Confirmed. They just signed him for 114mil via Chris Mortensen. How are they gonna afford that???
NFL teams make lots of money.
-
Can someone please explain to me the difference between guaranteed money and yearly. Serious question. Also does one effect the cap and not the other?
This is a very good website explaining contract details. http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/lesean-mccoy/

i really have no idea if i want the bills to resign hughes or not. keep flip-flopping. toughest FA call we've had in a while.
I look at it as if the Bills want him, then I do too.
-
Plenty of cap space to sign anyone they want.....vets will be released this year and next to free up more. Cap goes up again next year......I promise last time I bring this up!!...........(maybe)
But what about the cap space? We have people to sign next year and Whaley is totally unaware that there is a salary cap.
-
And further to the point, can't help but think, based on things that trickle out, likely what a miserable SOB Marrone probably was , and how it likely affected both individuals and the team as a whole.
For Kujo to specifically include the comment "It’s a really positive environment" about a group of guys doing footbal workouts to me speaks volumes about his impression of the environment in the "tard yard"
last year.But he was really horrible during preseason, hardly enough time for Marrone to have such a negative effect on him. He was one of the worst lineman i've ever seen. He needs to improve an awful lot to make the team.
-
That Marshawn trade was worthless.
you're just realizing this?
-
Well then they owe him too. I never understood why people discredit some players. He is very good plain and simple.
Exactly. He was a monster this year. It's not like teams ignored him because of the other players. Maybe the rest of the line had career years in part because of how well Hughes played.
-
I wonder if Chip Kelly has stopped laughing at us yet, especially after seeing this trade.
Whaley has done some nice things here and there, but he needs to go. The Bills need a GM who understands positional value and the salary cap if they want to compete with the big boys. This guy is just winging it.
Someone who understands the cap as well as you think you do? We have a lot of cap room right now. You could complain if we have to cut good players to get under the cap but the fact that we are able to take on the contract of an elite RB is a good thing. Yes?
-
Dear god the overreactions... His cap hit isn't good for a team like the Jets. They are building the wrong way... Paying for all these WRs with no QB even if they grab Mariotta or Foles they still have no good QB.
everyone is so worried about the cap. Ours and now the Jets. I really think the teams are a little more aware of the cap situation then we are.
-
Hughes is going to get paid as "The Man", when he is simply a complementary piece...
Smart the Bills aren't going to overpay...he will be far less effective when constantly double and triple teamed due to crappy players around him
or he is a good player that will help his new team. And there are other teams with quality players around. Like all those teams that made the playoffs.
-
I'm a little concerned, but will wait til things happen. But if we lose Spikes, Hughes and Searcy, 3 of 11 starters, that's a legitimate concern. Not terribly difficult to address, but still not the best scenario. Kiko isn't a loss. When he played , run defense not so hot.

@HighRizaz19 It seems advisors feel they can get a lot more, but no disputing that could be simply negotiating tactics.
@HighRizaz19 The Bills believe they've made a fair offer, and they openly acknowledge there may be others willing to overpay. They won't.
Sounds very similar to the Byrd negotiations - Bills make a fair offer knowing others will overpay.

I really don't understand the RT need? Seems most of the season everyone was happy with the play of Henderson, particularly for a rookie and particularly when the overall play of the line was weak. Put Richie and another FA signing guard next to him, and a year of experience I'm not ready to give up on him anytime soon as he could look much better. I know he graded out poor, which makes me questions some of those grades as he seemed to have passed the eye test fine all season.
Yuo can't keep chasing draft picks, by that I mean replace last years pick with another one until you're certain the first one isn't going to work out, and after one season no way to tell for certain, if anything he looked pretty strong. Can't afford five all-pros on the line just as the same on the D-line, if Hughes leaves for big $$.
If Henderson is our biggest problem on the O-line we're in real good shape!
Henderson is not our biggest problem, but he is one of them. Our line is not in good shape unless Glenn comes back to form, Wood comes back to form, Icognito plays well and Henderson makes a big improvment
-
People keep saying that, and mathematically, looking at his age, it makes sense. But there's no proof on the field that he's slowing down. Not saying he's gonna last forever, but he has atleast 2-3 years left.
I think he is showing some signs, the problem with most running backs though , is that sometimes there is a pretty sudden drop off. It could happen this summer. This will likely be his last season. But he is special, I wouldn't count him out.
-
Why give up draft picks when he is no better than FAs out there? We could use those picks to get linemen to develop. I am not liking this move much. Hopefully, the picks are below round 4.
Maybe the Bills think he is better then other FA's out there? And it's no guarantee that you will sign the FA you want.

