The Senator Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 4 minutes ago, BillsSB2020 said: Which is part of the reason the tax issue is really overblown. It might be like a 1 percent factor in free agency, but I would highly doubt it's the deciding factor for many FA's. I would actually be surprised if it were a deciding factor for any player, but you never know. I agree. I doubt Brown even thinks about taxes. He lets Rosenhaus worry about that stuff. Brown is more excited about the casinos. . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His 2.5m bonus is due on the 17th if I remember correctly. It seems obvious at this point that he's trying to get cut so he can go wherever he wants (the patriots would be my guess, maybe the browns) and the steelers are holding out hope of getting a good return instead of sinking their loses and moving him.

I think teams build later dates like that so that they can make moves before having to deal with a bonus and whatnot.

Absolutely not worth it for the Saints. They have an extremely solid offense that really doesn’t need AB. Bringing him in would not be worth the risk of messing with that offensive chemistry IMO. Only a matter of time before he would blast someone who offended him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
{::'KayCeeS::} Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 (edited) I think the most salient point here is that our GM is a baller, and that he won't capitulate when he knows the value is not right.

Punching Bag Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 3 hours ago, BuffAlone said: I wouldn't say its denial. What I will say, again, is that ultimately he doesn't control what teams he gets traded to. If traded, he has one of two choices. Play ball or retire. That's the bottom line. Personally, I don't want him anywhere near Josh Allen No he can play chicken and sit out to week 9 or so then make the team scramble to fit him under cap and repeat it each year until team is tired of it. 1 hour ago, SWATeam said: Steelers need to take control of this and just hold his ass until he agrees to report to a team that gives them compensation they’re comfortable with. Unfortunately he can hold out to week 9 or so, tell team he will pay and then they need to cut him or scramble to fit under cap. AB salary is $12,625,000 which is why these discussions are being held now not in previous two years when his salary was $910,000/$915,000 w/$3M bonus.

Chuck Wagon Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 IMO an under mentioned factor. I think it would have made a statement 3 days before free agency to add AB to our offense.

I bet that was his choice all along. Makes no sense to go there but 1)it’s The Raiders. Moving Mack out because they couldn’t afford his bonus money, just to now bring in someone like AB who will be bitching about money and getting the ball again in a year, but whatever. And 2) there’s enough people on the radio saying it makes perfect sense for him to go there so yeah. It’s been, as the guy in the AB video said, the “black and gray” or whatever all along. But Buffalo AM radio and half the d-bags here will say the Bills suck regardless of what will happen, so nevermind.

oldmanfan Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Very happily we're no longer involved in this circus. If I'm a GM, I ask him one question: why should I believe you won't quit on my team the way you did with the Steelers? And if I'm the Steelers he sits for three years till his contract's up or he retires. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how much of AB’s contract they are responsible, but if they give him a new deal, I guess it won’t matter. Then you have the different penalties to cut vs trade. It all gives me diarrhea to think about.
