he literally can't stop even with millions on the line
He did stop. He could have played this year and checked himself into rehab instead.
-
Objectively speaking (the cost would be comparable), would you rather have Robert Woods or Josh Gordon?
Gordon is a no-brainer.
-
The Steelers writers I know seem to think he's more of a guard masquerading on the outside than a true tackle.
That said, with two starting tackles entrenched and Jerald Hawkins, they might not fight to keep him. Posted a 1.68 10-split, 4.95 40 time at his pro day, dude can shift.
The rotoworld blurb confirms this as much. Seems like, at the very least, a versatile depth signing and, at the most, an upgrade at RT.
-
You would be less surprised if you used "search".....
huh?
a) No thread since January 15.
b) You can't see a pre-season "Road to Redemption" video on the Bills' site? RB would be ham bone'd for this sort of offseason storyline.

@Yolo, from Gilbert's wikipedia page:
2016[edit]
On August 15, 2016, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Gilbert agreed to restructure $3.19 million of his 2016 salary into a bonus in order to clear $2.39 million in cap space.[19]
He started the first four games of the season and injured his ankle during a Week 4 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.[21] He missed the next three games but was able to return in time for Week 7 contest against the New England Patriots. Gilbert started 13 games and finished the season ranked the 13th best offensive tackle by Pro Football Focus with an overall grade of 87.1.[22]
-
He might sign here if he's going to start. Do you know why he only started 4 games?
This is going to sound snarkier than I want it to, but I assume the starter was injured.
-
His story of redemption would be Russ Brandon gold.
-
Shocked that I haven't seen a thread on him yet.
He applied for reinstatement and won't be welcomed back to the Browns. Do you make a run at him on a prove-it deal? This wouldn't preclude drafting a WR at 10 or resigning Woods and drafting a S/CB or trading down at 10.
-
He has to be better than Mills, that isn't to say he'd sign here:
Chris Hubbard - G - SteelersSteelers extended restricted free agent OL Chris Hubbard an original-pick tender.
The right of first refusal tender entitles Hubbard to a $1.8 million base salary. Teams can theoretically make him an offer sheet without giving up a draft pick, but the Steelers would be able to match. A former UDFA out of UAB's now-defunct football program, Hubbard held his own in four starts at right tackle last season. He also has the flexibility to play guard and even center. -
Stopped reading after "aloud".
-
The Vikes moved on from him the minute they traded for Bradford, it was a 19mo rehab timetable to begin w/ so there was no reason to go after him last year. I'm sure they would like to recoup any picks if they could considering the price of Bradford.
Probably a better value than rolling the dice on a mid-round QB this year. I concede the move doesn't address the short term need for a vet backup.
On the human side, you'd think that if a team made a move for him he'd want to prove their investment good.
-
I trade our last pick for him. Let him rehab, learn the offense and see what happens in a few years.
Many posters on here have compared his and Tyrod's game.
-
So Settle and pay him. Let me guess want to keep Goodwin too right.
Be serious. Your hyperbole won't work on me.
-
Yeah because the other half of the league opted out again. Just like year one. YIPPIE. Alternate Facts
Which means he's better than 15 other starters. Better than they have trotted out in a while.
-
I did.
Jerry Jones was tentative at best naming Dak the full time starter at the beginning of the year while milking the Romo injury until he had a larger sample size with no choice but to keep in Dak.
One in the hand is worth two in the bush and you don't reach to fill positional needs in the draft unless you are one piece away.
IMO: trade down to stockpile picks > if a QB falls to you take him this year > if we are, in fact, just a QB away from winning trade the farm for one in 2018.
This is simple guys.
-
What keeping the better player with upside on the Bench?
Ask Dallas how it's working out.
-
Ha ha ha this is so funny thanks for the laugh
Question..... and Hypothetical.
Say Bills Pick up the option
Then they draft Mahomes in the 2nd (Trubinksy and Watson where gone by their 1st).
Now Mahomes comes in and OUTPLAYS TT in the offseason.
Do you really think ANYONE on the Bills will have the STONES to play the Rookie over the guy they just committed to with 27.5M? (ALA Seattle)
No they don't, and that is why I hate picking up the option
This doesn't sound like a bad situation to be in tbh.
-
I think it is kind of a cop out to have the opinion that "you'd rather lose than win by cheating". Given the fact that we've done so much losing in the last 15 years, it's a pretty easy stance to take.
Personally, I'd be more appalled if we cheated and lost.
-
thats follower mentality. Oh so every team passed on Tom Brady 5 times so mustve meant he sucked. Oh the first round all passed on Desean Jackson, mustve meant something etc.
obviously the bills liked him if Rex went down there so be proactive and grab him.
you should your ignorance much more with your simple replies. All talk, no evidence, no backing etc. Typical forum poster.
I think I remembered why I stopped at 6 posts again now. Thanks for reminding me.
Go Bills.
I can't tell if you are trolling or if your logic is truly this flawed.
-
Would prefer to just retain Spikes.
-
I think we see how far Cassel or EJ take us this year then go all in on drafting a QB in 2016 (Ditka-esque). We retain the ability to invest in the team around the QB.
-
Well they are definitely looking at QBs. Interesting that they have only interviewed 1 RB.
- Blake Bell, TE, Oklahoma (COM)
- Bryan Bennett, QB, Southeastern Louisiana (COM)
- Anthony Boone, QB, Duke (COM)
- Brandon Bridge, QB, South Alabama (COM)
- Shane Carden, QB, East Carolina (COM)
- Cody Fajardo, QB, Nevada (COM)
- Garrett Grayson, QB, Colorado State (COM)
- Connor Halliday, QB, Washington State (COM)
- Brett Hundley, QB, UCLA (COM)
- David Johnson, RB, Northern Iowa (COM)
- Jerry Lovelocke, QB, Prairie View A&M (COM)
- Sean Mannion, QB, Oregon State (COM)
- Ali Marpet, G, Hobart (COM)
- Nick Marshall, FS/QB/CB, Auburn (COM)
- Bryce Petty, QB, Baylor (COM)
- Aaron Ripkowski, FB, Oklahoma (EW)
- Blake Sims, QB, Alabama (COM)
- Clive Walford, TE, Miami (Fla.) (COM)

