Yes, you'd be paying AB for 2-3 years. That's the Bills window to make a Super Bowl run while Allen is still on his rookie deal. It's highly unlikely that they will be able to find a rookie this year or next who would come close matching AB's production during that 2-3 year window. That's why you make the deal. Of course there's risk, but there really isn't any evidence that Brown's performance is going to fall off a cliff in that time period. He is in great physical condition and really has never been hurt, other than the time Vontae Burfect took his head off. And yes, Brown was a pain in the ass this past year, when he was trying to get a new deal and, frankly, when he started losing targets to JuJu Smith-Schuster, but he's been in the league a long time and he didn't really have a history of that sort of behavior. I would look for Beane to bounce back by possibly making a play for OBJ or Julio Jones. It wasn't a stupid idea, but it's unfortunate that it leaked out the way it did. It was an embarrassment for sure, but I'm not sure that's OBD's fault.

Absurd. There have been plenty of highly productive WRs over 30 recently: Larry Fitz, AJ Green, Julio Jones...oh, wait, a 32 year old WR just won the Super Bowl MVP! Brown’s really has no drop off since turning 30. It’s ridiculous to assume he won’t be really good for at least 2 more years. And if you’re still arguing that WR is a “complementary” position, then the NFL passed you by a long time ago.

One Bills Live was hilarious today.

Brown and his agent have been talking to the media for weeks about his new contract demands. None of this would have been a surprise to the Bills. The idea that that’s why the deal died is pure OBD spin, and yet folks here are lapping it up... -
SI.com: Why Antonio Brown's Trade to the Bills Fell Through
mannc replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I agree, but it would not be hard for the Bills to know in advance—just by reading the papers or Twitter—approximately what kind of money he is looking for. -
SI.com: Why Antonio Brown's Trade to the Bills Fell Through
mannc replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yolo, no offense, but I'm calling BS on this story. The Bills had to have had a very good idea how much Brown would be asking for before they opened up serious discussions with Pittsburgh. The Bills have tons of cap space and they had to expect that Brown would be looking to become the highest paid WR in the league (until the next contract extension). I don't believe $ was the what made this fall apart. I think this is just the Bills trying to spin the situation to make themselves look better after being left at the alter. There's no question that Brown is playing games and he's now got the Steelers painted into a corner. His goal is to either force a trade to the team he wants or force the Steelers to cut him so he becomes a UFA. Buffalo just was not on his shortlist. -
ASU WR K’Neal Harry is projected as a 2nd rd prospect.

No, Metcalf looks like a damn advertisement for anabolic steroids. Caveat emptor! -

Very true. WR seems to be a difficult position to draft well. In 2017 there were three guys taken in the top 9 and all have struggled to varying degrees. And the fourth receiver off the board (Zay) has been far from great. And in 2016, the four first round WRs have been flat out awful (alright, Fuller has been OK)... -
Report: Bengals looking to trade WR John Ross
mannc replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Ross has definitely gotten off to a slow start in the NFL due to injuries and who knows what else. But he's got blazing speed and he was highly productive in college, playing at the highest level. Seems like a pretty good investment of a fourth round pick, if that in fact is the asking price. -
Jordan Phillips is trying to recruit players.

A guy who didn’t get along with Adam Gase can’t be all bad. -
