The Bills Blog Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 One Bills Live was hilarious today. Despite the strong and widespread reports that AB essentially nixed the trade, Murph and Tasker continued to deny it and scolded every caller who mentioned it. It was embarrassing. Damage control straight from OBD. Clearly trying to control the message. They also claimed that there is not a stigma around Buffalo despite the flogging the city took from the media and NFL players during this ordeal. Interesting that as soon as Bulldog came on, the message was totally different. 4 1

Doc Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 I can just as easily see Brown nixing the deal (for various reasons) as I can see the Bills nixing it because they didn't want to make him the highest-paid WR. In the end I'm just glad it didn't happen. 9

Interesting that as soon as Bulldog came on, the message was totally different. The clown that said it was a done deal tried to save face, claiming Brown nixed the deal. Reports are coming out that the Bills were told AB wanted a new contract to be the highest paid receiver in the league. Thats what nixed this trade. Good on Beane. I’m glad this guys not coming here. 1

AB is the 180* exact opposite of what I thought our coach and FO wants from our players. Edited March 9, 2019 by Real McCoy

I was excited to think of a talent like AB on the Bills, but definitely weary of him as a person and "me first" player... 2 2

It's like some of them have been in a coma for the past several decades and never realized that certain players and coaches don't want to play in Buffalo. And this this is an embarrassment. 1 1

I don't really think anyone is blaming the Bills here. Either they didn't want to overpay or AB nixed the deal(FAR MORE LIKELY). It doesn't really serve us well to deny the likely truth. Easier to move on as a city and an organization if you accept reality and do what you can to change it. 1
RobbRiddick Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Let's kidnap AB, cover him in wing sauce and feed him to John Murphy 2 6

ngbills Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Even more funny is Tasker asking Greg Cossell (?) if Brown is a #1 WR. He is maybe #1 in the league and your asking if he is a #1? Seriously... 1 2
