I think they'll offer him one, but they'll be wary of his age. As hard as he works, he has to slow down sooner or later. Maybe he'll have an injury history by then.<br /><br />I think we offer him a decent contract, but someone else offers a monstrous contract. Sort of an Alan Faneca type of situation. By then, Pittsburgh will be wondering how they'll keep all their young defensive stars, and they'll take a 3rd round comp for Antonio.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-89698656693667707782015-07-16T12:39:27.134-04:002015-07-16T12:39:27.134-04:00I expect there to be some contract problems next o...I expect there to be some contract problems next offseason regarding brown. unless the steelers pay up, I don't think he will show up until the season starts. if bell and brown have similar seasons again, the steelers just can't afford to keep both and still field a strong team. they will need to pick one and move on.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00522674795780346620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-3954992577354415202015-07-16T11:46:27.908-04:002015-07-16T11:46:27.908-04:00I think Brown signing a new contract with the Ste...I think Brown signing a new contract with the Steelers will have a lot to do with Big Ben. If Ben's play declines over the next two years I don't think AB will be that excited to remain a Steeler. He could make as much or more money elsewhere and likely with an established QB who will give him a better chance of winning a SB than a declining Ben or whoever the Steelers eventually draft to replace Ben.Bytornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-47469647851167932902015-07-16T10:27:11.377-04:002015-07-16T10:27:11.377-04:00The wild card is Bryant.

I don't think Bryant will ever be the complete player Brown is but he has the size to be a touchdown machine, and points are what win games, not getting 5 yards and 50 catches per game. <br /><br />We'll see what happens. You can bet that Brown will be much more aggressive about getting a new contract next year, with 2 years on his contract he would be tradeable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-85053934740079357892015-07-15T21:14:11.601-04:002015-07-15T21:14:11.601-04:00I believe Brown is under contract for the next thr...I believe Brown is under contract for the next three seasons, no? Wasn't that the storyline when his agent was manufacturing the story earlier in the year: that in no way would the Steelers renegotiate a contract with 3 years left on it? He'll be 30 going into the season after he reaches free agency (2018), and not exactly in the same position as Thomas and Bryant find themselves today. Hope he sticks around like Hines, though.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04217459592220032446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-50888154121933418772015-07-15T17:29:03.775-04:002015-07-15T17:29:03.775-04:00Dale, I think Brown will get a third contract.

If Shamarko has a great year, then I could see the front office also trying to keep him. Hopefully the cap going up will continue to help. Gotta go for it while you have Ben for the next 4 to 5 years. datruth4lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17491881345131204471noreply@blogger.com
