Antonio Brown trade may be happening today, announcing team soon: UPDATE: TRADED to Raiders

[par73]

It's true-- some of the best trades are those that aren't made.

Okay so then go be a raiders fan because where I’m sitting this is a Buffalo Bills message board. what have the raiders ever done for us?  They stink, have a hateable head coach and an even more hateable diva star wr. Great it will lead them to a 7-9 or 8-8 while we actually make the playoffs and establish ourselves as a contender in the AFC. AB was never worth the headache, he’s about to be 30/ and didn’t truly fit our timeline. 

Go be a boring stick somewhere else. I want to see the Oakland Trumps win the SuperBowl, after the Bills of course. I thought shiz like that went without saying.

This is getting more scary than petty. Obsessed much, AB?

Most emotionally fragile WR since... I would say TO, but that was before social media really took off so not sure he would have done any of this. AB is a little B word. Just looks so insecure and mentally soft.

I liked TO but Twitter during his heyday would have been an absolute disaster.

Takes a lot to unseat tb12 and his UGGs.

Not really. TB12 is a good teammate, hard worker and a winner. No comparison to what douchebag AB is doing- Also any of us would have loved to have TB as OUR QB, AB can go ***** himself-

AB is a good receiver, but he is clearly dumb as a stump to think anyone will feel negatively toward JuJu for asking an All-Pro for tips as a college player. Shows JuJu is a humble and quality person. AB is as smart as a slab of stone.

I guess you've missed all of Brady's sideline tantrums cussing out coaches and teammates. Brady is a big baby and that can't be denied. He is a hard worker and a winner, though, I agree.

Do not confuse passion with childish behavior. To a man his teammates, current and past defend him and he would never out them in the public eye-

Look-- I am as tired as TB as any of us, but to compare him to AB is silly.

I didn't compare him to AB. Maybe someone else did. I responded only to the TB post.

Jack Del Rio: Antonio Brown is “going to be a pain in the ass”

Posted by Mike Florio on April 10, 2019, 2:37 PM EDT

 

As former Jaguars and Raiders coach Jack Del Rio pivots to a season in the media, he’s saying plenty of things. And he’s supplementing his head’s up regarding a potential Russell Wilson trade by invoking an opposite portion of the anatomy.

I was wrong.  I'm glad the Bills didn't go after him and I'm glad he wasn't interested.

 

Gruden and Mayock are going to regret this decision.

It won't be long before the national media starts believing the Bills stopped pursuing AB and were smart for doing so.

This is now completely off the rails. Former Ben teammate with this accusation is ... something. Mendenhall is not totally credible though I don’t think. There was some odd story about him a few years ago

Ben could be racist,I get it, but the throwing out something as powerful as Slave is so wrong.

They pursued this idiot in the first place!  You don’t get your homer card stripped if you admit this.  

 

Many of us, despite his talent, never wanted him on the team at any cost.  But the process guys took a shot at this moron in the first place.  If AB pretended like he would be happy here and would love to play with Allen, we would have made the trade and paid him.  You’re delusional if you think different. And you would defend everything AB is doing now (just like Raiders fans are doing) because he was a Bill.  

[Mr. WEO]

AB's not showing up for the last game was due to a beef with his HC, not Ben.  Said so himself.

 

Mendenhall wasn't selected to the NFL for his intellect or his grasp of American history...

[JoPar_v2]

Wew this thread is long. AB is going to string out his remaining years catching 60-70 balls in oakland/vegas. Would he have helped? Yes. Am i bothered by the AB situation? Nope

?? What ??

Not every QB is racist.

Going into a professional, such as WR in the NFL, you don't know if your bosses/etc are going to be racist heading into it.

 

Now...

AB did have a choice as to what team to play for.

He didn't have to sign that huge extension with Pittsburgh if he hated Ben so much.

I mean maybe it came out afterwards though??

I dunno.

 

I think there is blame on BOTH sides of this situation, and honestly, the whole truth is only known by a select few.

 

People do this a lot.

There is a situation and people "pick a side" and then vehemently defend that side to the bitter end, no matter what they do.

They act like the other side is 100% wrong.

The truth is almost always somewhere in the middle.

Maybe ben got special treatment that ab didn't like, so ab started acting out, so then ab got punished and Ben didn't, which in turn ab acted out even more.

Who knows?

 

It's like if a husband cheats on a wife, then the wife goes and screws half the block.

It doesn't mean she's right for doing it, but you do understand her actions.

Then after the divorce, she continues to do things, like slashing her ex husband's tires and such.

She scorned.

Not saying it's right, but there's usually a root of the behavior, and it's not always originally caused by the person acting out.

 

I know it's a touchy subject but you see it a lot with police violence/shootings.

One side backs the police, and does so every time. 

They start making comments about the person the police shot/beat up, diminishing their character, and acting like the police are 100% right across the board.

Then you have the other side, those backing the person killed/beat up by the police. They start acting like ALL cops are bad, and that the "victim" did nothing wrong.

The reality is somewhere in between almost all the time.

 

 

 

(By the way, at the end of the day, I think ab was right to be upset and even act out some, if you believe the things about Ben/Steelers org, which I do. I do not think he's correct to CONTINUE to push the issue. It's over. You're traded. Move on.)

My comment was more toward R. Mendenhall throwing out the "slave" comment. My Great Grandma mentioned we have slaves in our ancestry, but I would never equate what AB "went through" in Pit. as slavery. That's just wrong on so many levels. AB did what he felt he had to do to get out of Pit. Good for him. Glad we didn't get him.
