I guess you're right. I personally don't put much stock in sports reporting. They're all being manipulated by agents, teams for their own gain, and subject to their own bias. I suppose all media is like this to an extent, I guess I just don't care because in the grand scheme of things it's just entertainment. When it happens in sport only a clown like Jeremy White gets worked up over it. 1 minute ago, JoPar_v2 said: All true and if this is wrong (and it looks more and more that it might be) rapoport is gonna have to make a major mea culpa.

ALF Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah adds to the discussion, saying that he can see the trade between the Bills and Steelers involving either a future pick or the swapping of first round picks in this year's NFL Draft. If the Bills and Steelers swapped picks, Pittsburgh would move up to the No. 9 slot and Buffalo would select 20th overall. https://wgr550.radio.com/articles/news/report-bills-closing-acquiring-antonio-brown That would not be as steep a price as I thought. hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said all along that if the Bills and Steelers did a Brown deal that the swapping of one's would be the cost. This is a deep draft and Buffalo picking at 20 (or lower) wouldn't bother me.

Fair point. We'll see if it breaks down. I think because of the nature of "sources told me" journalism it's easy to just have a report come out if it doesn't happen saying sources say AB hinted he might not report to the Bills and the Steelers were unwilling to revoke the compensation from the Bills if this were the case. Idk they're pretty much able to make up whatever they want in sports media 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan692 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Because rapsheet never guaranteed the trade to begin with. He said they were "close" and then a little while later said AB could still torpedo the trade by refusing to report etc. How do we know AB didnt call up his agent and throw a fit? Even NFL.com says now at bottom of article that AB could still sink the deal if he doesnt want to play in Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Sack Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 At 31 & 5’11” one can wonder how many more elite years does AB have in him? He has at tops 3 elite years left. Going from pick 9 to 20 might be too much of a price to pay considering there are some amazing WRs that could be available. I’d rather build a team than try to acquire one, but that’s why I’m not GM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend tried to convince me it was real but i said no way are we trading for an old malcontent WR. And i was right. You might be right, but at 3am in the morning you are certainly not right yet. Also the guys you idolize must have shown some interest in the guy you villanize. I gotta say it's weird seeing so many grown men, I'm assuming you're grown, idolize and fawn over a coach and gm. I know the Bill's haven't been great in those areas, but it's just odd. Edited March 8, 2019 by Ol Dirty B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I thought this was just internet crap, but just heard while walking the dog on NFR, they are even reporting it. I’m not saying I believe the rumor, but never McD would even consider it. So much for getting some stud OL in free agency. AB if true will eat up too much cap. I don’t want him, but Beane doesn’t have me on speed dial. There’s no denying he is one of the top 3 WR’s in the league, but I just don’t see McD being able to reign AB in and shut up to the media.

Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Not really the direction I would go, even if it were just a swap of 1's. Build up the lines. Add young speed outside.
