Roger is from Jamestown and his mother was from Buffalo . He will help keep the Bills in Buffalo with the next owner. I don't mind strict penalties to keep it from getting out of control.
I would have extended Levitre and Rhinehart before there contracts ended. Kept OL coach Joe D' . If we find a cheaper player as good as Levitre thats when to trade him. EJ and CJ are in trouble without a good LG. Hairston out is also a negative.
With his PF uncertainty I would not give him a big up front bonus. This years $6.9 million guarantee while missing games is his bonus. I would offer him $7 million a year with good incentives "IF" he plays at a high level for enough games after this season. If he won't accept, trade him or let him walk and we get a compensatory pick.
"Old Sugar Packets If I understand it correctly it refers to being so cheap he takes the sugar packets from restaurant tables " (on another forum) I was also curious what OSP meant, so did a little digging and found that.
Carl Nix is out when MRSA infection returned http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/buccaneers/2013/10/10/bucs-guard-carl-nicks-reinfected-mrsa-lawrence-tynes/2961735/
I learn something new everyday. Thanks
"Under the rules for compensatory draft selections, a team losing more or better compensatory free agents than it acquires in the previous year is eligible to receive compensatory draft picks. " Highest would be a 3 rd pick

I would like to see the big contracts guaranteed for no more then 1 year at a time. Then the bills or another team would take a chance on signing Byrd. His PF makes him a gamble.
Bills WR Stevie Johnson was excused from practice Wednesday to tend to a family situation back in his native California.
Head coach Doug Marrone said Johnson would be back late in the week after heading home for a death in the family.
The Bills top wideout is also trying to return from a back injury suffered in the Thursday night game at Cleveland.

Elite players should at least be given insurance coverage if injury hurts there future earnings potential. At least allow a agent to pay for this coverage
