Great, and when Drew Rosenhaus steers future free agent clients away from Buffalo, at least we'll have our memories of keeping Darius Slay on the non-report list during the year we lost in the Wild Card round.
The Eagles are a non-conference team with a glut of talent and a very active GM. They can be a good trade partner in the future, and I wouldn't want to make that possible relationship weird over a washed-up retiring cornerback.
Live by the sword, die by the sword...Brandin Cooks found a way to get off the Saints to play with a better team, and it benefited the Bills. The Slay pickup went the other way. Just cut him and move on before the situation devolves into a bigger embarrassment.
His agent is Drew Rosenhaus, who has represented like 30% of the league's star players since the turn of the century. Gotta keep that little slimeball happy, unfortunately!
They should let him walk and then use it as a rallying cry for the Eagles game in a few weeks.
"The guys in the other locker room...they think they're too good to play here! They think they're better than you altogether!"
They saw they had a coach who could never get them to the promised land and made a change immediately. One year - he was gone. Possibly the best offseason move of the decade.
They are clearly the best team in the AFC right now. The Bills' brass should take the Pats' inevitable AFC East championship as a lesson on what happens when you willfully choose to remain stagnant while your opponents try to improve.
I enjoy how their owner is like "We know he sucks and that he is wildly unpopular with the fans, but we're paying him a lot of money and, by God, he's going to work for it!"
Agreed. Whoever has to go to Baltimore is drawing the toughest road assignment in Round 1, in my opinion.
I think you can even make an argument that it is the toughest place in the league to play for a visitor.
