In regards to all the reports saying the Steelers absolutely do not want to trade AB to the Patriots, do the Patriots even want him? I don't see why they would.

I bet they would make the call and offer something like a 5th round pick. The Patriots history has shown they are willing to take on headcases at very minimal risk (Moss for a 4th and Gordon for a 5th)

Agreed. And they would have to drastically over-pay to get him from the Steelers.

But the most they gave up for those headcases was a 4th round pick for Randy Moss. They take on headcases at the lowest possible risk to them so they can cut bait if they don’t work out. They aren’t the team that will offer anything substantial to the Steelers
Terribly injury prone. Exciting for a play or two then pulls a groin and is done for 4 weeks or whatever.

I don’t think they really care if it would be an insult. New England doesn’t pay premiums for guys with baggage

Meh, no team can say much of anything about AB right now. If they come out and says they are interested or want AB they would be walking a thin line of possibly being accused of tampering.
We wont for sure which teams are interested until the start of the league new yr, and once the trade negotiations start to get into later phases.
Reports are that the offers have picked up from the original 3 teams. So I guess we will see.

It’s all posturing. Other teams don’t want it out there for their competition to know they are looking at AB and the Steelers are going to claim they have a number of teams interested.
Still think it ends up being the Raiders.
- three first rounders
- desperately need a good receiver
- Gruden hates rookies and loves proven vets
- Gruden loves Brown
- Steelers and Raiders have already done business before
- Raiders personna has always been to absorb up the misfits of the league

I also feel it's going to be Oakland.
AB can look across the Golden Gate bridge and stare at San Fran too.
So theres always that.

they will definitely look into it if the price is cheap, which I doubt will be the case especially coming from the Steelers (in conference)
I saw a report that the Pats had their eye on Golden Tate of the Eagles

Is Mike Tomlin still head coach? Yes, you say? Well, none of this matters; they're not winning shit next year.

Heck, even the Pens figured it out after a few years and got rid of Bylsma
Tomlin still being there is a real head scratcher!!

Is it possible for an audience to pay the circus to stop the show and leave half way through?

People may not like what the Pens do sometimes but man, thank the Lord the Steelers don't own the Pens. Michel Therrien would probably still be here...and I like Therrien..maybe not 15 years of him

Colbert already said certain teams they dont want AB to go to. - CLV, CIN, BAL, NE would have to pay double.
So nah. NE ain't gonna be in on that.
