The answer may be on the roster.  Or something like that.

htf is 24 hours before the trade deadline not last minute?

yes, semantics. People are grasping at straws.

I guarantee a little bird told Beane that KB would be available for the right price. I'd bet my paycheck on it. Hurney/Rivera knew this would not go over well, so it needed to be the Bills idea. It didn't happen by accident.

Lots of people spreading incorrect information here on the boards so I wanted to clear this up. 

Brandon Beane on NFL radio the night of the trade said that he called Hurney the day before inquiring about KB going to Buffalo. They went through the process but couldn't come to an agreement and Beane really thought thats it no deal oh well and moved on.

At 2pm the next day Hurney called Beane and Beane thought to himself "oh I guess there IS a chance". They spend the next two hours hammering out a deal and get the contract submitted with 3 minutes to spare till the deadline.

He then went on to say that he was worn out from running up and down the hall talking to his coaching staff and doing the paperwork. 

So please stop with this "this last minute deal no one was considering just happened". Marty had a full day and a half to discuss it with our coaching staff and Owner. It wasn't a spur of the moment decision. 

Lol...he strung that out for 2 hrs ?

Do you have even the tiniest shred of evidence to support that or is it all pure speculation?

The evidence is that KB is no longer on the team. We now know that we valued a 3rd & 7th more than KB. Panthers knew they would not get that in the offseason. No, I did not hear it from Hurney's mouth, but it makes a ton more sense that a deal like that would start with the Panthers. Perhaps Beane did call Hurney first, but I would be shocked if that was really the first workings of the deal. Beane knew how Hurney felt about KB. I would bet that a little note or text made it's way to Beane before the phone call. Hurney wanted this to happen more than anyone else.

All of that is speculation. 

You can believe what you want, but you do so without any backup other than your own ideas.

Sure it is, just like you speculate that the GMs are being 100% forthcoming. Either way, it really does not matter whose idea it was. It is done. The only way to know if it works is to wait and see. I'm sure we all hope it does.

I hope it does too. 

I'm just not expecting much.

Lots of people were saying Beane called Hurney right before the deadline. That's last minute. They are wrong.
