Because it's his job

You're delusional. You insist on assuming a new owner with billions of dollars is the same owner as Ralph. And the current front office cut previous draftees because they didn't see them as a fit. They are not cutting their own guys.

Build the lines. Specific players I won't predict.

Our GM did his job. He inquired about the guy, worked on a possible trade, and it didn't work out. The reasons are immaterial. Whether it was Brown balking or the price of a new contract or both. Time to move on. Oh, and we also will sign some FAs and not sign others. If we don't sign a guy you might like the GM also won't be failing.

Very happily we're no longer involved in this circus. If I'm a GM, I ask him one question: why should I believe you won't quit on my team the way you did with the Steelers? And if I'm the Steelers he sits for three years till his contract's up or he retires.

They were in cap hell because they had big dollars tied up in guys that underperformed like Dareus. So that meant they had to dump it to get the flexibility to get guys they want to keep. So somewhat of a semantic thing. They will be active in FA but likely will not pay huge bucks to one guy. They will save some dollars to lock up and extend guys they've drafted like White and Milano. They have said many times they feel you build through the draft primarily.

CleRing cap space involves getting rid of guys you don't think are worth their contract. It's not just reducing dollars to reduce dollars.

He did not suck last season. He was average. Losing Richie next to him hurt.

He looked like a cornerstone LT last season. see how easy that was?

Quit worrying about the social media. Doesn't mean squat.

Would you please just stop with this nonsense that every move the Bills make us somehow related to mystery financial motives? The Pegulas have money; they want a winner. Beane did his due diligence to get a star guy here to help his young QB succeed. The deal didn't come together. Nor has it for any other team including the Steelers. This is on the player and not the Bills or the other teams that looked and said no.

It was not a debacle and continuing to say so just makes Bills fans look desperate and pathetic

Most likely scenario is Brown stays in Pittsburgh.

Here's the thing. We have people here blasting the Bills for not doing this trade, yet a number of other teams in the league have backed out as well. So why is it only our team that's wrong? It just may be the Bills are smart here, and it's the player that has the problem. Or his agent. My guess is Rosenhaus has put into ABs head that by playing this game he'll get released and then can negotiate with anyone.

And to be fair this post argues against my stance thus far. Actual argument stated well.

I love to discuss things, but the major just wants to bash whatever the irganization does. Honest debate great! Mindless negativity just to be negative (or vice versa being honest), no.

That presupposes someone has a mind to actually read.

Three thousand more like. You don't think everyone here knows what you're trying to do here?

Yawn again. What criticism will you have when they win the Lombardi? Because we all know you'll have one.

Yawn. Same old stuff.

If they hadn't drafted Allen you'd be all over them. They draft their young QB and that's wrong too. Your act is tiresome.

No. They have a plan and they're moving forward with it. They got their young QB, now they're trying to put pieces around him.

Big armed QB that can deliver the ball downfield. You asked what the current regime had done for the offense, you are told, and then you change your argument. Again thanks for your service but your posts and opinions about the team are a joke. No matter what they do you spin it negatively. If Briwn had signed you'd be posting about how they don't really believe in their process. We know what you're doing. And it's pathetic at this point.

They put their young QB on the field. The one that showed a lot of promise. The one that was drafted higher than any QB in team history. But of course that's ignored. I applaud you service for our country. But as a Bills fan you're a joke.

He'll be in soon. And we all know what his take will be.
