PetermansRedemption Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Pretty glad about this. Especially if Brown was going to cost significant compensation. He would hold out if he wasn’t the highest paid receiver in the league in a few years. If he isn’t getting enough targets he would complain. If he isn’t winning he would complain. He’s also older as far as receivers go. If the compensation was next to nothing (a 4th or worse) then I’m disappointed because it would have been worth the distraction.

Also, fans and players took a LOT of insults about Buffalo in the past 8 hours. speak for yourself. I wasn't insulted, nor do I care if there were any insults to the snowflake fans that are/were whining because they didn't waste picks/contract for a diva wr. last I counted there is still plenty of time to "appease" the fans before opening day.

4merper4mer Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Brown is stupid if he didn't want to come to Buffalo; good for Beane in not playing around. On what planet are the Steelers going to be a good team over the next 5 years or so? That is over. I don't know what teams Brown thinks he could go to that would be a better long term situation. Packers? Eagles? Seahawks? Chargers? and maybe Panthers are all I can come up with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 People are happy now that we almost had the best WR in football but didn’t pull it off. If that trade actually happened, it might have been the single best thing the Bills have done in the post super bowl era. He’s a headache...He’s also a first ballot hall of famer and the best WR in football. The guy is also still in his prime unlike the basically done T.O. You win games with good players. At some point the silliness around off the field attitudes have to not matter as much. You have to actually be good and good players make you good usually. What a shame. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jokeman Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 1 hour ago, TheTruthHurts said: Yes, but I don't think agents are behind the Ian Rapoport leak. I think they probably were shocked by the trade and then demanded franchise QB money. AB's agents probably told Schefter no deal yet because they want the contract 1st. Unless the agent wants to get the put the Bills under media pressure in order to get a contract worked out etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExWNYer Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 At this point, I'd like to see Pittsburgh be unable to trade him and then AB takes his ball and goes home to retirement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjt328 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Just woke up. I'm happy the trade didn't go through. There have been nothing but warning signs with Antonio Brown for the last few months, which is not something we need on a young/growing team. Screw his talent. I don't want his ridiculous ego and "me-first" attitude. And if the reports are true that he refused to come here (after whining about Pittsburgh trading him), that just reinforces why we don't want him either.

RyanC883 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 If Bean said not happening, I do not see it anywhere? Perhaps posturing to get the Steelers to structure the deal so there is no deal (or like a 7th) if AB fails to report? If AB is worried about Buffalo, can the Steelers give Bills permission to talk to him or organize players like Alexander or McCoy to call him? This has to be tropedoing AB’s already low rltrade value. I was excited, but will hate AB if he is a “buffalo sucks dont trade me there.”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
