I’m just saying that I wouldn’t put it past them. They need young receivers that can grow with Darnold, not older guys that will only be here 3 years max.

Why do the Texans need AB?
AB has more leverage than you think. He can easily threaten retirement... so “shut up and play” won’t work.
O.G.
GUILTY BY AFFILIATION
His weed man is prolly mad af. This nigga gonna go from buying dro by the pound to getting fronted dime sacks.

And who does that hurt bro?
Not the steelers...
He retires...we dont have to pay him
He refuses to play they can go after his bomus money.
He acts out if no trade happens...conduct detrimental...and fine him out the ass
He literally has zero leverage bro like none

Cool he can retire if they try to trade him someplace he don’t wanna go. Gronk did that last year when they tried to trade him to the Lions. If you’re a team would you risk giving up assets for a player threatening retirement?

Bro I get all of that...
But what your missing is...
AB is under contract for 3 more years...
He has zero leverage any way you slice it bruh
The steelers are already doing him a solid by even attempting to trade him...and even still if they dont get what they feel he is worth...then guess what...he still a steeler.
He working against himself by being a jack ass
Like I said he basically is doing all this shit to get another contract while he still can. If he wants that to happen his best move is to STFU.
The nigga is literally biting his nose to spite his face by acting out
On top of the steelers not about to set the precedent of players acting out to get outta contracts
I understand that but if Pittsburgh had all this leverage AB would be a Bill now. They tried to be petty.

Out chea thuggin in my home office.

Just a lowkey chill guy
He retires his money dont drop the salary cap
Dallas salty cap was still be affected by Romo and he didnt even play.

Acknowledge Moi
Due to uncertainty with AB.

Like I said bruh I get it...
But in the end AB has no leverage
If he retires, sits, boycots, keeps trying to tank his trade value whatever he does
The nigga still under contract for 3 yrs b...
The Steelers hold all the power...
any thing he does to “hurt” the franchise they can do more damage to him cause they have the grounds to run his pockets b
He dont play...he dont get paid...AND they can fine him...and they can recoup some bonus money for breach of contract
He retires...he has to pay back a portion of his bonus
On top of his stats taking a hit
When in reality he can STFU and get his wish to be traded and get outta Pitt. He already sat doen with the front office and they agreed that parting ways is best...at that point he won...you want out...you getting out but that contract says we can send you where we want and even still they dont HAVE to trade him
Cause they not gonna cut him bro.
They not about to be the team that sets the precident that a player can basically tantrum thier way out and get everything they want
At the end of the day this shit bout money...he played out the gauranteed portion of his contract...he is 31...with 3 more years left
thats why I say they need to stop doing these 6 and 7 year deals with only 2 yrs guaranteed money...when they can just take the two and only have to worry about the franchise tag...which is still gauranteed money
