Sounds like a guy who doesn't really care about playing anymore or he wants to get released instead of traded to have control of where he goes.

No trade partner wants to hear that.

I can't recall any player trying to play hardball with the Steelers and coming out on top. No way they're going to just release arguably the best WR in football. Especially knowing that it would be HIGHLY likely that would have the way for him to go to the Patriots.

It's funny all these AB threads bashing him, but I guarantee you the people bashing him would be his biggest fans if he was traded to Carolina.

I kind of want this happen just to laugh at all the negative comments afterwards.lol

I would be excited and certainly hope for the best, but I'd rather we use that cap space and draft assets to shore up far bigger roster weaknesses.

For a guy wanting to be traded and call his own shots as to where he goes, he's probably getting dangerously close to going down that "conduct detrimental to the team" road with a franchise who probably wouldn't hesitate to take that road.

I agree and part of me likes what he is doing.

I think we'd all love to have AB it's just at what cost?

If he can figure out how to get released I'm sure Cam will be his first phonecall.

 

This. In a vacuum, who wouldn't want to add one of the NFL's elite WRs? The problem is that nothing happens in a vacuum. We'd have to trade valuable draft assets to get him and he'd eat up the majority of our remaining cap space. Adding AB would virtually guarantee that nothing else of substance gets addressed via FA and given our holes that would be a problem.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By OldhamA · Posted

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
