I know very little about this sort of thing, but if that article is anywhere close to the money.....Wow!
I wonder if the NFL actual will investigate this, or just chalk it up as a fluke unexplainable occurance and move on.
Oh how I would love yet another cheating scandle for the Patriots.
-
it wambulance time for people. At this point the patriots are so deep into peoples heads their is no need to cheat.
....and yet they still do.

Cheaters jamming the radio -- standard practice at Gillette.
It really makes one wonder about the tech used for radioing in the plays. Who needs to tape hand signals when you can just listen in...

Those odds show it is probable.
If it was improbable then they wouldn't even have odds.
I think you need to check your dictionary on the definition of "probable".

spotrac is showing 6 yrs / $95m ?
http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/marcell-dareus/
- $5.35M in incentives
$107.93 m if incentives are earned if 2015 salary included[/size]
i believe the 108 includes 2015. The 100 is for the next 6 years
Thanks guys.
I imagine that the incentives will typically be reached(probowl etc) so it's a 6yr/100M extension. Better(cheaper) than I was hoping for.
I think the sportrac is correct, although the 100m is through expected to be reached incentives of 5+m from the 95, which I believe count against the cap.
Thanks to you too.
Hell, thanks to everyone! What a great day to be a Bills fan!
-
Does anybody have the confirmed figure yet? I have seen reports of $108M, $100M and $95M(spotrac)....all for 6 year extensions.

What do you mean you wouldn't read that much into it? The team controls this depth chart posting and all the other positions are exactly as we understand them. ....
RB isn't.

Defensive starters inherited by Whaley
Dareus, Gilmore, M. Williams. A. Williams, K. Anderson, J.Hughes, N. Bradham, Manny Lawson
Defensive starters added by Whaley:
Robey, Graham, Darby,
Whaley is just a guy who is a GM. He has exhibited no particular expertise at bringing in top notch talent. He is the most over rated part of the Bills.
Even the Bills additions this year on offense, Incognito and Taylor are Rex Ryan adds, not Whaley adds.
Whaley owns the wide receivers and McCoy. The rest of the team is not really his doing.
Your facts checker was obviously away on holidays when you wrote this.

Man, did we have to go the sexual route with this?
Don't blame me. I wasn't the one boasting about their solo sexual exploits on a public forum.
-
.....
One thing is certain...As a Bills fan I'll be pulling for him hard...
The same way I'll pull hard for EJ....
Man, in the privacy of your own home you can do whatever sexual activity you want....but it's not really any of our business.

Exact quote from article: "the Bills have basically used their last three first-rounders to come away with Watkins and nothing more"
The part I had in quotations was also an exact quote from the article....and was the part that was originally being discussed (2nd paragraph in Bills section from memory). The part that you quoted means exactly what it says.
I think the point that many are missing here is....what does it matter how badly the Bills might have mismanaged in putting the team together? It is the talent on the field that counts towards whether they are good or not....not how many mistakes, cap issues, or wasted draft picks it took to get them on the field.

Tyrod Taylor’s agent tells me that report about him wearing diamond-studded mouthpiece is a “complete fabrication.” Never talked to dentist.
Tyrod Taylor’s agent, Adisa Bakari, says that Taylor and his family are offended by the notion that he would even wear a diamond mouthpiece.
I'm starting to get nervous about TT's indecisiveness. First he gets diamond teeth....now he finds dentists offensive. How will he cope making decisions on the field!

Great post Dibs.
I admittedly hated the trade and think that my reasons did have some merit. The draft was said to be loaded with receivers, we did not have anyone who even resembled a good quarterback, and we had major holes in the OL.
I do NOT hate the trade now, but it's a bit early for me to say that I like it. The 2015 first round pick might have really helped us. I guess we will never know. Also, if Sammy gets hurt bad, there goes 2 first round picks (and a 4th) down the drain.
Sammy does show potential to be great. If he wins us some games he will have been well worth the huge hit we took in order to obtain him. Time will tell.
Thanks Bill. In my mind the "we don't have a top QB" was/is by far the strongest argument against the trade. Sure, a star WR is always going to be helpful on any team but when you have a good QB throwing to a star WR....that's when it can become magical. I think the "plan" was perhaps too reliant upon the young QB(EJ) developing as hoped for into a good QB....which was a bit of a gamble. Hopefully we can achieve the desired result regardless through TT....and if not, hope EJs improvement isn't a mirage and continues.
-
Maybe it helps him enunciate the cadences in the huddle. Perhaps Leodis can borrow it during interviews.
Literal lol.
-
I was just joking anyways but his mouthpiece could end up being the same topic as EJ's visor was last year.
But how does he use his bling mouthpiece to hide his slow eyes?
-
Oh really?
Well, yes. It doesn't mean that they don't....but it certainly doesn't mean that they do. Why question something so obvious?
And re: the maths... The trade cost the Bills one 1st round pick. The player cost the Bills two 1st round picks. Do you honestly think that people who word it that way (myself included) are somehow tŕying to say that the trade cost us two first round picks? Even though every Bills fan(and anyone else who was interestdd on draft day) knows exactly what the trade was?
For the record, I liked the trade at the time of the draft....liked it all last year....and still like it now. Two picks IMO is well worth it for one of the premium prospects in the draft....particularly for a character like Watkins.
-
If you ignore the 1st round pick we got in trade then sure, it's true. Just like the sky is purple if you ignore that it's blue.
Huh? Dareus cost us one 1st round pick. Darby cost us one 2nd round pick. Watkins cost us two 1st round picks.
Just because someone uses sleightly different termanology that somebody else does not mean they have some sort of agenda.
-
Who cares what he wears? He could wear bright pink pantaloons on his head for all I care, as long as he plays well.
-
.....
Much worse is his idiotic assertion that Bills gave up two first round picks to obtain Watkins, in effect he says, costing the Bills three first round picks to obtain Watkins....
It is a dunmb-arse article, no doubts....but he never said that. He said "Watkins cost the Bills 2 1st round picks"...which is true.
-
Ha ha, we have the best defense which means it can't get better so that's a strike against the Bills? Since Tom Brady can't get better I guess the Pats** are doomed as well.
Well no.....they cheat.
-
prohibitive of what? Lol
Hehe....you know. Prohibitive of the cap. That money we spent on star players could have been spent on, um, well, other star players.
-
"The problem, of course, is that those moves came at a prohibitive cost...."
I wonder how many extra games we lose this season due to that prohibative cost? With logic like that he would fit right in around here.
Pats are ruining love of NFL

If people read this article it would answer some of the questions running through this thread. I'm not a tech-head, but if the logic in the article is sound, the NFL should be doing yet another thorough investigation involving the Patriots.
