The Raiders would've been slightly better, but Titans and Skins... meh.
I like it substantially more than many of the rumored places, but it's still in the bottom fourth of possible outcomes.

IDK, NFL.com usually doesn't post it unless it's a reliable source. They'll have egg on their face if this doesn't go down.

Looks like they are listing it as "closing in on trade". Who knows - guess we shall see Friday if the deal gets finalized, or goes up in smoke.

Guess we should have known it was suspect when it came from Rapaport. Edited the title to Unconfirmed

He's got a rap sheet a mile long for this kind of false reporting... :wink:

That should make AB running a slant in practice very interesting... :lol:

AB is still elite enough to be a back end WR1 / high end WR2; obviously not ideal but he is going to get a huge target share.

Obviously his production takes a hit but let us not act like AB is suddenly worthless.


...if it is not the Bills, this is going to look shady on RapSheet.

Also just a thought; what if the Bills came out of nowhere because a team the Steelers wouldn't trade him to reached out to the Bills, told them get him and we will flip you x pick? Could you imagine?

Okay I know it is unlikely but I want drama.

Fully impossible, but if the Bills then flipped AB to the Patriots I'd bathe in the yinzer meltdown.

"We inquired about Antonio Brown on Tuesday, and kept talks open with the Steelers," Bills GM Brandon Beane said in a statement. "We had positive discussions, but ultimately it didn't make sense for either side. As great a player as Antonio Brown is, we have moved on and our focus is on free agency."

Bills GM saying they are out of Brown trade

Funny, to cover his bleep Rapoport implied that talks were intense and close. Meanwhile Bills Gm said it just didn’t make sense.

The shitty reporting that twitter has spawned...

AB will be out of NFL teams soon. Isn't it about time for another Mr.Big Chest Video?
Acting may be in his near future.

So apparently the deal was in place but AB said he will not report if traded to Buffalo. That is one way to control your fate.
