Yet the Steelers are desperately trying to get rid of him, despite the fact: - The only have a short remaining Super Bowl window before Ben Roethlisberger retires - They will still be on the hook for $21 million in dead cap this year and $14 million next year - They probably weren't going to get even close to his value in draft pick compensation but yet people are willing to trade for OBJ. Can't the same thing be said for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JinxedBill1 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Shows a willingness to wheel and deal for top talent. I like that at least from Beane. Go get AJ Green IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Blitz Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 You will never convince me that low info Twitter reaction did not kill this deal.....AB totally aware of what's being said out there absolutely read responses and said "yea no....not dealing with this."

sven233 Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 My guess is that there was a deal in place and this got leaked before the Bills got a chance to talk about a new contract. Brown didn't want to come anyway, so it's dead. Will be interesting to see where he goes now. Sounds like the market for him is drying up a bit and anyone that does trade for him won't be giving him a new deal. By shooting down this trade, Brown may have screwed himself out of a lot of money. Who knows... After seeing the market and the fact that there may be no chance of him getting a new deal elsewhere, as time goes along, who's to say that he doesn't have a change of heart later in the offseason. But regardless, the Bills have a lot of work to do to repair a reputation that they brought on themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McBean Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 We got left at the altar bottom line. AB would’ve been huge. We could’ve taken TE at 9 and signed 2 FA lineman. Make no mistake about it, this sucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerlyofCtown Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I think Antonio Brown nixed the deal. I hope he gets a career ending injury next season and while hes down and unable to defend himself I hope Rapistberger has his way with him.?

DCOrange Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 In the very least, this showed Buffalo’s cards. Beane and McD have been trying to downplay their interest in a #1 WR. I don’t think that’s believable after this, which means teams that might be interested in DK Metcalf will probably try to trade up ahead of Buffalo/means if Buffalo does want Metcalf, they probably have to trade up at this point (which I would not be in favor of even if I like him a lot). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wsam4031 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 so glad this fell through. He didn't want to come here so he said he wouldn't show up. That's the type of player I don't want on this team. HES A CANCER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaattMaann Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 This at least shows Beane is willing to go get some talent this offseason and knows how to go and try to do it. Would AB have been right "right fit" culturally? Who cares, if he came and played this offense is completely different. But no sense crying over spilt milk. Hopefully this means Beane is willing to invest serious money in the offensive line, maybe explore other dynamic WRs (not devin funchess or the other crappy FA WRs) via trade, and/or use draft capital to draft skill position.

He'll be 31 when season starts and a team is expected to give up a high draft choice and pony up money. That's a lot of a aging reciever. Especially considering you don't know if he will even show up and not just retire if he doesn't like his destination. He tried to use retirement as leverage on Steelers but feel it is back firing on him and scaring teams off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimer1960 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I'm not disappointed that a deal did not get done - actually, I would have wondered what they were doing? I think and hope that the plan is to build for sustainable success. I can't understand how trading assets for and then paying A LOT of money to a 30 year old WR to play on a team that is still a long way from having enough talent on offense to be serious contenders would be building towards that sustainable success goal. Now, it might make sense for a team like the Eagles or Chiefs who already are contenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
