Back and forth on Bryant

[Mr. Scot]

They won't, unless they will, unless they won't, unless they...

 

[Panthers8969]

sounds like they didn't get any good offers so they're playing hard to get now

[LinvilleGorge]

Yep, sounds like they're publicly fishing for a better offer.

The Kyrie effect in case it gets out that they've been taking calls he won't get mad like Kyrie and request a trade again.

Kyrie left because LeBron is a terrible teammate not because the Cavs were entertaining calls about him.

Would love Bryant! Dude has superstar written all over him.

We offer a 3rd....they decline and counter with our 2nd. We pass and decide on a 3rd this year + 5th in '19 maybe.

If we let Norwell and Star walk, we should net a couple of solid comp picks next year. Gotta think one third this year (essentially KB for Bryant) and a later pick next year (means nothing with the comp picks) would get us a helluva playmaker for Cam.

Maybe the moves we're making now aren't necessarily for Norwell/Star/Watkins, but a potential extension for Martavis after 2018. He will be in his prime on a prove-it deal. 

Martavis Bryant 2018 contract: $705k

Jarvis Landry 2018 expected contract: $14M/yr.

Sammy Watkins 2018 expected contract: $7-8M/yr.

Now, maybe Bryant wants a new contract upon the trade which could get tricky given his past...but Bryant is my numero uno desire for this offense heading into 2018.

I was going off that report he got mad after he heard they were talking to people openly about trading him. But yea Bron suspects as a teammate unless your Dwade.

  Sounds like a good plan. I’ve been leaning towards this scenario for awhile now. Like the comp pick angle and upside is tremendous. I’ll risk a 3rd(and something late) for that. And the salary gives some freedom to address another position by signing a player that gets cut.

  Although I think they are trying to drive his price, the Steelers would be better off keeping him. They are still SB contenders and Bryant gives them great insurance in case of injury. Plus he’s one nice 3rd WR that allows JuJu to play the slot. Hard to say if that’s worth a 3rd to them, at this time. But Bryant isn’t going to be happy being the 4th option in the passing game, and they may just want to get something while they can. 

[top dawg]

Yeah they'll keep him until the price is right.

Even if they do keep him,  I bet they'll be drafting his replacement regardless.  That should piss him off even more.
