GETTOTHE50 Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Everyone is worried that Schefter, or whoever isnt confirming the trade. I bet you he's pissed that he didnt get the scoop first and is wanting to seed doubt in rapsheets word by not confirming.

Now you got Allen having to deal with a WR who is a headcase. It puts undue pressure on your franchise QB. I think the Bills end up regretting this move if it goes through and that is not knowing what the compensation will be and the contract they need to give for him to even show up in Buffalo. You don't watch the NFL much, do you? NFL is so ridiculously year to year that saying the Bills are "not ready to compete" is utterly ridiculous if you believe the Front Office found their QB. 1 minute ago, GETTOTHE50 said: Everyone is worried that Schefter, or whoever isnt confirming the trade.

dma0034 Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 I'm really excited to get Brown. Easily one of my favorite players.... but I'd be lying if I didn't say deep down I'm hoping this doesn't go through just because it would make Rapaport look TERRIBLE. 1

Swinging for the fences with a single flashy free agent name is not how you build a strong, championship contending team. This is nothing the Bills haven't tried many times in the past. Sabres too for that matter, at various points in their respective histories. This reminds me of trading up for Sammy Watkins with EJ Manuel as the QB, and in a slightly different way, buying Mario Williams for the largest defensive K in league history, at least at the time. PS: If the Bills really have swung for the fences in a bid to get Brown, does that mean everything we've been hearing for so long about "the process" and "culture" was just 100% BS?
Jasovon Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 This does not seem like a very Bills move under the new regime. Need to see what we are potentially giving up here draft capital wise before making a judgement, AB is definitely talented but it's not like we're a star WR away from going to the superbowl. 1

Maybe, but it definitely puts them in the playoff picture. Heres the thing, the colts, jets, and browns have cap space and are going to spend for the marquee players whether it be tyrell williams, leveon bell, or matt paradis. Its better for the bills to jump ahead of them and get the best WR available. Besides who would you rather pay big money to? Brown or Tyrell? 1

Beane has never had the capital to make big acquisitions before now, so how he would act with some money in his pocket has really been an unknown. The Bills needed a #1 WR and they may have just filled that whole in the roster before the draft with one of the top three WR's in the league. Hard to complain about that. Now if we can just grab a couple of O-Line free agents... 1
Alphadawg7 Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) WHAT IF: We trade for AB swapping firsts. Then draft Marquise Brown in the 2nd. Pats will be getting a Brown Out s**t storm twice a year! Boomin! GoBills! Edited March 8, 2019 by Alphadawg7

whatdrought Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 The unfounded consensus on this thread is that we’re getting Brown for an 11 pick trade back. Those arguing against the trade are doing 1 of two things: 1- arguing against adding a HOF player in the late prime of his career without knowing the compensation. 2- (using the above stated assumption) arguing against adding a HOF player in the late prime of his career for the literal price of Cordy Glenn. 2

No_Matter_What Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 My guess is that this was really just a (dirty) play from Steelers and it was leaked in order to make Raiders increase their offer. He will not come here, I am really not sure if it is good news or bad news. Probably bad news, since if Beane was to bring AB in here, I am pretty sure he'd had some prior agreement with him and he would normally play for Buffalo (without any drama).

Mcnabb was entering his prime going into his 6th year. What was the Eagles record leading up to those years. 1st in the NFC east for the 3 years prior to that losing in the conference championship each year.
