He is right. Fairburn, Bove, and sportrac are all saying $15m. But they also don't know the specifics.
15 million a year extension, added to his 1 million this year. 5 years, 61 million, 12.2 per year

Not according to the journos and cap tracking sites he isnt. You got it wrong he is making just over 15m a year
What "journos" you follow. Schefter specifically said he is under through 2024:
2020: Year 1
2021: Year 2
2022: Year 3
2023: Year 4
2024: Year 5

The money is the extension not the total. Its about 15m a year not the 12m you suggested
Not even sure what you mean. He is making 12.2 for the next 5 years.

Its 4 years not 5
He has this year left at 1 million cash. It's an extension, not a new contract.

5th
12th in terms of yearly average.
It's an extension, not a new contract. Need to add the current year to total.
-
5 years, 61 million
12.2 average
12th in league for LT. Tied with a guy like Tyron Smith from Dal, or Eric Fisher from KC

I am hearing the Buffalo Bills have several players in for a workout/COVID-19 testing today. Sounds like some big guys, possibly defensive lineman. Stay Tuned......

If they wanted to upgrade D line, they should have signed Griffen, you had a lot of respect for Frazier.

Sure the Lacrosse player that No Longer can play.
How about the FACT that if you HAVE EVER tested positive with COVID you need a medical waiver to enlist in the military. Sorry you get your facts of well not going to turn this political
Who?
Is the last part English?

If your going to opt out, just opt out. The attention these two want on themselves is old. Do it and go away for a year. Don't want to hear from either.

Loan or advance call it what you want. It gets PAID BACK.
The point is I DONT CARE. If you want the ability to opt our of your job for a year, train your ass off become a Professional Athlete. but comparing this industry to your 9 to 5 is comparing apples to freaking MARS.
Sure take a Little Google Search about the lasting affects of this disease.
Everything you google isn't facts.
Show me specific examples of athletes getting the illness and their career being ended due to the effects. There have been countless athletes getting it, so where are the athletes that are getting their career ended from it.
Sorry, but you can't compare a 24 year old athlete to an 80 year old cancer survivor.

Well it isnt, But it VERY well could be a Career ender.
Have you read what the survivors deal with, Heart and Lung issues, blood issues.
Though they likely would live through a COVID exposure and bout of it, their Career Might not.
You're gonna have to show me proof of these issues with professional athlete's because I haven't heard about athletes losing careers over complications from COVID.
These guys play football, every snap they take could be career ender.
Using COVID as a possible career ender is really stretching it.

If Tre really means what he is saying about a game thats not bigger than life he should retire now. His job could literally leave him with a legitimate long term brain injury which could leave his "girl" (if he decides to marry her), and his son with dealing with someone like Darryl Talley. Sure he won't make millions of dollars, but football really is bigger than life, isnt it?
Yeap, but these players somehow think COVID is an immediate death sentence.
The older I get, the more I just become nauseated with athletes in general.

No players should be criticized for making decisions they feel using the best interest of their family. Covid is the real deal.
There is a case to be made the opting out is NOT the best interest of his family.
By real deal, what do you mean? % wise, Tre/his wife and kids are extremely low. If you are trying to eliminate all risk in life, how the heck would you ever live.

Why wait? They obviously feel that they have cheaper options at the position who will give them the same level of performance. Do Long a solid and let him go now when he can catch on elsewhere.
Injuries happen during training camp.

Its a different lockdown. Read the NFL rules.
Not sure what you mean. If Tre is so worried about his family contracting the disease, he should be following strict lockdown whether he is playing or not.
At least with him playing, he and his family will be able to get tested regularly unlike the general public.
Lockdown and play = get tested regularly
Lockdown and not play = not get tested regularly

He was more mentioning how he doesn't want his family to have to live in lock down for 5 months, to protect him, thus protecting the team as a whole and/or him not seeing them for 5 months due to this. Everyone's families have to buy in for this to work as well.
Ummm, the entire US was supposed to be living in essentially lock down since March. Not sure I even understand what he is trying to say. So is he saying his family hasn't been living in essential lockdown since March? That's an issue if that is the case.
-
Another perspective I don't understand.
There is a better chance Tre gets the virus hanging out in Louisiana than he does playing in the NFL. If he gets the virus down there, he is not going to have the testing he gets with the NFL. If he gets it playing, at least he will know right away he has it. He gets it in Louisiana, he won't get test results for days. Best way to protect your family is to get tested the most. The virus is everywhere, it's not like him not playing means he won't be exposed to it.

Crazy, right? Essential workers are needed at work and guys playing a game for your entertainment can stay home because you don’t need but just want them.
So your career determines your level of worth?
-
It would really be a shame if nurses, doctors, and essential workers started opting out of their jobs.
Baffles me how a professional athlete can opt out while others are truly risking being exposed to the illness.
So if he opts out, is he not going to leave his house or see anyone till a vaccine comes?

Save money because the cap will likely be 20 million or so lower next season, and the Bills have Dawkins, Milano and other guys on 1year deals to extend or re-sign. In that scenario you don’t keep a backup offensive lineman at Long’s cap numbers. Or you don’t keep Long for that reason coupled with behind the scenes information we will never know.
There is no cap benefit to cutting him now versus Sept.

This is how completely unfounded rumors start. Stop it.
lol, ok buddy. I will sure stop because you told me to.
Please explain why they would cut Long now when they haven't even started camp yet and guys are going to get hurt? The only reason to cut the guy now is to save money. Don't give me the whole nonsense about letting him catch on to another team. He doesn't need another team if he is on this team.

Winters surely will cost more than Long would have.
Wouldn't be so sure of that. Long was expected to make 3.074 and 4.5 million over the next two year. I would think Winters is right around there.
-
Seems like a strange time to release him, unless Beane has been given a financial mandate from above.
With the new rules of carrying extra o lineman, you can have a lot of them on the roster.
Long was not that great, but he is better than Ike.
-
This signing should tell you about how the team feels about Feliciano coming back. They are preparing to not have Feliciano all year (which is really likely).
It wouldn't shock me to see zero drop off between Winters and Feliciano. Winters career before Buffalo was much more accomplished than Feliciano and I believe in Bobby Johnson. I think he is a huge selling point to O lineman.
The only thing that worries me about this move, is this team's obsession with keeping Ford at RT. He just wasn't good last year.

How do you have a 4 year average for a guy under contract for 5 years? It's an average, not exact values.
