stuvian Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I'm no twitter expert but can you not delete old tweets from your account? Have we learned who outed these tweets on the eve of the draft? This whole thing seemed Belichickean. Doesn't his agent advise him on social media? If not, he should fire his agent. This has been badly mishandled and we are lucky that it didn't turn into a bigger media circus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffaloboyinATL Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Supposedly he DID delete them several months ago, but whoever released them had already taken screen shots. This was definitely calculated. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaradiseCowboy Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) Question is, does anyone think the release of the tweets dropped JA’s draft stock??

transplantbillsfan Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Arizona managed to get their hands on screenshots of the tweets and released them in an effort to get him to fall, as reports are they wanted Allen, not Rosen https://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/heat-index/2018/05/02/arizona-cardinals-nfl-draft-quarterback-josh-allen-josh-rosen-z/574999002/ ... and it may have worked because Allen may have gone earlier than 7 if not for those tweets... but who knows.

The article you link does not in any way support that it was Az that released the tweet screenshots The point it makes is that Az actually had a plan in place to trade up to 5 for Allen, but it was Chubb falling that nixed their plan. 27 minutes ago, LaradiseCowboy said: Question is, does anyone think the release of the tweets dropped JA’s draft stock??

I personally think so, because I think the Browns and Jets had Mayfield and Darnold higher (as, IMO, they should) Allen's camp and his teammates also handled it well.

BadLandsMeanie Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 You have to know what you are doing to cap and post pictures like that.

Someone maliciously released tweets that had been long deleted the night before the draft. No greater time to do it to make a prospect drop in the draft... think Laremy Tunsil a couple years ago. NFL teams that want a QB have the most motive to do it. Arizona was reportedly "heartbroken" missing out on Allen. Sorry, just seems a strong adjective to me. When someone is heartbroken, the connotation of that word also implies confident expectations that were not met. No, the article doesn't say Arizona did it, anyone clicking the link can see that. It's just evidence in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
