(UPDATE) Peter King lists the Panthers as one of four possible trade destinations for Steelers WR Antonio Brown

As for the future, the Steelers have time to let the situation cool off. The start of the 2019 league year is nine weeks away (March 13). I’d let this thing simmer down. In mid-February, Mike Tomlin could quietly meet Brown in some private place in Florida and they could have the face-to-face they’re going to need to have if this relationship can be salvaged. It’s worth salvaging; Brown, 30, is a dominant and affordable player, at $38.9 million over the next three years. But if he won’t agree to Tomlin’s way, all the way, Brown should be traded.

Who would trade for him? I’ll give you possibilities: Oakland (with four first-round picks in the next two drafts and a coach who won’t fear the distraction), Carolina (though the Panthershave spent profusely on Cam Newton weapons, here’s one that could make the Panthers two or three wins better);

I feel like people are making this a speculation trade destination (say that 5 times fast) because of Tepper.  He may want to pluck one from his former team just to stick it to them. That and the fact that Cam and AB worked out together this last offseason so there is already good rapport.  I don't see it happening, but it's interesting nonetheless.

This is just silly. King is just filling spaces with words. Another reporter with no actual knowledge of the team. Not like the truth is any less depressing but damn if facts matter.

AB sounds high maintenance and his best may be behind him at this point. Without Moore and Samuel's, I'd take a look but no thanks. We got two promising dudes on rookie contracts. Next please

the hell is he talking about? 

Ol Pete is still hating on Cam since he snubbed him. Now he’s stirring the pot with this hair brain idea which is all we need. Does he not know about cap space?

    • Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.
    • The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter. 
    • Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
