They have the cap space to make a move like this and have shown in the past few seasons now a willingness to do things differently. Just not sure if they are at the place yet to be trading picks for players plus you add in the dynamic of bringing a potentially toxic element into a room that seems to really be good right now.
Picture what the addition of a toxic guy like Antonio Brown would do to the young WRs on this team in Higgins and Chase. Not sure I'd want that type of influence around the team. There is a lot of young guys and if you bring in a disgruntled player, it needs to be a guy that isn't going to continue that type of attitude in a new environment.
You are exactly in that place to do that. You use AB but he was a scrap heap signing. Think more like Trent Williams who was a vet who wanted to go to a contender. Could we have used Trent Williams? Of course. Was he ever going to consider coming here? Nope. So now we are at a point where if the right guy at the right position wanted out to chase a ring we are firmly in the “Buyers” position.
