He's under contract since it's a trade so no signing needed. He can always retire like the last AB we got a few years back.

 

Problem is he has already stated multiple times he doesn't need football anymore, and he can move on whenever.

Yeah, that's worth risking valuable draft picks on... He very well could retire and leave us with nothing

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.

 

Yeah, I'm not 100% that it's true, either. Just posting because some might find it interesting. If it falls through, more anti-Rapoport fodder. If true, it's good info. Either way, can't hurt to share.

You guys are killin’ me. All these die hard Bills fans the want a “team” and your excited for a guy that quit on his own. This kind of diva will never sign with the Bills....thankfully. 

Buffalo sports fans are allergic to star players, exhibit 43829.

People need to relax with this 9th pick stuff. No way in hell did we trade our 9th pick for Brown. And whoever shared that fake AB twitter account link should be banned imo...

But man what an exciting pickup! Gotta see what the compensation is but I think a 2nd round pick wouldve gotten it done. Perhaps a combo of swapping 1sts at the most.

Boom Beane gettin er done!

ESPN:

"If he got traded to the Browns or trade to the Chiefs, heck yeah he'd show up to camp, but to Josh Allen & the Bills?" 

I feel the same way when a real journalist goes to ESPN.

It's not fake. It wasn't Twitter. He did post on Instagram "fake news".

he also stated he wants a team with a good culture  in the same interview.   the press just highlights the “I dont need it “ quote, which was like his way of saying if I’m not traded I quit.

From what I'm reading he has a no trade clause in his contract and could refuse it? Kind of weird that no one but Rappaport has reported it so far.

 

If so he may have (probably) waived it by now, since he’s publicly demanded a trade several times now.

Aditi also just told NFL network AB stays after practice to help players on both sides of the ball.  

 

Yep...

 

She basically said it's known no one works harder...Period...She actually went into detail...?

I have to believe he accepts with a new deal. I suspect the trade parameters have been worked out with the Steelers, but we're still working with his agent on an extension which is why it hasn't been officially reported by Schefter et. al.
