Magnum Force Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 At least it is over now and he isn't going to the Patriots or the Saints where he would prosper and possibly play for a Superbowl or 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metzelaars_lives Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 There is no other way to spin it: the Bills look bad. They couldn’t beat that? Are the Bills that much less of a desirable destination than the Raiders?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuSeYiN_NYC Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 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... 4 minutes ago, CommonCents said: They didn’t want to pay him.

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? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 4 minutes ago, HuSeYiN_NYC said: People was out here talking bout swapping firsts for AB smh... Raiders got him for a 3rd and a 5th?

This time the Bills said no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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...

DBilz2500 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Oakland/Vegas is seen as a much happening city than Buffalo especially to a young rich single black man-plenty more prostitutes, much warmer and more gambling. No way he’d ever agree to come to Buffalo.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
