the last thing Russ Brandon wants is a Bill Polian equal which would result in russ losing power.
this still smacks of Russ pulling strings to keep his power by supporting the current structure GM whaley.
my money says it's russ who is leaking info to laconjecture and carruci.
i'd say advantage TT
the going rate for a current starting nfl qb is $20 mil/yr (osweiller, tannehill)
TT will be getting that if he becomes an UFA.
the bills without TT will be a chit show of has-beens.
i'd say the chances of TT getting more money is greater than the bills getting a better QB than TT
yes....but if i'm TT's agent....if the bills don't like the current deal....then I want to be dealing from a position of strength....meaning become a UFA.....teams like Cleveland, jets, SF may be very interested. I cant see the bills saying look...your future 20th highest paid QB contract we negotiated last season averaging $17 mil per year is a bit too high....would you do $15 ???
rex did same thing last year with Mario....took an attacking DE and asked him to either set the edge or drop back in coverage as a LB.
both superstars quit on him.
likely scenario
Pegula and russ discuss that rex & whaley have 1 year to turn things around
russ tells rex, doug......and leaks to vic
Pegula can deny he ever gave rex & doug an ultimatum

If the Green Bay Packers run the table, as quarterback Aaron Rodgers suggested was possible after their 4-6 start, everyone will get the chance to see it.
