I praised the Steelers for letting this problem child go…even at firesale prices. Good receiver, unreliable teammate and human being.

The JETS make Stonio a Captain? What? Ignore his wake-n-bake tweets and police run-ins.

You deserve what you get Jets.

I’d cut my losses now.

The Steelers draft some loose cannons it would seem.

Folks, I don’t get the comparison of Holmes and Brown here. They weren’t traded for each other. The Jets 5th round (little risk) didn’t net Brown. The Steelers were the ones who drafted Holmes despite warning signs back in the day, so the Brown draft pick is, at best, proof that they may have learned from their mistakes, not that they’re so much brighter.

———————————————-

Except that the 5th round pick the Jets traded for Tone DIRECTLY turned into Antonio Brown. Pick was 155 of the 2010 draft, traded to ARI for McFadden and a 6th round pick (#195). Picked AB with the 6th. Feels good man.

It is a no brainer you have got to cut this guy but I assume Jets want to try and deal him first. If they keep him they are going to be out $15 million so cutting him is the best option. He gawn!!!!!!

My impression is that Rex really runs that organization; he is a player’s coach. He wants his players to like him and inadvertently allows them to get their way and walk all over him. He has no real control over his players. When they don’t perform or don’t behave, he stands behind them. He maybe reprimands them in private but to what gain? Does he really run and control that locker room?

More so, I’m impressed with how the GM Mike Tannenbaum signed that contract.

Was this a situation where Rex said “Mike, we need this guy. You gotta do whatever it takes to sign him and make him happy. If he’s happy with his contract, I’ll get him to perform.” and Mike turned over?

Who fully guarantees including injuries for 2+ years? What a gamble to think a player may not get injured. Where is the protection for the Jets? I’d like Tannenbaum to be my boss. I bet I can finagle him for a heck of a raise.

You forgot to list his holdouts, which I believe number 3. He is going to have to think hard on a excuse to sit out training camp next year

There is zero chance Santonio ever puts on a Steeler uniform again.

And Brown has unbelievable hands, catches everything thrown his way.

But he is another poster child for what is wrong with professional sports. He should pay a HUGE fine to the team for the behavior, but he won’t, because the Players’ Union has ensured that players can do just about anything they want and still rake in the massive salaries.

All the WRs are going to be a cancer.

If you can’t throw to Santonio, can’t nobody throw.

The best way to expose Sanchez is to bring in Flacco’s perennial stud receivers: Derrick Mason.

Oh wait…the Jets did that. I didn’t see, how did that work out for you?

Year Salary Cap Number Dead Money Cap Savings if Cut
2010 $1,400,000 $0 $1,400,000
2011 $3,250,000 $15,000,000 ($11,750,000)
2012 $9,250,000 $12,750,000 ($3,500,000)
2013 $12,500,000 $3,750,000 $8,750,000
2014 $10,750,000 $2,500,000 $8,250,000
2015 $9,250,000 $1,250,000 $8,000,000

Addition by subtraction.

Get rid of the head cases and prima donnas — like Cincinnati did when they moved on from T.O. and Ocho Cinco — and did not play games with Carson Palmer.

The result is a play-off team and no drama.

There’s no other athletic guy on the offense!!!! Don’t be like Josh McDaniels by sacrificing your male private parts just to promote morality!!!

Yes, Santonio can act stupid at times, but if we can let Favre get away with trouble 24/7 because he won a Super Bowl then at least give Santonio a break because at least he is a Super Bowl MVP!!! Desmond Howard was the Super Bowl MVP when Favre won it!!!

Well, whoever laughs last laughs best.

And now you know why the Steelers let this talented headcase go for not much more than a warm sixpack of beer.

LOL

(wait for 240+ thumbs up and 15 thumbs down)
