Agree. NFL should call the years that fall outside the guaranteed portion of the contract a club option. I think if worded that way, players would demand more guaranteed money and it would avoid a lot more situations like this. As it is, NFL contracts are decidedly one-sided in favor of teams/ownership. No such thing as a player option in NFL, at least that I'm aware.

Once the guaranteed money is paid, it essentially isn't a contract anymore. Seattle can walk away from it, but Lynch can't. Surprised players union hasn't pushed NFL to change this.

AP Source: NFL stadium sites explored in Toronto
BuffaloRebound replied to Insomniac99's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
+1000. Wawrow deserves serious kudos. No way leather-pants can be trusted. He could've addressed the rumors months ago about his intentions to move team to Toronto. He didn't and is only leaking it now through fools like Jaworski that he wants to keep team in Buffalo after it looks like only WNY-bids will be considered. -
I'm surprised more NFL players don't do this. The second a player isn't worth what he's getting paid, he gets cut. Lynch is worth a hell of a lot more to that team this year than $5m.

Not sure how you do a valuation without some kind of numbers projection. Jags and Cleveland are the 2 most recent sales but those were 2 years ago. I suppose you could use Bills current revenue and compare it to Jax and Cleveland's revenue from 2 years ago and corresponding sale price to come up with a valuation, but that's basically meaningless to anyone who doesn't plan on keeping Bills in WNY.

Bills sell naming rights to fieldhouse/admin building
BuffaloRebound replied to Beerball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Once she gets her $1B+, I hope she forks over a nice chunk of change for a new stadium to put Ralph's name on it for the next 30-40 years. -
Marshawn considering retirement?
BuffaloRebound replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Can't begrudge the guy. If he saved his money, he doesn't have to work anymore. With his punishing running style, he probably doesn't want to end up like Earl Campbell. -
Wanna buy Ralph Wilson's art collection?
BuffaloRebound replied to \GoBillsInDallas/'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Does seem a bit strange. Maybe if Ralph borrowed money against the team, the debt had to be settled up following a change of ownership which this would qualify as. -
Wanna buy Ralph Wilson's art collection?
BuffaloRebound replied to \GoBillsInDallas/'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Kind of funny that Ralph supposedly drove around in a Taurus but had $30-40m worth of artwork hanging on his walls. -
Should the Bills Cut Dareus? - Jerry Sullivan Article
BuffaloRebound replied to MClem06's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't have a problem with Sullivan's article. I wouldn't cut Dareus, but don't mind a local sports-writer calling him out publicly. -
Ballmer: 2 Billion for Clippers
BuffaloRebound replied to Hail Flutie's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I was feeling pretty good about Bills staying in Buffalo until this absurdity. Thank god none of these rumored Toronto people have that type of crazy money to throw around. Hope Bills get sold soon. Only a matter of time before NFL is back in LA if the Clippers are worth $2B. -
Rock Star You'd Most Want Owning Bills?
BuffaloRebound replied to truth on hold's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Gotta be the Boss. Springsteen would be a perfect fit for the blue collar Bills. -
I think the boycott is great. It's blue collar, loyal Bills fans who've supported the team for 50+ years vs. a big hair pop-rock artist who sold out a long time ago and wants to take their team away from them. These people don't have the money that Bon Jovi has but the optics are horrible for him.

Golisano to bid on Bills & propose new WS staduim
BuffaloRebound replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Interesting that the dinner meeting happened right before the draft. Maybe it was Brandon running by the draft strategy with the new ownership group. All the tea leaves are pointing to Bills being sold very soon and that the new owner is probably already known. -
Downtown Stadium Article
BuffaloRebound replied to need therapy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I was for a Niagara Falls stadium until I read this. Writer brings up a lot of good points. Region desperately needs a vibrant downtown area. Bringing 70k+ to the downtown area helps even if it's only 10 times a year. -
Don Esmonde article about new ownership
BuffaloRebound replied to vegas55's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'd hope the new ownership group has deep enough pockets to simply write a check instead of financing any of the purchase price. Millstein's bid for Redskins was supposedly shot down for financing the purchase price. And if the funding of the Ralph improvements is any hint NY State and the local governments will fund the lion's share of a new stadium. -

Can't see how Pears makes the team at his current salary. -
Sammy Watkins on NFL Total Access
BuffaloRebound replied to XXL Franchize's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Peerless was a 2nd rounder and played well. Donahoe actually got a 1st rounder for Peerless from Atlanta where he was a disappointment.
