Mr. WEO

He obviously thinks he's better than that...

oh man.....bros in the gym working out with chains! lol

nope

This paves a path for the Sabres arena to be renamed "The Skidmark".

so all the Bills need is a pair of quality TEs?

what?

The quality of play isn't affected by it being Thursday night. It's the occasional bad matchups. This has changed over the years. But TNF beats MNF regularly.

The safety argument is an empty one. The players had already agreed to this. If they aren’t concerned then why should we challenge their choice? Even less convincing is any suggestion that fans won’t be up for another regular season game. That claim challenges all “logic”...

It's "Buffalo Elite". It includes any WR who cracks 1000 for a year.

Might as well fill the whirlpool with Epsom salts right now.

next you know, he will announce he's looking for "top dollar"...

"if not this year, next year."

Gotta love Gil's evals: "More so than anything, he can play left tackle, and that means so much in today's NFL." "I think he'll be the kind of quarterback who can take you to the playoffs." "recording a 33-inch vertical and throwing the bar up 33 times. His arms, which people were worried about the length of, measured 33 inches" "should play many years at a high level." "he just has "it." He's something special." "Surtain ...has very good coverage skills" "should start for a long time and help whomever he ends up with." "Collins makes a lot of plays" My favorites: "has great skills as a player" "lots of upside for the future."

Look up! Anyway, I like how the Bills PR department felt they had to phonetically spell this kids name for the fans. lol

Does this mean they cut Christian Wade?

I laughed out loud. Props for starting yet another backdoor Obada thread though....

his signing doesn't challenge the cap--1.1 million, only 350k guaranteed. He would be easy to sign for 2-3 years now.

home town discounts--any wizard can make this happen, no?

That's 100% false. I'm sure of it. maybe he did. no doubt that's what his agent would say. why only a year though?

I clearly stated (over and over) this as my opinion (as such, by definition that implies an understanding that I could be wrong) as to why I think he took the deal in hand. I haven't hinted that I knew exactly what was in his mind. If some people want to believe young players looking for their second contracts would stay for love over money, that's fine for them to believe so. WR's get different (desperate need) money. And Agholor got 22 million (12 this year, 10 next) over 2 years, 16 guaranteed.

No I'm sure he loves it here. In fact this is the best place in the league for him to be. I just don't think other fans/GMs see him the way that people here do as a upper tier talent. He's not a Pro Bowler/All Pro guy. He's a solid player. The Bills know that more than anyone, so he likely has value to the Bills more than any other team. As a young player already with an injury season that cost him a chunk of the year, he knows you don't have long to make money in this league, so you maximize the money when you can. Maybe if he didn't miss any games this year and played solid all season, the market would have been more open. He took the security of a multi-year contract with a team he wants to be on--over more money. That's what I think. And it makes sense. This isn't like Sanders taking whatever to get on a team that will possibly get him a SB ring this season before he retires...

For a backup/depth guy/special teamer, sure--this was his best bet. He got a very generous raise raise for one year. If another team had offered 2 million for a year, or 1.2 over 3 years, he would have put down the candy and walked away.

Come on...it's been 10 years of this. It's been a dysfunctional mess for a decade. It isn't about a key guy getting injured. This makes no sense.

I appreciate the first hand info. My point is that lots of guys, due to COVID, were getting one year contracts. Milano, after an injury plagued year was possibly facing the same (perhaps other teams were not as impressed with him as a standout player as the Bills are and don't consider him a star on the rise). I have no reason someone in his camp put out the "top dollar" comment in the beginning of February. But as the weeks went by, I'm sure it became apparent to Team Milano that was not going to come close to happening. Beane no doubt just sat back and watched the market. Then he offered a multi=year deal for very good money for Milano. I'm convinced the multi-year is what sold him on not testing the market, not just that he loves Buffalo. Beane expressed the reality of Milano's situation to him and his agent.

Then you realized there were 2 others??! But yeah it's nice to at least re-sign your guys. Haven't really made a huge splash in FA though.
