That's some good work there ricojes.
Nah. The Shady dealings bothers me the most. Felton would be down on the list of my grievances with Whaley. Only 3.6 million is guaranteed.
I have to be honest, I haven't paid any attention to him this year. For those that have how often has he been put to use, how has he played etc. Just curious. Forgot we had the second highest paid fullback in the league on this roster.
Yup. Dumb moves like this is going to hurt with keeping our own like Glen and Gilmore let alone there is going to be no room for any quality free agents in the coming years.
I suspect it was to save face which makes that decision even worse. McCoy didn't want to come here. That was their sign of good faith to him. My opinion.
I would never EVER give any running back a 13.5 million signing bonus and 26.5 million guaranteed in today's NFL. Would not even do that for Adrian peterson when he was rushing for 2000 yards. RB's break down and their productions falls off WAY too quickly nowadays.
This wasn't trying to troll this thread or hindisght either. I have been on record and in STRONG disagreement of the McCoy acqusition from the beginning (same reasons I stated above)
Nope.

As per workload you also factor in the passing game in which he was involved in just as heavily.
McCoy is NOT in his prime. Running backs decline and body's break down faster than any other position in the NFL especially with the ones that have the workload like McCoy has had early in his career. McCoy's marginal productivity is actually at the point where he will start to decline. That narrative is on point right now.
Kiko wasn't costing the Bills a 13.5 million dollar signing bonus and 26.5 million in guaranteed money.
Awful acqusition even at his initial contract and even more egregious to offer him a raise and more guaranteed money given the context of the position, workload history and the marginal productivity/age at that position.
