#1) if he gets hurt again next year, 5th year becomes guaranteed at $13M.Yep lots of takers for an injured $13M WR
#2) if he does not get hurt, he still is $13M with only a year left to UFA..no one picking that up either
see above...no one is trading for a $13M receiver with one year left on his deal
Kills me on here.... everyone and their brother praises the Pats( as do I) but when the Bills start to make decisions like the Pats where the good of the team is valued over the feelings of a player or the appearance of a bad pick , they get blasted as being cheap.
This is a smart, smart, move. I am not worried bout the $2M ...that will be spread over several years with a new long-term contract. Sammy aint playing under no tag in 18, they will get a long-term deal done.
