We'll see. There is also this:

He did say on this IG account "Fake News." Not far fetched that AB said screw Buffalo. He doesn't have to sign anywhere else since he has an existing contract with the Steelers this year.

Looks like AB could be a New Orleans Saint. Apparently not completely finalized.

It actually is the case, he did say in more words or less, screw Buffalo

She seems borderline lunatic. You should have seen some of her IM's to the UB girl.

@Alphadawg7 Here's a few tweets from his twitter feed:

No thanks. Not another primadonna headcase.

Yes, true. The difference now is that I believe McD has a vision of the team he wants. Marrone seemed to muddle through things, along with his sidekick, Hackett. Rex was a disorganized boob and a blow-hard. Not to make this a Whaley thread, as we've had enough of those, but it is hard to see any GM succeeding with those two.

Let's not pretend that coaching (Marrone and Rex) didn't have a lot to do with the mediocre records.

Since AB voiced his displeasure with Big Ben and the Steelers, one would think any mature individual would welcome a change of scenery - especially a team on the rise. If AB, or anyone else, doesn't think the Bills are an up and coming organization, they haven't been paying attention. I'm not concerned about Rotoworld, ESPN, etc snark since that is what they do. Not out of the norm for them. As far as Buffalo being cold...NE, GB, Pittsburgh....none of them are cold, of course ?

This ^. Let's see what the two of them do this off season and upcoming season; they have a lot of capital to work with and have already made some badly needed staff changes. If the Bills are in the same position they're in now personnel wise, I'll be worried a year from now. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt and I think they'll come through.

I do not think it needs to be made complicated or a story fabricated. I believe Beane made a real attempt to trade with the Steelers for AB. The two teams got a deal worked out. Only problem is it needed to have AB's agreement for him to come to Buffalo. AB didn't agree and did not want to come here. End of potential deal. Time to move on.

I'm glad the guy that just said no thanks will not sign here. If he doesn't want to be here, then go elsewhere. The Steelers have a real head case on their hands...talented, but a head case. You overpay every year in FA, that's that nature of FA. What is your point?

Getting rid of a bund of high cost players who underperform their contracts (Darius for one) is part of it. We paid the price for Overdorf's terrible contracts last year. Nobody said anything about a culture of swell guys, just guys who actually care about football and the team and put it before themselves. It has been 2 YEARS...at least give them this year with $80M in cap space and 10 draft picks.

Neither do I. I am giving them a chance to let their vision play out. We have not done that in forever and have paid for it with a bad to mediocre record.

Because McD has a plan and direction he's trying to go in. The other two were abysmally clueless. You can't see that?

Maybe you should be a Patriots fan. There might still be some room left on the bandwagon. A few might have fallen off in disgust over the Robert Kraft fiasco. Look, this is the first coaching staff in a long time that actually has a plan and is following it. I'm not a Process cultist, but I see what they are trying to do and am giving them this off season and upcoming season to prove it.

Come on, man. At least TRY to see what is being built here. Why did JA do more damage with his feet? Because we had receivers that couldn't get open and an OLine that couldn't block. These problems are being addressed in the draft and FA. He was a rookie who didn't start the season and was injured through several weeks. Does he have so accuracy issues? Yes, but those should be easily fixable. He has a cannon for an arm and is not afraid to use it; a WR should WANT to come here now. So you're going to list Boldin (who quit pre-season) when you're telling others to keep their head in the sand? How is Boldin's activism career going? Screw AB. I hope he goes to the Redskins where careers die.

When was the last time we had a QB that could use a WR? We have one now, and AB is too dumb to see what is being built. Couldn't care less about the TO anniversary; completely different time, we were wondering through the wilderness and no way were in a position to utilize him.

I think you're reading too much into it. AB is a PITA, that's the problem. Screw him.

There's a trade alert on the front page of nfl.com. When I opened the story, it says the Steeler are close to dealing AB to the Bills. Apparently not quite done yet.

Well, he does come off as a 'me first' kind of player. But maybe those fears were allayed if McD stoke with Tomlin.

@AB84 hasn't tweeted anything in two days. That is his real twitter account...not AB

I'm shocked. I didn't think AB was the type of player (personality) that Beane and McD would want.
