shot on him unless they truly believe he's going to be the difference in getting to the Superbowl. Even that would be risky as all heck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Being a Steeler fan and seeing how things played out last year with him and Le'Veon was the first sign. Second one was all that bitching about a helmet. At that point I wrote him off. I think he's nuclear waste this year, nobody is touching him, simply because I still contended there is either commish exempt list (if he's signed) or suspension coming.

Trying to think of other skill position players who have left Pittsburgh. Only other one I can think of is Mike Wallace, but that was one of those classic cases where everyone knew he wasn't that good and whoever signed him in a weak free agent class would be overpaying.
