BringBackFergy Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I’ll wait for the “Kudos Fergy...you were right”. Rosenhaus is doing damage control now realizing Beane trolled the ever loving chit out of them. Sigh-yon-ara Bleached Hairlip. You’ve been Beaned!

I would have accepted it at the right price, but that was not the move I wanted us to make. I have lots of Steelers fan friends, they know I wasn’t happy. They were also fine with him leaving.

Bill's might of pulled out cause of money. I think maybe Steelers side jump the gun to Rapoport. Someone did. I figure Buf offered the best compensation to the Team but werent sure on the money. I figure they already pulled out and that is why AB said fake news. At least that is what I will tell myself to sleep at night. 9 minutes ago, billspro said: Nope, I was not happy that we were trading for Brown.

I think this is probably how it went down as well. So all of the reporters were essentially correct. Rappaport said that the Steelers and Bills had agreed on a trade in principle. However, both Vic and JW said that a trade was very unlikely. Beane wisely decided that the risk was to great to pay a player who has made it abundantly clear that he would be more than willing to sit out a huge new guaranteed contract.

I slept worse the night I thought we traded for him haha Also, the Steelers have lost plenty of good old WRs before and they always replace them with a mid round pick that become great. I’m sure that will happen again, that is how winning organizations work. Edited March 11, 2019 by billspro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan692 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 To be honest schefters reporting from espn makes it seem like rapaport is just an amateur and got the story wrong and jumped the gun. Bean had to come out in the AM and release a statement as we were being flamed nationally throughout the night. Rapaport tried to save face and continued to act like a deal was ALMOST THROUGH but just fell apart at last second because the alternative was that he was completely wrong and premature. Personally, i feel like he should be fired. I dont believe bean ever had any interest in giving AB a max deal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan1988 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Beane counted his beans didn't like how many beans on the beans stock he had to give up. Damn Beane counter. Lol. Hey at least he thinks the 31yr old McCoy is worth nearly 10mil per yr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillnutinHouston Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Rosenhaus' statement sounds very contrived and I'm surprised how many here are taking it at face value. He's protecting future deals for other clients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peters agent was Eugene Parker. Rosenhaus is Shady’s agent. He might be a snake (what agent isn’t?) but he does his job very well -which is nearly 100% about getting his clients as much guaranteed $ as possible Edited March 11, 2019 by YoloinOhio 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonCents Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 From an agent and player’s perspective they managed this situation perfectly. Tanking his trade value made it easier to negotiate a new contract. Selfish but effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trust that he will build a championship team. We have a good vision right now. I like that too but we'll see how well it works in FA. Depending on the market you may need to overpay here and there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills and Steelers got very far on a deal, to the point Rappaport (who isn't going to risk his rep on a chance) felt comfortable reporting it. AB nuked it. Beane and Rosenhaus are working together to save face because Rosenhaus knows Beane is sitting on a mountain of money right now. Makes a heck of a lot more sense than the "Beane trolled everyone" crowd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes a heck of a lot more sense than the "Beane trolled everyone" crowd. I strongly suspect that this is the case too. I think everyone here needs to factor in that a player of this caliber and with this sort of contract has a huge say in these deals. He has more power than the teams, arguably, and I don’t believe for a nansecond that Antonio Brown -- probably the best receiver in the NFL at the moment — wanted to come to Buffalo.

JerseyBills Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I'm honestly thrilled . No WAY Beane was giving him 17-18 mil Per with 10 mil per guaranteed and I don't blame him. I'd be pretty mad if he did end up giving him that size of contract . That's a ridiculous amount of $ I'd only give to a QB and possibly pass rusher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
