turftoe Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 I'm not so sure that I trust Brandon Beane's ability to trade for a wide receiver. Kelvin Benjamin, Corey Coleman, Antonio Brown. I'm glad the wheels came off this trade.

And nobody is saying this had anything to do with contract demands. The knucklehead just didn't want to come here. i for one am glad he ain't coming. f him don't need him and the karma that's gonna light him up. 2
CuddyDark Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 I don't think you give that for a player they must trade. You shouldn't be offering more than a 3rd round pick. It just goes to show Beane is in over his head. 1
MiltonWaddams Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 What a crazy, crazy 10 hours. 60 pages about a royal head case. Hope Brown retires at this point. Less divas would help the league. 1

PetermansRedemption Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Just now, ScottLaw said: Yea. I think it's obvious the deal didn't go through because AB didn't want to come here. Simple as that. Like I said earlier, I wouldn’t be surprised if AB doesn’t want to go anywhere at this point. I think he wants his outright release from Pitt and nothing else will satisfy him. 1

I happen to think we'll be winning real soon. He'd also be the beneficiary of Josh Allen's cannon arm all game, so plenty of deep balls for his diva clown self. Yeah, you do. I do too. But the Bills have been a bottom feeder of the league since Brown was in elementary school so it’s kinda easy to understand why he doesn’t want to come here. 1
Bangarang Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Was there ever a report of what the compensation was?
Buffalo03 Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 It's a swap of firsts not giving up a first outright

It basically says all the junk about process and culture is BS, which I have always thought it is. It means we're close and they think we have the infrastructure to handle a guy like Antonio Brown who's Top 2 at his position. I disagree with them here but we've learned something about Beane/McDermott we didn't know before last night.

billspro Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 This is for the best. Paying 20 + million per year on a long term deal for a 31 year old WR who lost half a step last year would not have turned out well.
wppete Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Anyone even know what we offered Pittsburgh for AB??????

CountDorkula Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 4 minutes ago, Bills2ref said: Expensive? This area isn’t even close to expensive. You can buy a decent home here for 100k, a beautiful one for 350k and a literal mansion for a million (see Brandon Beane’s house). Sure, if you really hunt you can find select markets that are cheaper in the US. The vast majority of US real estate markets are far higher than the Buffalo area. Hi, A decent home for 100K? Find me that. It's extremly expensive here, I've traveld for years and Buffalo is one of the most expensive cities to fly into and out of. A beautiful home for $350K is going to cost you 10K a year in property taxes. over a 30 year mortgage, thats 300K Other places with better weather and better paying jobs and lower income tax will have that at maybe 3K per year that's $210K i am saving for other AREAS over 30 years. I guess buffalo is so good that it is continued to be ranked at the top for people leaving.

Peter Schraeger through this out this morning...could have been to flip 1st rounders with Pitt...but he was clearly speculating and not sharing something he'd heard.
FeelingOnYouboty Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 We get Antonio Brown and 20th pick. Steelers get 9th pick. Basically Antonio Brown is worth a 2nd Round pick. I'd imagine the Steelers might've thrown another pick in to make it work. I'm fascinated by this because it means Beane wants to get to the late teens/early 20's and add another Day 2 pick. Something we all want. 1 1
