Elite Poster Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 Beane is 0 for this off-season for his anti-media schtick. Just shut up and do the job. 1

Mr. WEO Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 12 hours ago, NoSaint said: I’ll refer back to my comment last week that beane seems to be excellent at telling bills fans what they like to hear. Regardless what I think of his work as GM (mixed) he is a pro at branding this rebuild and this helps feed a lot of fans dislike if the media and us against them feeling. I think he is quite alright playing the guy that “gets it” for the fan base. I don’t think he’s miffed as much as he plays off it to his own advantage. Exactly. And it works. Although certainly the fans dislike of the media predates him, he is certainly exploiting it. There is no other reason for him to mention this stuff on the radio.

I think Ansah's reps used the willing media to try to drive up the price. Beane called it publicly, and didn't raise his price privately, effectively forcing Ansah to the Seahawks. Beane is pretty calculated. He had a value set for Ansah and he wasn't going to exceed it, especially not from a media report about another team becoming the favorite. 4

Agents and reps are always going to do what they need to to drive up the price, that's their job. For Beane to call out media members and go public with it all looks really petty to me.

I don't see anything wrong with Beane basically saying "Negotiations were going well. If you want something talk to me directly." Which is pretty much what his quotes boil down to.
IgotBILLStopay Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 Wait Wait. This was Ian Rapaport (who has been known to be wrong before). Ansah may not be a Seahawk yet. Bills can easily beat 5.5 mill guaranteed if they want.
MJS Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 Well, just a short while ago the media claimed that Buffalo was the front runner to sign Ansah. So really they had their bases covered.

Except Beane appeared to doubt Rapaport's source was Ansah's representation. If credible, the source was likely someone from the Seahawk organization.

What was reported was Brown to Buffalo was a done deal except Brown said no because "Buffalo" Now at all what The AP reported.
