Questions of the 2019 season: What do you think of trade compensation?

the Pittsburgh Steelers have left Latrobe and are back at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex, also known as the "South Side Facility". We are already in the regular season, where everything is magnified and, you know, really matters. The team works through the ups and downs and dramas that go through a typical Steelers season.

How do beginners behave? What about players that the team has recruited in a free agency? Who lacks time with injuries, and when will they be back? What are the coaches saying about what they are going to do this season that might be different from what it was a year ago?

These are the kinds of questions among many that we explore daily and will continue to do. Football has become a hobby all year long and there is always a question to ask, although there is rarely a concrete answer, as I have learned in my years of practice.

Question: What do you think of the compensation declared by the Steelers for exchanging Antonio Brown?

Late last night, Adam Schefter among others, including Antonio Brown himself, stated that the Broad Receiver and the Steelers had agreed in principle to exchange it for Oakland Raiders. The announced ROI was a third and fifth round pick in the NFL 2019 project. To arguably the high-end receiver in the game.

That's a lot less than the Steelers wanted for him. their initial asking price would have been a first round choice and then some. Then they came back to a first-round pick when they did not have enough interest. When all was said and done, he relapsed into a third round choice plus a fifth.

I imagine that if the Raiders had reduced their numbers in the second round, the Steelers would have gotten their second round pick. But as Oakland has one of the top picks in the second round, they decided it was too important a resource to give up. So they sent their third and fifth places.

If it helps people feel better, the Steelers can group these two choices together to exchange them for the second round and then you can say that they've finally got a second round pick for Antonio Brown. It is a realistic possibility that they do it too.

Brown did not really give the Steelers any attractive options. He more or less let it be known that he was not going to play for them or that it was just going to be a major problem if they were trying to keep him, and nobody pulls anything out of there. this arrangement.

With this ongoing agreement – which, again, is not official until the start of league New Year – both parties are getting something. Brown "certainly wins" this exchange, coming out of the city and a nice increase in addition, but he has already won months ago.
