‘“OBJ is a heck of a talent, you know, where he was drafted, obviously he had the great catch, and, you know, he might have been the MVP of that Super Bowl, does he not tear the ACL,” said Beane. “Really unfortunate for a lot of things for him to have to retear that, but he’s a heck of a player. Everybody in this room knows who OBJ is. And so, I don’t have to tell you guys, and again, you know me – if we think he can help this team, we’d be crazy not to at least look into it.

But yeah, you can – a guy of his talent, of course, we would look into that.”’

New stadiums for the Titans and Bills: Who got the better deal?
‘”I think we got a much better deal. First off, Nashville is a joint county with Davidson County. It’s a metropolitan government between the city of Nashville and the county of Davidson and they they’re increasing their hotel and motel tax. They’re creating a special taxing district around the stadium to help pay for the costs associated with it. Erie County is putting $250 million and it’s a lot of money. Nashville and Davidson is putting in $760 million towards that stadium and then they have additional obligations going forward. We don’t have any additional obligations going forward. I’m very pleased with our deal,” says Poloncarz.’

I think that’ll be the tell of everything when I go out there and put good things on film and making them more comfortable with getting me out there.”’
