eball Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 2 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: I'll say this I believe Ian Rapoport is a good journalist. I don't think he would go out on a limb based on what one dodgy source has told him. If he is still saying "all signs pointing to Brown being a Bill" he has got more than one source telling him that OR his one source is very much "horse's mouth". That doesn't mean it will happen.... as a former journalist I know the perils of fast changing situations. But at the point Rapoport broke the story it was based on more than rumour and summation. He just isn't that kind of reporter. For what it's worth, nfl.com is doubling down on his report. It's still the lead story on their site. Very weird.

nucci Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 41 minutes ago, TheTruthHurts said: We need talent at WR for sure, but he demands the ball. Allen would have to be ready now to be a franchise QB. The Bills would have to give AB 150+ targets. It's just not who they are. If that's what they plan on being next year then I understand. I just don't see Allen throwing it around like that next year. Ever recall Andre Reed complaining he doesn't get the ball enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at the table Karlos Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 1 hour ago, machine gun kelly said: 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. If it happens we arent giving him 80 mil a year. We will still have plenty of money to sign other players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I hate the move if it ends up being true. Hate it even more if they gave up their 1. Didnt want them to add “that guy” this early in Allen’s career. You know the guy, the one who demands the ball and ruins joshs ability to read the field cause he’s gonna look in his direction first every single play. Hard to argue against adding one of the few elite receiver talents in the game. Nonetheless this could be the biggest move in bills history. Very ballsy if Beane did make the trade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
