The Bills and Steelers agreed on a trade. Then they had to see what AB may want even though he was already under contract. When Rosenhaus told him about the imminent trade, that was Brown's response. And the deal was sunk. That’s actually what Beane said too 1
Lurker Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Big Whoop. I wouldn't go to Buffalo either if I was in AB's position. Picking the city and organization you work for is a once in a lifetime opportunity for any pro football player... 1

The dude is an egomaniac. He's "celebrating" going to the Raiders. The whole thing is rather entertaining, and I don't for one moment think it's reflecting poorly upon Buffalo or the Bills. Was I this big of a homer??? ?

But you said city and organization. Seems like one for Raiders and one for Bills. Plus 33% of his contract is in a ***** city, Oakland.

Right - He obviously doesn’t come out and say “it didn’t go anywhere because AB had no interest in negotiating with us,” but it’s clear where it broke down and we can assume the rest from AB’s petty warz
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 ...and we would CERTAINLY get NOTHING but the truth from RosenOUThaus......
Alphadawg7 Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) YAWN - WHO CARES Seriously, who really cares? Why does this bother anyone? Why does it matter if he did or did not want to come here? Honestly cant believe this is still being talked about...and yes I know its the offseason, but man let it go. This on going story is like some dude who got married and has a great wife, but still cant get over some hot, but old, skank in a bar turning them down one time. Edited March 26, 2019 by Alphadawg7

He will be past his prime when Raiders start winning again.
atlbillsfan1975 Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 news like this feeds the fan base who think nothing good can happen for the Bills. I didn’t want Brown and could care less how many ways he says he didn’t want to play for Buffalo.
Daisy days Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 I mean if I was in the nfl and my agent said it’s the dolphins.... I would tell him not to waste his time with them..... clearly dude is just not a bills fan.....
Warcodered Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Honestly this isn't really anything but fuel for the team this year.

Picking the city and organization you work for is a once in a lifetime opportunity for any pro football player... This is a bit of a straw man as I don't know that anyone is arguing whether he has the right to not go to Buffalo. Personally, I lived in Buffalo and left -- and for most of the time, if I had a choice of a job in my field (not that i really have a "field" per se) in NYC or Buffalo, I'd choose NYC. Lately, we've talked about moving to WNY, but that's mostly b/c I've been doing part-time, we're not really taking advantage of NYC anyway, and prices here are exhausting. If I were a football player, I'd like to think I'd pick Buffalo b/c of the community vibe and adulation of fans, but who knows, and unless I stumble upon a reverse Zoltar machine, I'm pretty sure that will never be a scenario :). The issue in this thread is his incessant need to rag on the town, team, and fanbase -- all this after he pretty much won and got all he wanted -- the team, the contract, and everything. It's bizarre, and while we should have a thick skin, it's just plain dumb. Edited March 26, 2019 by thurst44

All we was get embarrassed as a franchise and have unnecessary shots taken at Buffalo. 1

Doc Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Sure he did. The Bills are in his head and Brown is doing damage control because he knows the Bills rejected him first.
Chill Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) Can’t blame the guy for not coming here. Buffalo is top 3 worse market in the NFL, might be the worse. Plus the economic conditions and high taxes make Western/Northern NY undesirable. This will work out for both parties, obviously he is not a process guy. Edited March 26, 2019 by Chill

It's bizarre, and while we should have a thick skin, it's just plain dumb. I believe it’s not so much about Buffalo as it’s about: 1). We’ve been a bad team 2). The league perception of Allen isn’t close league wide as it is here Brown would have went to Green Bay if they traded for him. Qb and winning are the real ways you build culture. Hopefully, Allen will get there. 2 minutes ago, eball said: Dude, give it a rest. You may not have been as big of a homer, but you're certainly proving yourself to be one hell of a jackass. Because I call you out on your BS? You’re completely delusional if you believed what you wrote. 1
