The solution is to get better players.

He was a bargain for his three years of All-Pro play. It would have been fair and reasonable to reward him by maintaining his salary. $3.5M is chump change. We wasted that on Coleman. Penny wise, pound foolish.

Did EJ play at a Pro-Bowl level for 3 years? I don't understand the comparison.

What was compassionate about the way the Bills treated Richie and where did you get the impression that I supported blind loyalty? Loyalty is a two way street. I know exactly what the Bills did and I think it was wrong. Business doesn’t have to be cold blooded. In fact, being cold blooded is probably bad business. The Bears certainly don’t appear to be a cold blooded organization. https://www.google.com/amp/s/bearswire.usatoday.com/2018/06/04/chicago-bears-tight-end-zach-miller-contract-injury/amp/ Not sure what this discussion has to do with the Crimson Tide. This is the wrong forum to discuss college football.

I think there is a Madden mentality. Football isn’t a video game, and business is more than just bean counting. It’s asinine to be loyal to your employees and to treat them well? Where did you learn that management strategy? I suppose that you perform your best when you feel you or your co-workers are being mistreated?

If Allen gets severely injured because of the poor guard play, how wise will the $3.5M in savings on Rochie’s contract look. Plus, you don’t think current players and future free agents didn’t see what the Bills pulled? Don’t whine when we can’t attract top free agents, or we have to overpay to get them to come here. The Bills were penny wise, pound foolish with Richie.

Being loyal to your employees is bad for business? It's better to treat your employees like pieces of meat? That's good for business? It's the type of organization you would like to work for and pour your heart into? I would argue that being disloyal to your employees is really bad for business in the long run.

He over delivered for 3 yrs at a bargain price.

I think I've made that clear, the Bills shouldn't have cut his salary. Time for you to answer. Does loyalty mean anything to you?

I'll ask the same question, does loyalty mean anything to you?

He had another year on his contract with the Bills so I'm not sure what you are talking about. Does loyalty mean anything to you?

What market are you referring to?

Shady offered to pony up his own money to get Richie back. Would you do that for a crazy person? How is it erratic behavior to fire your agent for not negotiating well for you? That seems like perfectly sensible behavior to me.

Richie publicly fired him. You think that will help him win clients?

He obviously wasn't counting on Richie getting nothing. Selling Richie out backfired on him.

The Bills shafted him. He deserved better treatment.

Richie's agent apparently sold him out. Obviously he didn't predict it would backfire on him.

Whoever was responsible for that contract screwed up.

Penny wise, pound foolish. Should have paid the man. And everyone is a loser in the end.

Free agents see how an organization treats it's players. The Bills shouldn't have treated Richie so poorly.

I see Levi Wallace on the roster sometime in the near future.

Lee is supposed to be a good blocker. I haven’t seen it.

We have. None are better than the ones we already have, apparently.

He developed Drew Stanton and Hurts has played much better under his tutelage. He had success with Arkansas’ QB’s too. So why didn’t the Bills’ hire Culley as the OC If he’s as great as you suggest? I’d like to see younger coaches rather than retreads.

Enos has coached for a number of different programs. Coaching career (HC unless noted) 1991-1993 Michigan State (GA) 1994–1995 Lakeland (OC/QB/WR) 1996 Northern Michigan (OC/RB) 1997–1998 Southern Illinois (QB/WR) 1999 Missouri State (OC/QB) 2000–2002 Western Michigan (QB) 2003 North Dakota State (OC/QB) 2004–2005 Cincinnati (QB) 2006 Michigan State (QB) 2007–2009 Michigan State (RB) 2010–2014 Central Michigan 2015–2017 Arkansas (OC/QB) 2018–present Alabama (QB) He has recent experience coaching QB’s unlike Culley. Seems like a guy who could replace Daboll if required.
