[Can someone explain the tender situation (Gillislee & Groy)]

Never thought of that

Smart and makes sense

especially when a draft pick is tied to them, teams are more motivated to pay less by factoring in the lost pick value.

[Bring Byrd back]

Always go young at DB, WR and RB.

[Can someone explain the tender situation (Gillislee & Groy)]

It's actually a sneaky way to secure a long term deal. Tender below their value to encourage another team to negotiate a long term deal then simply match it.

[Can someone explain the tender situation (Gillislee & Groy)]

I believe it gives the Bills a right to match outside offers otherwise they take the compensation value if we don't. 5th for Mike and nothing for Groy.

 

Either way, we keep them unless another team really blows them out with a terribly bad team deal.

[We Loose On The Field And In The Offseason]

I don't know why everyone is getting all pissy over the Patriots offseason, it's not like we were one piece away from surpassing them.

[Bills Release Safety Corey Graham]

DB is a young mans position. I like the direction the defense is headed.

[Ryan Groy Drawing Interest from at Least 4 Other Teams]

What in the world are you talking about?

 

Boyst said to trade Wood for mid round pick AFTER Bills match Groy's offer.

 

I'm just pointing out that he wouldn't get a pick back, teams would just wait for him to be cut.

[Ryan Groy Drawing Interest from at Least 4 Other Teams]

I don't see the comparison, Romo has 3 yrs left at an average of $18mil/season, Wood has a 1-yr hit of $4 mil, which would easily be renegotiated because the new team won't be saddled with the dead cap.

so given the choice for taking a declining player for 1 year at $4 million or drafting a player who is likely improving for $1 million for 4 years, what do you think most teams would pick?

[Ryan Groy Drawing Interest from at Least 4 Other Teams]

The trading team will only take on his salary of $4mil.

 

if teams are unwilling to give a mid round pick for Romo (more productive at far greater cap hit) than I definitely don't think an old center gets you anything.

[Ryan Groy Drawing Interest from at Least 4 Other Teams]

he is. But bang for buck I want groy. We can trade wood for even a 4th to a team in need at OL or lb depth

I doubt we could get anything due to the cap hit.

[Welcome Micah Hyde]

I suspect the Patriots sudden desire to spend picks and money for immediate help has more to do with trying to win again while Brady is still capable rather then a continuation of brilliant Asset management.

[Vlad Ducasse]

Extra compensation picks is a byproduct of teams who draft and develop well. Its because they are able to develop the kind of depth in positions that they can let players go in free agency and get the picks, not because they intentionally plan on losing players just to gain picks.

[The Pegula's are bad owners.]

Maybe, its too early to tell. But at least with the Pegulas they are still in Buffalo.

[Bills tried to sign RT Ricky Wagner; headed to Lions]

Having a great line would really help develop a QB. Just saying.