1) Gas up private jet.
2) Fly McCoy and significant other to FL
3) Terry tells McCoy tales of his Pittsburgh life
4) Bond is formed
5) Terry leads McCoy into another room where Rex and Doug are sitting
6) Doug waxes philosophical, Rex does his "thing'
7) McCoy admits he likes what he is hearing
8) Doug takes McCoy into adjacent room where JO sits
9) McCoy gets some more guaranteed $
10) He leads league in rushing.
11) During season we hear the "at first I hated the idea of coming to Buffalo, but now I love it."
just don't bring him to buffalo during the winter.

How about this? Keep Alonso, draft Gurley (or another RB), save 8 million in salary and spend it on the offensive line?
You people realize that Bryce Brown looked like a star in that Philly offense too? McCoy has had the benefit of a good to great offensive line, and excellent offensive coaching (Reid and now Chip) his whole career. He won't have that here and when he's being outplayed by Freddie, there will be some sad people on this board.
This trade sucks on so many levels it's not even funny. Whaley needs to go. The guy is as clueless as he is reckless.
Let's assume the Bills try this strategy - what happens if some other team drafts Gurley before the Bills do, you do know that might happen, you don't get to draft whatever player you want. There is a draft order....
We have well over 20 million to spend on the line. They will probably only sign one high priced lineman.
-
I hope the #billsmafia comes out in huge support, blow up his twitter with positive vibes. There has been plenty of players that were hesitant about playing for Buffalo until they saw what our fan base is like.
do you mean the fans that think he is on the decline and not worth the money of his contract? He will like playing where he is paid well and if the team performs well.
-
you lost me at Peyton Hillis.
Wut
and chris johnson, steven jackson....
-
the point I rebutted was that Kiko was "not good enough" to play MLB; I stand by my proposed correction that it was a matter of him not being big enough to play the Mike. Why do you think the Bills plan was to move him outside before he tore his ACL ?
Semantics... not good enough , not big enough = can't/didn't play that position well enough.
-
Out of curiosity, how many years are left on McCoy's contract? Kiko?
i think 3 for mccoy, 2 for Kiko
-
Let's pay that guy 10 mil while we're at it.
why do you care what they pay him?
-
Ummm... yeah that was the idea, all my comments were meant to be negatives. I'm agreeing with you, he was nothing special.
It was on about page two or three of the this thread, someone posted that! DPOY candidate this season The legend is amazing.
See my post above as to the real reason behind this trade!!
Sorry, it's been a long day. Lot's of posts.

I've brought this up elsewhere, but the bills were second in the nfl in yards per drive and 5th in the nfl in plays per drive in 2013. A lot of their down numbers were an effect of the horrible offense, which was 31st in time per drive and 28th in yards per drive. Football outsiders ranked the bills d fourth overall using their dvoa method for 2013. http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/teamdef2013
I think our offense was worse in 2014 than 2013, our defense was much better in 2014. Still can't blame all the run game shortcomings on the offense. I don't dislike Kiko, just didn't get into the infatuation that many did. It kind of blinds people to the reality.

yeah, I know. it's a stupid question. So many comments from fans assuming teams aren't aware of cap implications of contracts they are giving out. It's beyond stupid some of the comments on this board.
