Also, I hope he's smart enough to know that if he did all this with no actual knowledge of anything that he will loose a lot of his supporters. Probably yes. And definitely no, he won't lose a lot of his supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all... he’s just speculating that there is something else going down and he does have some info on the team. No need to support or not support. He never guaranteed anything.

wppete Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 if the Raiders are willing to trade Mack McBean would be the first to call offering draft picks and players... We have a lot of cap space next year.. The only way it happens for this year is if we trade some contracts. Shaq Lawson, Zay Jones and a draft pick? Jerry Hughes and a second round pick? We need to mack cap space for Macks big contract this year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it this way, Beane is looking for players that can be added for depth that may be getting cut after this week. Like all GM's are doing! I can guarantee without any doubt that Mack will not be a Bill this year! The Bills have scouts everywhere in every NFL city looking at teams taking notes on all players, grading them and waiting to see how makes the team and who gets cut. Thats all it is people!

Alphadawg7 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 26 pages on a tweet that has no real news or substance other than what we all already know? There is 0% chance anyone inside the Bills shared any detailed information with Astro about trades or any other personnel decisions. At best, Astro just restated a blanket statement someone said that Beane is still open to exploring other trade options...or even just tweeted his own speculative opinion. Which we don’t need anyone to tell us anyway as a Beane as proven over and over he will always be open to looking at trade scenarios any time of the year. This tweet really wasn’t any news, just stating the obvious IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This tweet really wasn’t any news, just stating the obvious IMO. I completely agree with you. However, if there is nothing to it, why make the tweet at all? And then to top it off, follow up on the tweet? If you're stating the obvious, preface it by saying "this is only my opinion but" or "I have no inside information but" Stuff like this is the reason you have Jerry Sullivan on Buffalo Rumblings blasting non-union writers. I fully support the guy's right to do something he loves, but if he truly had no real information (acknowledging the tweet was cryptic and not specific to Mack) he should have stayed off of twitter, or at the very least been more responsible about it. Because as it stands now this looks like an attempt to gain twitter followers to push his writing career. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtothebrown Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I do know several ppl within the org, and like i said they dont call me to tell me things that are happening within, and some of the stuff they do tell me, i dont repeat on a fan forum. When there is conversation about the team, its not mentioned in gosdip, its more like this guys having a bad traing camp, or the coaches arent fond of this guys attitude or there looking to upgrade this or that. Every once in a while, there will be some major news such as the team may be looking to trade a player or two, but im not gonna come on here to tell everyone what im being told by ppl that trust me to keep to myself.

Wait, let me get this straight 26CB..this forum took "Beane's not done yet" and morphed it in 26 short pages to Khalil Mack is going to be a Buffalo Bill via trade for either half the existing D-line and the next six #1 draft picks or a bucket of tape. This forum did that? No way.... Astro contributes/contributed a lot to this forum during training camp and the draft especially. His training camp reports are things of beauty.
