It’s amazing AB hasn’t landed on a team yet.  I think most teams are scared of him.  He’s a cancer.

 

Bell wanted out, Brown wants out. Sounds like rapie Ben is the cancer

The one thing we know is that Beane is willing to pursue a veteran reciever va trade. Does OBJ make sense? Julio or AJ Green? or lower tier guys like Allen Robinson?

We got left at the altar bottom line.

 

AB would’ve been huge. We could’ve taken TE at 9 and signed 2 FA lineman.

 

Make no mistake about it, this sucks.

 

Meh, i mean AB is great but he is on the back end of his career.  By the time JA is an all pro, AB will be a broken down mess and not worth whatever they were going to pay him.  Let's keep teh youth movement going and get JA a couple guys in the draft that can become his Andre Reed.

but yet people are willing to trade for OBJ.

 

Can't the same thing be said for him?

Giant's window is closed, imho.

have another cup. you're showing too much of your sensitive side. as for the old bird. hell, I was just basing that off "ol dirty b" but my sense of humor has seemed to have been tripped a nerve.

 

snowflake-comment was thrown at those whining about not signing the great ab who if those fans read in to more they would see he did not want to be here. yet, still crying.

 

diva-a player who seeks and demands attention and is generally a cancer in the locker room.

 

old bird-based off your handle

 

have a nice day

 

 

 

But explain the joke in another 3 paragraphs.

This at least shows Beane is willing to go get some talent this offseason and knows how to go and try to do it. 

 

Would AB have been right "right fit" culturally? Who cares, if he came and played this offense is completely different. But no sense crying over spilt milk.

 

Hopefully this means Beane is willing to invest serious money in the offensive line, maybe explore other dynamic WRs (not devin funchess or the other crappy FA WRs) via trade, and/or use draft capital to draft skill position.

I think it's his age. He'll be 31 when season starts and a team is expected to give up a high draft choice and pony up money. That's a lot of a aging reciever. Especially considering you don't know if he will even show up and not just retire if he doesn't like his destination. He tried to use retirement as leverage on Steelers but feel it is back firing on him and scaring teams off.

I'm not disappointed that a deal did not get done - actually, I would have wondered what they were doing?
 

I think and hope that the plan is to build for sustainable success.  I can't understand how trading assets for and then paying A LOT of money to a 30 year old WR to play on a team that is still a long way from having enough talent on offense to be serious contenders would be building towards that sustainable success goal.

 

Now, it might make sense for a team like the Eagles or Chiefs who already are contenders.

But what if those words are fitting?

Its going to take JA 2 more years to hit his prime?

 

What other excuses can we come up with today to make us feel better:

 

SO far:

1) Diva

2) Too expensive

3) Too old

4) Doest fit the time line

5) not blue collar enough

6) Doesnt fit the culture

7) Not a process guy

8 ) Cancer
