SVPG, end of August is what I heard about 2 weeks ago. So that might change. Bass, hearing the same...end of August/miss all of preseason.

Were you driving up through the Finger Lakes? Deer Haven Park - Official Site of the Seneca White Deer Tours And you made....?

reset the market?

Lynch was on his way out because he was in his fourth season (2010) and the Bills didn't intend to re-sign him because they never re-signed their best players, especially first rounders and especially DBs and RBs going back to the departure of John Butler and JT Smith, and especially under Russ Brandon (to whom Ralph eventually turned over total control of the team). Buddy Nix had the title of GM, but like his successor, Doug Whaley, he was basically a talent scout who acquiesced to Brandon's philosophy of putting profits far ahead of winning football games. One of the reasons that the Bills could never really improve their roster was because they were always using their high draft picks to fill the holes left when they allowed their top players to leave or traded them away for draft picks. The Bills drafted RBs Travis Henry in the 2nd round in 2001; Willis McGahee in the first round in 2003; Marshawn Lynch in the first round in 2007; and Spiller in 2010. They also drafted DBs Nate Clemens in the first round in 2001; Donte Whitner in the first round in 2006; Leodis McKelvin in the first round in 2008; Jairus Byrd in the second round in 2009; Aaron Williams in the second round in 2011; Stephon Gilmore in the first round in 2012; and Tre'Davious White in the round in 2017. The Bills had to pay big money for FAs, and there were players who took the money. In 2008, the Bills signed OG Derrick Dockery and RT Langston Walker to big contracts. In 2009, they signed Terrell Owens. In 2012 they signed Mario Williams. I think that might have been the biggest contract up to that time for a defensive player.

He's a lock. We signed him to a 6.6m contract with 5.4m of it guaranteed *after* we found out he would be suspended. We could have easily walked away from that contract after it was revealed he would be suspended for 6 games. Instead, we signed him and guaranteed 82% of his deal. There's no point in releasing him now. He's roster exempt until Week 8 of the season. We keep a minimum of 5 Interior DL on the roster. Which is all we have until Week 8 - unless you think Casey Rogers, Zion Logue, Marcus Harris, or Devin Brandt-Epps are Week 1 rosterable players (which I don't). If there's a single injury at DT before Week 8 (which is very possible), we're down to rostering one of those PS level players and relying heavily on a guy like DeWayne Carter (who looked awful last year). Long story short, he's exempt from the Roster. The difference between having him on the roster helping the team and not having him on the roster and weakening our depth is just 1.2m in salary. He isn't going anywhere.

Hahha good point.

So in practice his whole mindset was pry don’t get injured and you make $30m dollars. Lol. Biggest practice of his life.

Kicking ass like that in the SEC or Big Ten pretty much guarantees you can move back near your college and just make bank for the rest of your life. It's analogous to winning a gold medal at the Olympics in a high-profile sport.

I think hes doing a local TV news show as well on the weekends where he acts as a football analyst for the UGA Bulldogs. I'm glad hes able to find work

I know. I couldn't resist

Bingo

This means some poor dog will choke on a 17 dollar toy Buffalo Choking was the sign I am not happy with you.... .

I'm pretty sure this is relatively old news. I think this was floating around last year or maybe even the year before.

No Fees so we both do better than selling on Ticketmaster, Stubhub, ... All games available except for Saints DM for more info

This all got memory-holed because he was able to somehow remake his image and become "fun-loving Skittles guy," but Lynch was having multiple incidents that weren't great while he was here.

Lol. I posted in the wrong thread.

the biggest blunder was they had fred on the roster and brought in cj and marshawn with out really giving fred a chance. I think they wasted about 3 years of production they could have had out of fred and then when he was producing on the field they still kept bringing backs in, while he kept out producing them...was a bit mind boggling

Anything over 47 mil is to much

Total revenue [$551] minus Player Expenses [$282] = $269 but op income is $101. What makes up the $159 of additional expenses? How much is for coaches/GM/employees? stadium lease pmts? travel? .... ???

And then when he got back from his 3 game suspension he was being outplayed by FredEx. He had already been hit with a 3 game suspension. The next one was going to be a big one.

Urgh. Draft pundits had us taking Jason Pierre-Paul or Mike Iupati. Possibly Bryan Bulaga. (Though some had us taking Jimmy Clausen. Could you imagine that nightmare!)

The same people complaining about the deal are the same ones that'll cry endlessly that this team "laCKs pLaYmAKeRs!" He's a playmaker, you retain guys like that.

Jerry Butler says hold my beer.

Anyone have any intel on when Bass is expected back or how SVPG is progressing? For SVPG, did he tear his calf muscle as he’s been out for awhile.
