Re: Hollywood working out w/ his cousin Antonio Brown
I get that you’re trying to make a larger point but C’mon now:
“In 2018, he wasn’t even the best WR on his own team”
AB was always the #1 player teams tried to stop. JuJu had a bit more catches and a chunk more yards but that was based on teams game planning to stop AB (double, bracket, rolled coverage) and AB still had 15! TDs

Re: Hollywood working out w/ his cousin Antonio Brown
That’s fair. I’ll plead guilty to hyperbole.
Any team would kill for 1300 yards and 15! TDs from a WR, no doubt.
But those numbers, apart from the TD total, are actually a decrease from his four-year average from ‘14-‘17. A pretty significant decrease at that.
Now, that could just be a ‘shit happens’ thing. In fact his 2016 numbers are almost identical. Could have been a product of things like losing Lev Bell, and having JuJu as a solid option across from him.
When WRs pass 30, you also have to consider that it could be a sign of slowing down. Much of ABs production was aided by Ben, the Pittsburgh line, the Pittsburgh scheme, etc.
So when talking from a purely football standpoint about signing AB, that’s something I’d be considering. Then when you add the OTHER stuff, that’s what makes it not worth finding out."Chin up, chest out."

Yes, if you sign him for cheap and he starts to cause problems, you can release him. However, that assumes that his presence causes no lasting damage what so ever, to the psyche of your team.