In private, sure. In public it's telling any team considering him that they don't think he can do what he's selling.
If you went to your boss for a raise and he said it doesn't make sense but you are welcome to interview with others- ok. If you get to the interview and he's told them he doesn't think you can cut it, I bet your appreciation would drop quickly.
To use your analogy. If it doesn't make sense for you to get a raise, you probably aren't performing very well. It's pretty common knowledge that it generally costs a company more to hire someone new than it does to give someone a raise. If you are allowed to interview elsewhere you probably aren't in their long term plans anyways. You might get along with your coworkers but that doesn't mean your quality of work is worth keeping around.
I also think you are putting a little too much stock into GMs listening to other GMs. In sports there is a beautiful thing called game tape, other teams know exactly what type of player Spikes is and he either fits their scheme or doesn't.

The only one out of those four where there is a problem is San Fran'. Alex Smith was successful and winning them games in both the regular season and playoffs... New QB who by all accounts was way off adjusting to the NFL yet thrown into it head first for nothing more than his athleticism. 9ers made a mistake getting rid of him so soon.
- Fitz was way too much of a cap hit for a nice-guy-journeyman-QB.
- Favre was never around when Rex was there. He wanted out after the end of the season, to which the Jets granted his request.
- Manning was coming off major neck surgery, on a HUGE contract and you have the heir-apparent to your franchise. Wise move. Move on. Better contract = more ability to rebuild
Seriously, get a grip of yourself.
You asked for 3 examples, I gave 4.
