    If I was Brown, I'd want something between what Timmons and Hightower got. Brown had more tackles than Timmons, more sacks (4 - 2.5), and the rest of his numbers were comparable. He's a younger player, too.

    I like Vince, but if Brown could be had for near what Minter was paid, I think you'd have to strongly consider it. Coming out of college, he was fast. I haven't seen him play enough to know if his injury in 2014 sapped that speed.

    The market is tightening. Brown will be lucky to get $5M per year.

    He is better than Vince Williams so I would like us to get him, but unlikely. I still think we are saving money to extend Tuitt, AV and others.

      I'd be okay offering him a little bit more than what Miami gave Timmons in total (2 years, $13 million instead of 2 years, $12 million) but with much less guaranteed money (say, $4-$5M guaranteed instead of $11M guaranteed).
      Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

      Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

      We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

      We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.
