Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 12 hours ago, Happy Gilmore said: He did say on this IG account "Fake News." Not far fetched that AB said screw Buffalo. He doesn't have to sign anywhere else since he has an existing contract with the Steelers this year. He doesn't have to sign a new contract anywhere else, but he can retire if he doesn't like his trade, and refuse to play out the old one. Course, he does that and the Stillers can file for repayment of his 3 years amortized signing bonus, which would be $21.1M. You good on life, after those $$ go back, AB? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any team that trades for him knows in advance that they will have to redo his contract. I'm sure AB's representation is going to make it known what his contract expectations are. You are right that AB is under contract and his current team and prospective team has leverage over him from a contract standpoint. But why would any team bring him on board and subject themselves to a contract battle and a sidelined player unless the new and richer contract was agreed to? It appears that the Steelers want to deal him even though they won't get equal value back. There is no question that the Steelers have the legal leverage. But as seen with the Bell saga I'm sure they would rather deal him and get what they can get and avoid the lingering controversy. If a team such as the Raiders trades for him they will have the contract issue worked out before a deal is transacted. I'm glad that the Bills walked away from the deal when AB made it clear he wasn't interested. If the Bills would have made the deal even without AB's consent because he had no control over the trade it would have been a fiasco. AB is a great player; AB is not worth the predictable ensuing drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay tuned... It wouldn't surprise me in the least. Once the initial shock waves are over with and the smoke has settled perhaps AB will come to his senses. Top 3 D, HC that gets its, and the next poster boy of the NFL who he needs a go to guy. Buffalo by far is the best case scenario for Antonio Brown to be in.

Norcalbillsfan Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 If he really did flat out say no I don't wanna go to Buffalo then good luck to any team that wants him, he's out to pad his Hall of Fame stats or jump on team that's already going to be in the Superbowl.

BADOLBILZ Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 10 hours ago, Buffalo Barbarian said: we just need to start winning. Correct. In the 1990's a free agent signing with Buffalo was seen as a good career move. But 20 years without a contending team is an epic level of awful.........that's what is driving the shaming. People shouldn't take it personal it's more about the failure of the privately owned pro football team in town............if the teams in towns like Pitt or GB were this awful for so long they would be treated the same way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can refuse to play for any team he wants, but if he's traded by the team that own his rights, he either plays or retires.
