He's had a such a hard time in his life...as if no other young NFL player has had to deal with adversity. [/sarcasm off]
I said it when he signed the massive new contract and I still say it...they will regret it.
They already have.

The Buffalo Bills inked center Eric Wood to a two-year contract extension on Saturday.
The team announced the deal ahead of their preseason tilt versus the Baltimore Ravens
The extension is worth $16 million in new money with an additional $5.275 million this year, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, per a source informed of the contract. Rapoport added that Wood received a $6.5 million signing bonus, and is due an additional $1.75 million roster bonus in five days as part of his $14.2 million in guarantees.
Wood was headed toward the final season of his five-year, $27.7 million contract signed in 2013. The extension keeps the 2009 first-round pick in Buffalo through the 2019 season.
Thanks, but there are still more details to come. I'm looking to see how much of his 2017 salary got converted to the signing and roster bonuses paid this week, what the effective 2 season payout is and how much of the new money is non-guaranteed 2019 compensation. I'd expect a roster bonus to be due in 2019 as well. Often the first leaks of a new contract are from the agent and show the deal in the most positive light. It's good marketing for the agent.
-
Seems like they just paid a $6M-$6.5M per year OC $8M a year for 2018 and 2019 with a lot of guarantees, but it might not be that bad. Wood is a good player and it's probably best to have him locked up beyond this season so I'm happy there. The contract details aren't out yet, but my best guess is that the effective length is through 2018 with 2019 as more of an option year for the team. Guarantees likely just cover compensation for this season and most of next. The 2019 salary could be ballooning the numbers too. I'm going to wait and see.

I've not commented on any Darius threads for the last few years, mostly because I have some knowledge that could get a person or two in hot water. I can't remain entirely silent on the matter anymore. While I won't divulge what I know or from whom I can assure you all that he makes very bad decisions and rolls with some people that are shady AF.
I know some people will doubt this, and rightly so given the lack of details, sources, etc. But I trust the info I've been given. The dude is a goddam **** head.
Thanks for the inside info.

Hit him where he's fattest...........in the wallet
how do you punish someone this wealthy?
Financial penalties still can hurt even someone like Dareus. Team fines or suspensions can hurt badly. Notably, he would not get paid for games he is suspended for and the amount lost would be refunded to the team's cap space. He's at about $610k salary per game. That would have to hurt, especially if it is an escalating punishment. He just got a 1 game violation (although no financial penalty since it was a preseason game). Next might be 2 games for $1.22M, etc.

You all do realize that Adams has Rogers throwing to him right? You really think he will have another 1000 yard season with 12 TD's with Tyrod throwing to him?
It'd be stupid to trade for Adams without negotiating a LTD so you'd have to consider the possibility that the Bills would somehow acquire a FQB. Not bothering to get quality WRs on the team until you find a FQB doesn't seem to be much of a strategy. Not that I'm saying it he Bills should trade Shady. They shouldn't unless a team gets stupid.
-
I find it very plausible that the Packers offered Adams and a fourth round pick for Shady. I also find it incredibly likely that the Bills said no to it.
-
Taylor finds a rhythm and his timing and proceeds to hit receivers with accuracy. Or that Peterman does. If we got nothing more than that I'd be ecstatic.
-
Even if it was. So what. What does it prove? They haven't been .500 since 2007. How many years do you need to tank? Following the Browns model suggests it takes at least 8 years. And that is if the team is a winner this year which is certainly questionable. Could be 9 years. Can I buy a 10?
Last season was a genuine tank for the Browns. Most seasons before that they were actually trying. They were a case study in how not to draft up until this most recent regime. Meddling by the team owner, unnecessarily risky high picks and going off board to take players that coaches wanted rather than following the hard work of the scouts has been the norm for them since '99. The new regime has been impressive in their patience and willingness to hold true to their scouting and analytics. They've got a long way to go (obviously), but they should give Browns fans real hope in the long term.
-
That's great. But how many are actually any good? Or did they just find their place on the depth chart due to circumstances of a bad roster to begin with. At this point we don't know the answer to that question. All we know is they have a lot of young players on the roster and that they were a really bad team last year. Where they go from here we don't know yet.
Sure. We don't know. But it's not fair to claim that they got nothing for that draft after one season with a blown up roster either.
-
Last week after the preseason game in Philly, he bought 200 cheesesteaks for the team. Further evidence of him trying to get the whole roster to love the place so get rid of him now!
If he ordered them "wit wiz" then he's dead to me.
-
Agree with those that said he's not a fit for a variety of reasons.
-
Browns are starting Kizer and trying to trade Brock. A bit too soon for Kizer I think. He moved the ball but he was erratic with throws at times, and slides HEAD FIRST on runs. Browns fans are going to be giddy and scared at the same time this season.
He's getting the job now because Osweiler and Kessler have been so bad. He's not ready, but is still their best option despite that.
-
Tyrod Taylor is one of the Bills two biggest stars?
-
Out of the 2016 draft they got the following:Draft picks mean nothing if they aren't used correctly.
The Browns had 14 picks in 2016, and so far, they have gotten virtually nothing out of that draft class.
It's early, but from what I understand, only 2-3 of those picks are even slated to start this year.
- #1 WR
- #3 WR
- #4 WR
- starting RT
- #2 TE
- backup QB
- starting DE
- rotational DE/DT
- starting MLB
- starting SLB via trade
- starting CB via trade
- starting S
- plus additional picks in the 2017 and 2018 drafts, one of which was used to take Kizer and another Peppers

