They didn’t want to pay him. Makes me wonder why you even engage in trade discussions if you’re not willing to pay the player. He made it pretty clear what his intentions were long before Thursday.

Screwed by their own player. Brown wanted a new deal. Him and his agent purposely tanked his trade value. As you saw in the Vic. C. article teams weren’t going to trade away high picks AND redo his deal. It was an either or scenario.

 

I hate the way the players control the NBA, this was a close second. Brown cost his employer value to better his own situation. Good for him I guess but bad for the league. 

This is going to backfire on the Raiders just watch

People was out here talking bout swapping firsts for AB smh... Raiders got him for a 3rd and a 5th? That's a sweet deal... 

 

But, it's still F Antonio Brown forever so can't wish him any luck... Raiders is officially on my hated teams list now because of that fool... Even though I can't fault AB 100%, I still have hate for him for how he made my team look...

 

I really can't wait til Buffalo becomes one of the premier teams man...

So I guess the fact that AB himself said he wouldn't report to Buffalo if he got traded to the Bills had nothing to do with it huh?

Raiders were the one team that made the most sense. Idk how the rest of the locker room there will feel about it though. Ownership willing to pay all this money to AB but werent willing to pay for players who were part of the team for years, with Mack & Cooper?

I'll admit that when i heard AB was coming here i got all excited, but now that it didnt happen I think it's for the best.

He'll probably have a good season this year but he could easily check out on the team as well.

 

I ‘d like to see the press conference when the media asks Gruden why he didn’t just keep Cooper.

 

Next the Raiders will overpay a free agent pass rusher and/or use their first pick on one.

I don’t understand why people are mad at AB. He is a (*^*&%^$^#but he did what he said he was going to do. He wanted to get paid.

 

If you’re worried about the Bills image look at Beane. Why was he entertaining trade discussions if he wasn’t willing to pay the guy? That’s a non starter, he should have known that.

Same agent as Shady, same exact play by DR and the player. This time the Bills said no.

No way trade comp was the issue.  We clearly handled that to get to the phase where we were negotiating with AB/Rosenhaus.  

 

We werent willing to pay him what Oakland was, and I’m 100% ok with that.   I’m sure Beane figured why not try, given the weak comp needed to cough up for an elite player, but nobody planned on it going public.  

 

We clearly weren’t alone given it took this long, and only one team was willing to pay a 31 year old WR close to $20 mil per with $30 mil guaranteed over 3 years.

That is a lot of coin to give a player that quit on his team

Like I said to your other post. You think it was because of money when AB clearly said if he gets traded to Buffalo he wouldn't report... That is clear disrespect. What's there to not hate about that?

That’s the same thing Shady said. It’s a player using his leverage to get a new deal and more money. It’s been covered for 3 days, catch up.

So who else flipped off the tv screen tonight when they saw this news?

 

Not me.  I'm glad we still have all those picks and pick guys that fit the culture.

Catch up on these (fill in the blank)... you not schooling me on nothing... You think you know inside information when you're just reaching and going into theories... I'm giving you the facts... The fact is, the man said straight up, he doesn't want to play for the Bills... The money stuff and Buffalo not wanting to pay him is just a theory you got...

You do realize that all this you are talking about are theories not proven out and just being discussed right?

 

Do you have insider info?
