White Cole Beasley Jerseys , it was from the Steelers’ locker room and Mike Tomlin was not amused. Now Brown had done it again, and given fans an interesting look into his conversations with agent Drew Rosenhaus before he was traded to the Raiders.The audio, which Brown provided to the Boomin Experience podcast, reveals that Rosenhaus believed the Raiders’ interest was declining before the trade actually happened.“Oakland, I think, is fading. I kind of get the sense that they’re fading a little bit,” Rosenhaus told Brown.Rosenhaus thought instead that the Eagles or Patriots might be the teams to acquire Brown. The audio also confirms that Brown had no interest in playing in Buffalo, despite reports that the Bills and Steelers came close on a trade.“When the Bills called me today they said, ‘If we make the trade Cole Beasley Jerseys 2019 , what are you guys looking for?’ I wouldn’t even give them a number because I know you don’t want to go there,” Rosenhaus told Brown.Rosenhaus said there were six teams showing interest in a trade, and that he was pushing the Steelers to trade Brown to a good team with a good quarterback.“The teams that want you right now are New England, Philadelphia, Tennessee, Washington and Buffalo, with Oakland still in the picture,” Rosenhaus said.Both Rosenhaus and Brown seemed to think the trade compensation to the Steelers was going to be higher than it was, as they discussed the possibility of teams trading two first-round picks to the Steelers for Brown. In the end White Robert Foster Jerseys , the Raiders gave up only a third-round pick and a fifth-round pick.Rosenhaus said he put Steelers G.M. Kevin Colbert in touch with Bill Belichick but thought the Steelers might be hesitant to trade him to the Patriots. Rosenhaus also said the Steelers had shown an eagerness to get a deal done.“The Steelers have been good communicators with me. We’ve talked a couple times every day,” Rosenhaus said.The audio is a fascinating look at how Brown and Rosenhaus went through the process of orchestrating the trade, and Brown’s lucrative contract extension.

Trend analysis is one way to attempt to get inside the head of a football front office. We’ve already broken down the time allocated per position in an attempt to identify where the Buffalo Bills will focus their draft resources. For a follow up, let’s look to see if the Bills have a history of drafting specific players with whom they’ve met. We have (almost) two years of the current front office to work with, so we’ll take a look at both. As a disclaimer, current general manager Brandon Beane wasn’t technically with the team for the 2017 draft, though the rumor mill suggested he was in Sean McDermott’s ear at the time. This is short and sweet. While the Buffalo Bills had scouts at a lot of pro days where they had eyes on many of these players Robert Foster Jerseys 2019 , they didn’t meet with the vast majority of players they drafted. The exception: Nathan Peterman. Of course they met with Nathan Peterman. With the distrust expressed toward Doug Whaley and his staff (what with the “firing them all” and everything) this isn’t exactly surprising. Unfortunately, it’s hard to chalk up 2017 as much more than an incomplete grade as a result. Let’s check in on 2018. And again we only have one player drafted that the team met with beforehand. And, it was the quarterback again, of course. With Brandon Beane and his team in place, there’s no reason to give this year an incomplete grade. There are, however, some things to consider. The Bills were almost singularly focused on quarterback in this draft with 15 visits spread across ten different players. While Josh Allen gives us a rare “yes” in the chart above, any of the top quarterback prospects would have done the same. Additionally, the chaos of the draft is also a probable factor. With teams having little certainty on player availability shortly after the draft starts it would be incredibly difficult to target mid- to late-round prospects for visits. Ultimately White Corey Bojorquez Jerseys , there’s not a lot of predictive validity based on the two years of the Sean McDermott era when it comes to player visits translating to being drafted by Buffalo. Both years have been a bit odd. One as a result of a lack of trust in the scouts that did the work and the other due to the hyper focused approach toward quarterbacks.At pick nine, there’s a good chance a pre-draft visitor will be drafted by the Bills this year, but this isn’t a prediction based on prior drafts. Instead, it’s based on the volume of possible first-round talents the Bills have met with. A modest estimate would put at least ten first-round players face-to-face with Buffalo at some point in the pre-draft process. Even with some wheeling and dealing to move around the board, those are pretty good odds. As we enter what could be argued to be the first “typical” draft for the current Buffalo Bills’ front office, it will be interesting to see if any of their pre-draft activities can help predict draft-day outcomes.
