    Hahah....well, if a team sees drama coming from a drama baby (like Brown) if they acquire him, why do it? Most teams will avoid that scenerio if they see it coming.

    exactly...

    More likely a 2nd plus a player or another pick
    Or better yet, mend relationships so we don't have to try to replace AB for the $1M cap savings we get from trading him.

    Reportedly, as of today, not much trade interest out there for AB

    It will only take one team to start that bidding war & bring us a crazy package. The more he opens his mouth though I think decreases the chance of that happening.
    We gotta change the narrative. My plan:

    Tomlin says something like, "Brown demanded his teamates work as hard as he does and was frustrated by their lack of commitment to excellence. His legendary work ethic is a problem the team could no longer tolerate.". Warn prospective trade partners that Brown's "Jordanesgue" hyper-competitiveness and drive is tough to be around.

    Watch those sweet deals come rolling in!!!!

    Multiple Pro Bowl OL are worth more than Baltic and Mediterranean, though.

    Let's make the twins the Utility spaces. They can play either center or guard after all (utility o-linemen).
    Too bad there aren't 4 of them. The O-line are like the railroads...getting you where you want to go.

    Fun fact: did y'all know that monopoly is all based on streets in atlantic city? I went there a few years ago and thought all of the street names were eerily familiar... then, it struck me. So i googled. And sure enough, Monopoly was based on Atlantic City.

    Maybe the Harbaughs or the Ryans should be Baltic and Mediterranean.

    Kenny Golladay says Lions don’t need Antonio Brown

    Posted by Darin Gantt on January 16, 2019, 12:39 PM EST

    There might be Hall of Fame wide receivers in other cities trying to recruit Antonio Brown, but Lions wideout Kenny Golladay is not going to be one of them.

    During an interview on WXYT, Golladay said he thought the Lions were more than capable at the position without the former All-Pro.

    “To be honest, I feel like the Lions are good where we’re at,” he said, via Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press.

    The Lions passing game cratered last season, leading to the dismissal of offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter.

    But that was after they traded Golden Tate to Philadelphia, and Marvin Jones was lost to a knee injury.

    Lions General Manager Bob Quinn said he wanted to add “more playmakers,” but Golladay apparently doesn’t think he means a player such as Brown.

    “No offense to Antonio Brown, he’s gonna go down as one of the greats, an amazing player,” Golladay said. “But with me, T.J. Jones, Brandon Powell, Chris Lacy, Bruce Ellington — I mean, the list just goes on. All those guys have made plays this year. I have trust in those guys and I know the organization does as well.”

    Golladay is right, that list does go on.

    Unfortunately, Ellington and T.J. Jones are free agents, and Powell has 11 career receptions and Lacy none.
