    So Boldin retired?

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Then why the heck did he sign here in the first place? Is he (and his agent) really that stupid and unaware of who is the QB in Buffalo just a couple weeks ago when he signed the deal to come here?

     

    Tanking worked so well for Pegulas other team..............

    Yeah, I knew the stupid Oilers would get like their 3Rd first overall pick in the last decade with McDavid, despite the Sabres having a the best chance at getting that pick. It did work out for the Oilers, eventually.

    McBean came in and, despite their already thin margin for error, made it even harder for themselves right off the bat. For no reason.

    I'm so happy the McBeane thing is catching on more and more the faster the ship sinks. I wonder if they will get rid of TT or Shady. I don't think they'll get much for them, but when you're burning down the house to spite the mouse...

    how many wins?

    Well, I guess we see if TT is worth a cent.

     

    As a Rams season ticket holder, I loved the trade. As a Bills fan near LA, I hated it.

     

     

    I will give this, to the objective folks, Rams season tickets were not sold out when the trade was made. But, Goff is like Ryan lite, IMO. Sammy will light it up this year and the Rams will get at least 6 wins.

     

     

     

    The Bills 7 wins.

    Bills trade Sammy Watkins to Rams for CB Gaines, 2nd rd pick

    Spotrac shows the Bills with an estimated $26M in cap space for 2018 -

    Sammy just recently said that NFL players don't get paid enough and he think that him and his fellow 2014 receiver class will change all that. That doesn't sound like someone that's going to sign a deal with a reasonable cap hit. That sounds like a guy looking to set a new record high for WR pay to me.

     

    So, let's assume that we tag him then. What the franchise tag for WR looking like in 2018? Roughly $17M or so?

     

    So that leaves $9M in cap space, with more than just the QB position to fill out, roster wise. I don't see how they'd even have a chance at signing Cousins (but to be clear, I don't think they will try and break the bank to sing him anyway), let alone fill,out the rest of the roster.

     

    That's assuming that they add no other free agents to try and help the team. You only get a comp pick for Sammy if you lose more players to FA than you sign.

     

    So you'd possibly have to fore-go trying to improve the team in order to ensure you get that 3rd round comp pick.

     

    And a 3rd round comp pick comes after the 3rd round is over, so it's really more/less a 4th rounder. The 2nd we got for Sammy could be in the top 5 of the 2nd round. I'm not saying that Sammy wasn't worth more than that, because I think he was. But getting what could be a high 2nd is a lot better compensation that a comp 3rd (aka a 4th) if they didn't have intentions of re-signing Sammy.

    That is just mental masterbation to try and justify this malarkey... They lose a #1 WR in exchange for moving up a round and year. Oh, they also got a worthless CB, too.

     

     

    Rams fans are all happy, for a reason. Whereas, about half of Bills fans have lied themselves into thinking it was a good move for Buffalo. Unless there is something nobody else knows, this was a tragically horrible move.

     

    Congrats, you gave up a year of Sammy in order to move up a round and year in the draft.
