I was on BBMB then.  It was craziness there.  Never occurred to me there was parallel universe of craziness elsewhere, like here.  Those days were wild. 

 

This will be more quickly.

I mean we are on 36 pages and Rapoport is doubling down. As I remember there were conflicting reports with the Mario Free Agency period as well. Which just added to the craziness.

I have never said it since he’s been here but if Beane gave multiple firsts for a receiver who HAD to be traded he should be fired instantly

I don't think he would give that up obviously but when was the last time the best receiver was traded?  In 2019, I don't know what kind of compensation that requires, especially in this weird situation.

Just now scrolled on NFLN The Bills landed Antonio Brown in stunning fashion late Thursday night. FWIW

I refuse to watch that network. But did that really scroll on the bottom? I'm gonna have to turn it.

 

I guess it's not refuse, I just think it's crap.

 

Edit- I'm watching it. If the AB trade was that official why would they be scrolling some garbage to 50?

It's really weird for me.   Happen to be on the other side of the world right now and it's 6:45 Friday night.   You'll be watching this story all day and I will be asleep dreaming of Allen to AB. I hope I waken up to some good news.

The only thing with AB is everyone knew that they had to trade him. Which kills the compensation. His value was at an all time low given his stupid mouth the last few weeks and the Steelers GM saying they were trading him. If it goes through I’m really hoping it’s a round 3 with a couple players attached. Maybe ivory and Zay or something. 

I have a fear it’s the #1 though.

Yeah I’ll lose a ton of sleep knowing a bunch of people who think AB is the problem think I lack class. I’ll go ahead and side with the dude who’s boss has so much class he called his employees whiny children. Not to mention that the other guy in this equation, Roethlisberger, is at best a scumbag, and at worst a rapist, but AB is for sure the cancer in that locker room. I think maybe an organization has lost complete control because they have an awful coach and an out of touch owner.

The rumor was they swap their first round picks and maybe their 2nd's as well.

Because AB might be going to Buffalo. I did the same thing. I fell asleep early woke up at 3 east coast time, and made the mistake of checking my phone and haven't slept since.

 

For what it's worth, if it wasn't you, someone texted in wgr the same thing.

I thought this was just internet crap, but just heard while walking the dog on NFR, they are even reporting it.  I’m not saying I believe the rumor, but never McD would even consider it.  So much for getting some stud OL in free agency.  AB if true will eat up too much cap.  I don’t want him, but Beane doesn’t have me on speed dial.

 

There’s no denying he is one of the top 3 WR’s in the league, but I just don’t see McD being able to reign AB in and shut up to the media.  

Expand  

You do realize we will spend about 50 mil of that cap.

If we get Brown, that opens major doors for other players in free agency to come here.  He could jump on the recruiting train and load this team up.

Expand  

 

Not only that, the team is less talent deficient now which makes buffalo more attractive by default. They’re multiple years away from being relevant without major trades or free agents.
