DefenseWins Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 21 minutes ago, MAJBobby said: Why? The deal was done. Bills and Steelers agreed on compensation. The Player blew it up. You think Steelers are happy about that? I'm pretty sure that Pittsburgh Mgt is furious about this. BUT Rappaport allegedly was still reporting the deal as done around 7am this morning (per Josh Alpert PFT) long after AB called it "Fake News"... https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/03/08/brandon-beane-were-moving-on-from-antonio-brown-talks/ One of those responses came from PFT as a league source told us a deal is “not even close,” but Rapoport isn’t backing off the report. He told Mike Florio in a text that the deal is “going through” and posted something similar on Twitter a short time later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the Steelers' price comes down they might call Beane again. I like how up front Beane is about this. Puts out a statement and ends all the speculation. AB ended the speculation.

I'm choosing to ignore this. I've defended brown but from here out, eff him, unless he somehow ends up on the bills. Then I reserve the right to reverse my judgment.

Did it actually happen? Also would she bang him with that weird moustache? It looks like he's a teen who wants a moustache but can't grow it. So he murdered a homeless man, bleached the whiskers and glued them to his face. Great receiver, but makes some bad decisions. Haha truth. Not even positive it happened but ill play devils advocate.

TOboy Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 3 minutes ago, The Senator said: This thread is getting ridiculous. As Bills fans, we should be rejoicing that Beane wasn’t willing to overpay Brown and overcompensate the Steelers. Hallelujah! Beane didn’t throw his long term rebuilding plan out the window for a 10th year WR with attitude problems and maybe 2 good years left, maybe just one. BTW, what’s the over/under on number of replies to this thread by noon today? (I say it goes over 5000) . But that's not what happened. We supposedly had a deal in place with the Steelers. And nobody is saying this had anything to do with contract demands. The knucklehead just didn't want to come here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown and Rosenhaus let Schefter know he wouldnt report. The Steelers told Rappaport the deal was being done whether Brown liked it or not. The Bills got sick of the nonsense and pulled out of the trade. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideNine Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) Nixed because AB did not want to go to Buffalo...huh? Why would Beans go after this me-first clown to begin with? I thought McDermott said he was looking for team guys and role players on offense, not prima donnas; From what I have read AB is like the anti-role player. That deal had the stink of marketing deal to gen buzz and fill seats, rather than bring in the right guys that can help the team move forward and win more games sans drama. Disappointed with that kind of product marketing thinking, the same kind that brought Wrecks and his name recognition and ego to the Bills.

I realize "two men can talk it out like adults," but I think it is completely unreasonable to think that this is one of those situations where two people can just talk it out. 2. AB is 100% better than Poyer. No doubt. My point is about culture and "process." You don't get to say that you are building a family and then throw one of your core players under the bus by bringing in, arguably, the person you hate most in the world. When you do that, you reduce everyone in the locker room to an asset, and throw away the sense that each player is a part of a "family." This is a business. The Bills will make the best business decision for the team every time. If you think otherwise you are just being naive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better place to live than NYC where I lived for past three years. Deep down most people get mad because it gets old. It's a tired lazy opinion at this point. Little bit of research would show that most players end up loving playing in Buffalo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone as knowledgeable as John Gruden calls Brown the hardest worker he's ever seen but that's not good enough? Until THE PROCESS includes assembling talent it will be a huge failure. Stupid coach. Ridiculous. Beane has it right. The Bills haven't worked this hard to get the team with a ton of cap space and a bunch of picks with what clearly looks to finally be the franchise QB to bring in a guy who has the high chance of not reporting to camp and creating the TMZ-like crap that messes with a team. Especially a player who walked out on his team when they needed him most. It ain't holier-than-thou. It's risk/reward and clearly Beane didn't like the risk. Frankly, I'm glad the leak made Brown squeak a bit. Better now than Week 3. And lastly, the entire NFL is littered with successful NFL people who said something nice about a player, and were wrong. Gruden is no exception. Edited March 8, 2019 by LABillzFan 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetermansRedemption Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Is there any way the NFL can push a contract fulfillment clause into the next CBA? Brown is disgruntled and wants more guaranteed money. He must have forgot about the signing bonus he got? Maybe take out signing bonuses from contract negotiations. Make the player actually play for every dime of the contract. It can still be guaranteed for injury. But Pitt is really left holding the bag. They have a worthless asset that they have already paid a ton of guaranteed money to, even if AB doesn’t see it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
