90sBills

Hard to argue against that but the philosophy of filling the roster with decent cap friendly wr’s should still apply with Allen. Looking back tying that much resource to 1 receiver in Diggs has set the Bills back. KC let their star receiver go and opted for a platoon of so so guys that don’t cost much. That has certainly worked out very well for them.

Again if you’re not clear of the contract details you should find out. It’s interesting that you’re adamant about your stance without being sure of all the details. 15m guaranteed for 2 years is 7.5m per year. That is similar to 7m per year in my book. Yes obviously more years to a contract will have more guaranteed money. But what if a player thinks he can get a much better offer if he has a big year. Brown accepted a 1 year deal that’s similar (per year basis) to what he probably would get if he accepted a 2-3 year deal. He probably thinks he’s worth double that and don’t want to be restricted to a low multi year deal. Players do this when they feel it’s a better path for them to the contract they want. The franchise tag situation is different. Tagged players are in demand in the open market. That’s why tagged players gets paid the average of the top 5 salaries of their position in the tagged year. They would have no problem fetching a lucrative long term deal so of course they wouldn’t want a 1 year deal in their situation. That’s not where Brown is at. You think that if the Panthers had offered Brown 15m guaranteed for a 3yr deal he would take that over the 1yr 7m he got? His agent would be sued for malpractice if he let his client take a deal like that.

It could definitely pay off or backfire big time since KC spreads the ball around quite a bit. Kelce is going to get his. Rice is emerging. I think they still draft a wr. Elite QBs definitely raise receivers productions. That’s why I think Samuel is going to explode here with Allen. It’s going to be fun watching Bills offense next season.

It’s not difficult to find out what’s guaranteed with his deal. It’s disclosed. And yes 7m for 1 year is similar to 15m for 2 years. You sure like to say things in absolutes when it’s differs from your opinions. lol

He’s getting 7M guaranteed and up to 11M with incentives. That’s very similar to 15M guaranteed for two years that Samuel got. I disagree that Brown couldn’t get multi year offers. He mostly likely did get them like Samuel’s. He probably thinks he deserves more and is clearly betting on himself to do well with Mahomes to cash in the following season. KC is going to get a very motivated player for sure.

And Samuel by how similar their deals are. Only difference is Brown is betting that he can get a bigger deal after next season while Samuel wanted the extra year of security.

It really doesn’t. At the minimum should’ve been a deal similar Samuel. But I think he’s betting on himself with Mahomes to cash in 2025.

7m is guaranteed

When you have a great QB you’re able to do that and still win Superbowls. Why can’t we get on this strategy? We have a great qb too.

Brown or Samuel would do well with KC. Just shocking how little KC paid for Brown.

Unbelievably cheap signing. I’d thought he’d cost more than this with all the wr deals recently. With a deal this cheap KC is not done with the wr market.

Good. Let KC waste major $ on a slightly better Hardman.

McDuffie locked up Deebo pretty good in the Superbowl so maybe that’s not a good thing? 😂

Best signing so far! Keep ‘em coming!

Absolutely! Let’s run it back with the same results!

You of all people should know what I’m saying.

I’m not sure if you’re joking but seeing the amount of Mahomes threads around here suggests the opposite is true.

Agreed with most you said. The bright side is they will definitely get younger so it’s not all doom and gloom.

Shouldn’t we wait until at least training camp for these ‘we’re good enough’ threads? Fwiw Bills will win the division again.

Man that’s a lot of money for him to bet on football next season.

I can see a Juju type deal for him with KC.

Didn’t Bills just signed a LB?

Is this legal?

Should’ve signed Willie Gay instead. NO got a quality starter for cheap.

Turnovers gave Mia short field opportunities that got them back in it. But I agree with you that Bills defense usually don’t show up in the playoffs. Hopefully things will be different going forward with new casts.
