Pretty glad about this. Especially if Brown was going to cost significant compensation. He would hold out if he wasn’t the highest paid receiver in the league in a few years. If he isn’t getting enough targets he would complain. If he isn’t winning he would complain. He’s also older as far as receivers go. If the compensation was next to nothing (a 4th or worse) then I’m disappointed because it would have been worth the distraction.

They're going to HAVE to draft Metcalf now to appease the fans -- AND the players who were fired up. Also, fans and players took a LOT of insults about Buffalo in the past 8 hours.

speak for yourself. I wasn't insulted, nor do I care if there were any insults to the snowflake fans that are/were whining because they didn't waste picks/contract for a diva wr.

 

last I counted there is still plenty of time to "appease" the fans before opening day.

Lots of trash wide receivers out there in FA that will fit right into this Process. 

For sure. Free agency is horrendous this year for WR. I have a gut feeling we end up with Devin Funchess.

Brown is stupid if he didn't want to come to Buffalo; good for Beane in not playing around.

 

On what planet are the Steelers going to be a good team over the next 5 years or so?  That is over.  I don't know what teams Brown thinks he could go to that would be a better long term situation.  Packers?  Eagles?  Seahawks? Chargers? and maybe Panthers are all I can come up with.

Bruce Smith complained about his contract every year, wanted to be the highest paid...Andre Reed complained about not getting the ball enough...Jim Kelly criticized teammates and got Chris Burkett released....

People are happy now that we almost had the best WR in football but didn’t pull it off. If that trade actually happened, it might have been the single best thing the Bills have done in the post super bowl era. He’s a headache...He’s also a first ballot hall of famer and the best WR in football. The guy is also still in his prime unlike the basically done T.O. You win games with good players. At some point the silliness around off the field attitudes have to not matter as much. You have to actually be good and good players make you good usually. What a shame.

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. 

 

 

 

Unless the agent wants to get the put the Bills under media pressure in order to get a contract worked out etc.

Packers or Eagles is my guess.

Are prime years for a WR really 31+?

You checked all the boxes on being a real man..

 

A) call people snowflakes

B) call a great receiver a diva

 

Who talks like this?
