DCbillsfan Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) Just saw it on NFL breaking news. They said Bills have been negotiating all along per Ian Rappoport. They are still working out the details but agreement is in place. Edited March 8, 2019 by DCbillsfan
Turk71 Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 8 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: Analytics can only grade the players on what the players are asked to do. Smith-Schuster was not asked to run the variety of routes that AB was. Smith-Schuster is a very good player but he isn't AB. Smith-Schuster graded slightly better on PFF but his degree of difficulty was way below AB. AB is the best receiver in the National Football League - he can run every route, he has terrific hands, he can beat press, he is precise enough to beat zone. He had more than double Smith-Schuster's touchdowns - not least because when the field compresses in the redzone you need someone who can do much more route wise. He is brilliant. Now he is 30 years of age and a total diva, no doubt.... so there are reasons to be wary about the Bills trading for him if it is at a high cost.... but his play on the field is simply beyond question. Good summation of the situation, but he is a problem until proven otherwise.

Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 1 minute ago, The Jokeman said: Agents. Yes, but I don't think agents are behind the Ian Rapoport leak. I think they probably were shocked by the trade and then demanded franchise QB money. AB's agents probably told Schefter no deal yet because they want the contract 1st.

DCbillsfan Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 They interviewed a female reporter who covers the Steelers alot -Aditi forget her last name. She said she received a lot of calls from NFL teams. She said she the same response for all teams. She said Antonio Brown is by far the hardest working player she has ever been around. He will help young players on both sides of the ball. 1

Yep, he said something like "this [negotiations with Buffalo] was going on all along in the background" or something like that, to justify missing the story initially, I guess.

I've heard him interviewed a few times, he seems to love the job but it does seem exhausting to an extent. Then again he's just networking and communicating, many people are working far harder jobs for much less pay. Either way I'll agree, they probably don't sleep well. And why's this mod trying to troll me? Lol 1

Being out of the playoffs by Halloween [or Week 1 of the season in 2018] is only so exciting. In the offseason, we can all dream we are going to win the Superbowl!

AB will not be a locker room problem for Buffalo unless Josh Allen can't get him his targets. 1

ExWNYer Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 21 minutes ago, Boca BIlls said: He was never coming here... Not happening, AB doesn't want to come here and the Bills never really made an offer. 18 minutes ago, Boca BIlls said: They didn't they just wanted to know his going rate. AB would never come here to begin with so this is a dead issue. HTH do you know that he would never come to Boca??
GunnerBill Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 I'll say this I believe Ian Rapoport is a good journalist. I don't think he would go out on a limb based on what one dodgy source has told him. If he is still saying "all signs pointing to Brown being a Bill" he has got more than one source telling him that OR his one source is very much "horse's mouth". That doesn't mean it will happen.... as a former journalist I know the perils of fast changing situations. But at the point Rapoport broke the story it was based on more than rumour and summation. He just isn't that kind of reporter. 1
