2019 Steelers Offseason/Draft Thread

[NTP66]

Pittsburgh Steelers superstar Antonio Brown was involved in a domestic dispute in January -- but he was NOT arrested ... TMZ Sports has confirmed with police.

Our sources tell us a woman contacted the Hollywood Police Dept. in Florida in mid-January and made a report alleging misconduct by Brown.

The details surrounding her allegations are unclear -- but we know cops investigated.

A rep for the Hollywood Police Dept. tells TMZ Sports, "Mr. Brown was involved in a domestic dispute. No arrests were made."

We've reached out to Brown's camp for comment multiple times -- so far, no word back.

It's just the latest in a string of off-the-field drama for Brown -- who's not only been feuding with the Steelers, but he's also being sued over an alleged furniture-tossing tirade back in April.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... the man behind the lawsuit claims Brown almost killed his 22-month-old son by throwing furniture off the balcony of his Florida apartment.

Brown claims the man is lying and has said in a statement, "I'm innocent."

Antonio has been in Florida training for the NFL season -- he's from Miami.

Story developing ...

Wouldn't be surprised if this was all made up by AB to get out of town.

He's tanking his value enough that the Steelers should just keep him, warts and all. That being said, he's tanking his value enough too, that the Steelers should trade him anywhere but his preferred destinations, just to make sure players don't act out this way going forward.

You'd never stop it completely, but I'd banish him to the Bills/Arizona/Jaguars as fast as possible.

[nocera]

Anywhere but the 49ers because **** him.

[Lemon Berry Lobster]

Send him to Cleveland. That way Burfict can still tee off on him, as well as all the Steelers his ticked off.

According to incident report filed to Hollywood, Fla. police: A mother of one of Brown's children dropped off their child and asked for reimbursement for a haircut. Brown is accused of pushing her to the ground. The woman said she injured her wrist in the fall. More to come.

The Steeler are gonna end up lucky to get a late round pick for this mess.

The Steeler are gonna end up likely to get a late round pick for this mess.

And they'll use it to draft another Artie Burns.

Trade him to one of those teams that has a quarterback that throws the ball right-handed, but is probably left-handed.

No we use 1sts on talent like that.

[willeyeam]

if he gets charged can we cut him and get out of the contract?

[nocera]

Couldn't we cut him right now if we wanted? Also, why would you let him walk for nothing?

[NTP66]

Yeah, somebody will always be willing to give up something for him, even if he was caught beating somebody in video while screaming "my name is Antonio Brown and business is BOOMIN'!".

if we could let him walk without a cap hit vs trading him and keeping dead money towards the cap I would be happy

[tifosi77]

If there's something like a morals clause in AB's player contract that would allow the team to cut him and cancel his dead money hit, then cutting him wouldn't really be 'for nothing'. It would be for freeing up $18 million in cap space, and whatever free agent(s) that might be. And 2019 is a fairly deep year for defensive UFAs, particularly second- and third-level defenders, which is where the Steelers have the biggest holes to plug imo.

With all the tampering talk going on in the NBA right now, how is photo shopping yourself in another teams jersey while still under contract with another not some sort of violation?

The NBA's approach to tampering is moronic imo. They fined Anthony Davis for saying he wouldnt sign a new deal with his current team and wanted to be traded and therefore tampered with himself (giggity), which is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. The NFL is already run an incompetent, overly-officious petty dictator, the last thing they need to do is fine Brown for the 49er photoshop.

As DJ Khaled says, never tamper yourself
