Right off the bat, let's all agree, Brandon Beane is a brilliant fella. He never intended to acquire a quitter, headcase, me first WR like AB. Here's how it went down: 1) The Steelers knew we are in need of a WR. They set a deadline for teams to make offers by Friday. 2) Beane calls Steelers on Tuesday to ask "What are you looking for as compensation for the "highly respected" AB. The Steelers make some outrageous demand (ex. a 1st rounder this year and second rounder next year) 3) Beane says "Hmmm, that sounds pretty reasonable. Let me check with my owner and coach, etc" Beane hangs up the phone and laughs "This will be fun" 4) Steelers start talking to other teams but keep Beane in mind. They call Beane back "Have you thought any more about it?" Beane "Yeah, sure...how about first this year and a fourth next year?" Steelers "How about a first and third this year?" Beane "Let me call you back." He starts laughing again. No intention of signing AB whatsoever, but knows other teams are now being waved away by Steelers because they are about to get a sweet deal from Bills. 5) As the other teams walk away from negotiating, the Steelers start to get nervous...they give info to LaConjecture and RapReport. 6) Beane is busy eating a cob salad when the phone rings. Steelers: "Are we doing this?" Beane: "Who is this?" 7) Beane issues statement about what a great player AB is and, unfortunately, they were unable to get a deal done. Steelers are now left in a bad negotiating position because they spurned several other suitors. AB's price went down all thanks to Brandon Beane and the greatest "catfish" technique we will ever see.

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/den/2018.htm What is the attraction to this guy? His name? He allowed 34 sacks with a line that has more talent than our own 2018 Oline. He calls the blocking schemes. We allowed the same number of sacks with rookies and a turnstile center pairing. Get off the bandwagon folks. It’s all agent driven.
