I would be opposed to this for several reasons besides the ones I expressed earlier.

Martavis Bryant is a good talent at WR.  He has very good size and excellent deep speed.

But he was suspended for a year for substance issues.  While the Jaguars could use a WR with Bryant's skills, that risk of further lengthy suspensions is enough to make me pass.

Furthermore, sending Fowler to Pittsburgh would help the Steelers tremendously.  There was a game recently where, either during pre game or halftime, Cowher was very complimentary of Fowler. 

I've little doubt that Fowler would do well in that Steelers' scheme as a stand up rusher.  I do not want to help the Steelers in any way. 

We just played them in the playoffs.  They would be direct competitors with us in our quest for a Super Bowl.

Let them decline into mediocrity and worse.  They are WAY past due for it.

You see how quickly we empty out their stadium when we play them there...like a fart in an elevator.

Imagine that place in the midst of a stretch like we had here before this year.

To me it IS a good topic given all of the considerations.

It gets tougher if it came down to keeping Fowler vs Jack...or Ngakoue....or Cam Robinson.
