What about Antonio Brown instead of a draft prospect?

We all know the issues... Rams short on cash to sign him, his destructive personality etc. Yet he solves Brandon Cooks departure with not needing to waste a draft pick when the team has so many other needs.

Most of all the wide receiver corps will be lethal.

Sign him to a 1 year prove it deal. As of this moment he has to be really humbled by a his antics.

At the end of the day he is easily a 65-80 catches/1000+ yard guy. NO person we draft will come close and it frees up a draft selection to use it where it is needed most on an upgrade at RB, ILB, OLB, C, G.

Please don't knee jerk reaction and say no think it out. My guess he will be a choir boy hoping to get another chance. His agent has told him look at Kapernick and others. Owners are not putting up with that diva bullshit anymore.

Thoughts?

AB is a beast and I don't care about personalities as much as others, but we have a solid, tall, physical group with Kupp, Woods, Reynolds, Higbee, and Everett with not much cap to spare this year. Other years I would say sure.

My feelings are somewhere between "fucking hell no" and "absolutely fucking not" on this one.

Brown is extremely unstable, more unstable than I was at my worst, and my mental illnesses included bipolar depression and symptoms of schizophrenia. There's simply no way to trust him, and it's not like he was trustworthy from the start.

I don't think that seeing him physically become a 'Choir Boy' would convince me that he will be a choir boy. lol

I'll Pass. Some people (in life and in football), are a net-negative.
 
I was thinking the same thing. I just worry that dude is unteachable at this point. He obviously has some mental issues and no team is gonna take a chance on a player like that. If they do it will be a one year deal w heavy incentives. If we could pull off a contract like that then I wouldn't mind as much
 
(n):hellno::wtf: In case you’re still wondering I think he’d be more trouble than he’s worth, and he worth squat right now.
 
I am in the pass camp.

As a player for game day... would be interested. Problem is the other 165hrs/wk. So, no.

I'm with most on here.
AB isn't coming off as a Diva. He's coming off as unstable.

I know we could probably get him at a very reasonable price, but I would pass.

He's a head case whose ego will overshadow his performance on the field
