Why would they be willing to trade for him but not pay him? They have plenty of cap space it’s only 3 years and the last year isn’t even guaranteed.

Rosenhaus is on tape telling AB that he didn't even give us a number because he didn't want to go there. Borwn said Yeah don't even waste your time on the bills. Then there was a song and dance to save face and now Terry says that AB made the decision. It's pretty black and white = it fell apart because AB didn't want to come here and no $ was even given to the bills... 2 2

It doesn't exclude him deciding not to come to Buffalo because of what Brandon said. Had he been traded to a good team, meaning not Oakland which was one of the worst, I'd be less inclined to take this position. 4 minutes ago, Chemical said: Why would they be willing to trade for him but not pay him?

You see if he'll play under his old deal so that you can cut him easily if he declines or becomes a cancer. Edited March 27, 2019 by Doc

DisplacedBillsFan Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 Who cares. I usually go strictly by the guidelines of the "if you don't care, why did you click on it and comment" mentality, which is why I've skipped over most other AB threads, but the fascination with a player we didn't get and why he didn't come to Buffalo has gotten ridiculous.

He had a contract already, skippy. What are you trying to say? His new deal is only 2 years guaranteed so after next year he can be cut with only 300k dead cap. You think that was the deal breaker for Beane with all the cap space we have this year and next?

Bangarang Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 Basically, AB wanted nothing to do with us. It is what it is and it’s over with. 1

Cap space isn't an issue. And who knows what he was asking for from the Bills. 2 minutes ago, Bangarang said: Basically, AB wanted nothing to do with us. It is what it is and it’s over with. And if that's the way it happened, I'm glad. I never wanted him here in the first place and I expect you'll see him pull this same stunt in 2 years.

The Bills Blog Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 1 hour ago, The Red King said: As I said before, this looks like a diva throwing a tantrum because someone (Buffalo) didn't bow to his demands. Why would he be this fixated on Buffalo otherwise? Buffalo had the audacity to not give the legend in his own mind everything he wanted. If I was a FA and said to my agent, "You know, not Buffalo." then got Vegas, I'd be happy. I didn't want to go to Buffalo, I didn't go there. That would be the end of it. I wouldn't be like "You know who sucks? Buffalo.", "Buffalo is my least favorite city in New York.", "Did I mention Vegas = Yay!, Buffalo = Boo!", "I could have gone to Buffalo, but didn't want to.", "You know a city I don't like? Buffalo.", "Buffalo is a city full of doo-doo heads!", "Man, I'm glad I didn't go to Buffalo." ...etc. For someone that supposedly wanted nothing to do with Buffalo, he certainly can't stop talking about it, can he? That's the behavior of someone who is seriously butt-hurt, not someone who simply didn't want to come here from the start. Makes no sense in the context of this audio recording. AB isn't the one who's butthurt.

The Bills GM wanted him here and I’m glad. Almost got one of the top players at the biggest need position. Guess you’ll have to be mad a Beane now for trying.

Agent 91 Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 This dude is seriously falling apart. The stuff he is tweeting is really sad now 1