At this point I really do not care. If we can't or are not going to sign McCoy Hughes etc.. next year then trade them now and get useful assets for the future.
But at some point the bills are going to have to stick with a coach and GM thru the thin no matter what.
Hughes is signed through 2019 and he certainly seems to be playing up to his contract so I'm not sure what all the "should we re-sign him or not" discussion is about. He would be 32 years old when his deal ends or we could give him a short extension after 2018 if he's still playing well. Seems pretty team friendly with his roster bonuses so I don't know why anyone would want to change anything now.
-
And how many for the Bills over that span?
No, I SUPPORTED the trade of Watkins.
IDC how much talent you have elsewhere on the field. You're not winning ANYTHING of significance with Tyrod Taylor at QB.
Sorry about that. My bad. You're probably correct. Then the real issue is whether or not TT can be serviceable running the scheme that will be used going forward. There can be some significant development of the rest of the offensive players that will be here long term if he - or another QB on the roster - can do that.
-
Trade McCoy tomorrow. Don't fear the repercussions from a bunch of whining fans. Do what's right for the team. Complete the tank, compete for first overall. It's THAT important. I think the FO could get at least a second for McCoy. To have 2 firsts, 3 seconds and 2 thirds would make a whole lot more sense than competing for 4-12. DO IT.
Another tantrum thread started because the Bills traded Watkins. Super. Awesome contribution to the board.
-
dang,
Will this be yet another Wilson, Carr, Prescott, Bills didn't pick the franchise QB sitting there situation? Dude's only 21 and he looks more poise than Taylor (12 of the top 14 topics on TSW are on him lol) has ever shown.
Wow. Totally disagree with that assessment. I was expecting much better from your post and the article. He did well improvising and threw well on the run, but his work in the pocket was not good. His footwork is a mess, he moved around but not well. He did well with quick throws like screens, but much of his success was with stuff that won't work with starters on the field, He's got a long way to go. I hope he sees the field this season because that'll improve our draft pick from them.
-
If you could go back to this time last year, would you take a 2nd or even a 3rd for Gilmore?
2-6 with sammy last year and 5-3 without him. we might have imrpoved the team
Couple of good points here. I strongly suspect the posters whining about the Sammy trade won't have much to say about either.
-
It's almost as if McD already knew he wanted to get his own QB next year that fits the WCO he wants to run. If he really wanted to commit to Tyrod and put him in a position to succeed then he probably wouldn't be trying to make him do things he's clearly not good at.
Might be that the coaches are challenging TT in order to find out if he can be a long term answer at QB. If he can't do what they want, then they still might tailor the offense to fit him in the regular season. If he doesn't markedly improve and they don't do that, then he won't be starting here for long this season.

I turned 50 today brother. No lie.
Happy birthday! I hope you're doing something special today.

We have seen Tyrod for over two years now and he is the same crappy QB he was two years ago. He doesn't anticipate throws, he doesn't throw open receivers, and he can't throw into space. Hell most of the time he can't throw the ball over the middle of the field. These are serious limitations for a NFL QB. Tyrod Taylor is a running back that happens to be able to throw a football. He is like a wildcat runningback that we decided to use on every down.
I'd add that even his footwork was inconsistent in that game. I never really watched it before and I couldn't stop once I started. It was good more often than not but it was poor too often for an NFL starter. That said, Peterman had some similar issues too. I hated watching him throw off his back foot. He has to get the ball out - even if it's a throw away - rather than do that. Tyrod better hope Peterman doesn't fix those issues before the bye or game 5 might be it for him.
-
You again miss the point. 1k yards on 60 catches is higly productive.
Not really. It's solid production. I'd be disappointed if my #1 WR turned in that kind of performance. But I'd be very happy if my #2 did it.
Do you try to get Hundley this year?

If Hundley is worth having, then GB isn't moving him now. They've got nothing else behind Rodgers and even a decent backup QB could mean the difference between just making or just missing the playoffs if Rodgers misses a few weeks. I can't see them doing that for less than premium value and there's no reason to give that up for him at this point. He's signed through next season so GB wouldn't be in a hurry to get some value for him, especially this close to the season starting.
