Deep2Moulds46 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Nate Geary said today in WGR two team sources have told him the bills had a deal in place with the colts to get to 3 and the Jets deal with them really hurt. He also said that's why they traded Tyrod. Not sure if he meant because they knew they were getting to 3 or if the 3rd round pick from Cleveland was a part of the trade package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Beat to the punch. Such is life. Your move Mr. Beane. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Wagon Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 (edited) They did not have a deal in place if it was able to be beat by the Jets. Could explain the actions on FA QBs, Bills opened FA thinking they had a trade done with Colts, Colts informed them Friday it changed, Bills signed McCarron Friday afternoon, Colts-Jets trade broke Saturday morning.

Big C Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Explains why the price for the Jets was so high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Why would we not get a chance to up the ante. That makes no sense to cut off bidding. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristocrat Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Figured we would be in on that. Glad beane has a plan. The jets clearly do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RalphWilson'sNewWar Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 so Buffalo moved to 12 with the understanding from Indy that 12 was good enough with additional picks to get 3? BecUse if that is true then Indy double crossed buffalo. or did buffalo randomly pick 12 and just assumed 12 and extra picks would be good enough for Indy? Because if true then Beane is naive and green. also, if Indy and buffalo had a deal...did Indy give buffalo an opportunity to up their offer? Or give buffalo time to maybe get the #7,8,9 Pick and then trade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuckeyeBill Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 So maybe we just screwed the Jets? Especially if we sweep in to #2 and take Rosen. They'll be smarting for years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Wagon Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Also, if the Colts said "we've got a deal" and got off the phone with us, only to call the Jets, or field a call from the Jets, eff them forever. Feeling like 2004 all over, having a supposed deal done to move up and the other team backing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I sincerely doubt that the Colts didn't give Beane a chance to beat the Jets' offer. If the Jets beat the Bills to the 3 spot, it's because Beane chose not to agree to whatever it was going to take to beat the Jets' offer. 12 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Beane outmaneuvered by Mccaggnan! Now it looks we are are likely shutout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 We have no idea what happened. Maybe the cost went up and Ballard asked us for more and it went over the amount Beane was willing to pay. I love the fact that Beane doesn't seem willing to overpay, but in this instance maybe he should have. At the end of the day, trading to 3 simply guarantees you the third best quarterback. But I do like that Beane seems to have brass balls and is going to stick to his guns. Bills fans, take solace in the fact that the Jets will 100% f this up. There is no way they get this right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't shock me if Beane got off the phone thinking a deal was done, Ballard called up the Jets for one last push, they relented, he called Beane back and Beane told him to respectively eff off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Beane wasn't willing to pay the price. Simple as that. If they had a deal it would have gotten done. Jets offered more including a more attractive draft spot. It's not eBay. Jets didn't outbid them by $1 with 5 seconds left. Bills made their offer, Jets beat it, Bills not willing to beat it or get into a bidding war, Colts made the deal 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
