Just Joshin' Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 IMO there is a side benefit: Beane sends a message to the team that he will do anything to win, even bringing in a clown. He will get mileage for trying and the team will be better off in the long run by not acquiring Brown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've lived in Buffalo and almost bought a house there. Property taxes were insane for what you were getting. Here's some actual data for you to digest: "California’s overall property taxes are below the national average. The average effective property tax rate in California is 0.79%, compared with a national average of 1.19%." Buffalo 1.88% = $18.80 per thousand $100,000 house = $1880 per year, $156.67 per month on top of your mortgage! https://smartasset.com/taxes/california-property-tax-calculator#b5Sc1pJdjw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 3 hours ago, VW82 said: Man there are some sad takes in this thread. It's not that complicated. We agreed with Steelers on trade compensation with a basic understanding of what it might take to extend Brown. AB's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, leaked the trade to the media to put pressure on the Bills to up their offer and get a deal done now as this is when their leverage is the highest. When we wouldn't meet their demands, Brown took to twiiter saying he'd never report. Bills balked at the whole situation and backed away. It has nothing to do with how he feels or doesn't feel about Buffalo. Why do people insist on acting like spurned teenagers?? Disagree. The "not wanting to go to Buffalo" part of this has nothing to do with the weather or not enough Michelin 4 star restaurants in Buffalo and that sort of thing. It's the team, the QB, the lack of a passing game, the perennial losing...it was that "Buffalo" that he didn't want to go to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the team, the QB, the lack of a passing game, the perennial losing...it was that "Buffalo" that he didn't want to go to. Some of that maybe true. I have no doubt AB would prefer a big market with an established QB and winning culture, but that’s all secondary to $$. Think of it this way. NFL has a hard cap. There are only a few teams with 1. Need for big time WR, 2. Lots of cap space, and 3. willingness to spend that cap space on re-doing AB’s contract AND spend the draft capital to get the trade done. Why would a good agent like Drew Rosenhaus want to eliminate one of the few teams who fit all those categories? Even if AB really didn’t want to come to Buffalo, the best way to do that is to quietly and respectfully tell Bills, so that you can still use the threat of them as leverage with another team for a better deal. You only go the public scorched earth route if Bills are trying to trade for you without meeting your contract demands, which is what happened. If AB gets traded somewhere good and there’s little new money involved then I’ll admit I’m wrong. Edited March 8, 2019 by VW82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all about AB and no one else. I don't know what they have in the water in Pittsburgh but Bell and him have the same disease, they are bigger than the team. I used to get excited about the Bills bringing in the big fish, but I no longer want fools like this on our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
