How many times have you heard of a trade being FINALIZED in the NFL only to have it fall apart? They traded for him. You have zero evidence that they didn't. Everyone except delusional Bills fans agrees it was a done deal until AB said no. When you say "it wouldn't have been reported", you are saying that they would never report anything false. That's exactly what that means. Neither one of us know the real story of what really happened except for the parties involved in the trade. Everything is speculation.

If Brown wanted to come here, he’d be here pulling his crap. As someone who never wanted him in the first place and thought it showed how BS “culture” truly is (check the Antonio Brown to Buffalo thread ?), Beane got truly lucky. But some here will tout him as genius for not meeting Brown’s demands. For as talented as he is, he is a team killer. If he couldn’t happy in Pittsburgh, he is going to struggle being happy anywhere. But thank god he didn’t want to come here. Beane is a genius. Which one is it? I commend him for trying to get the best WR in football when WR was our biggest need. He may have gotten lucky, we will see if AB misses a significant portion of the regular season. At this point I'd still bet he shows up week 1 or sooner.

We definitely need a receiver upgrade but AB is straight loco. I even joke when Pittsburgh was going to trade him that they would see him to Buffalo as punishment and they did just that and AB refused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had positive discussions, but ultimately it didn’t make sense for either side. As great as a player as Antonio Brown is, we have moved on and our focus is on free agency.” https://billswire.usatoday.com/2019/03/08/buffalo-bills-brandon-beane-antonio-brown-moved-on/ Not sure that this proves anything different than what I said? The Bills wanted AB. They tried to swing a deal and it didn’t work out. Brown isn’t in Oakland because the Bills didn’t want him. The Bills may be real lucky that a deal didn’t come to fruition but your original claim @ShadyBillsFan that the Bills had “zero contact to bring him to our beloved team” isn’t true.

Once it became apparent that the tradeoff between trade compensation and AB's contract demands did not fit, Beane stepped away. Another assessment is that Beane wanted AB badly but AB told Rosenhaus "anybody but Buffalo" and that's where it ended.
