But the most irksome for me is when they have said they can't afford to get into a bidding war to keep a talented player who is about to become a free agent. They have indicated this many times during the years. But in my opinion, you can lose more money than you save by letting that high-priced player walk away. Teams that consistently lose because of a lack of top eschelon players lose sales in tickets, souvenirs, etc. They also lose the respect of players, coaches and GMs, who are then not interested in being part of the organization. They also create an unfavorable image of their city. The poor performance and won/lost record and negative image may actually out weigh the "savings", although that is hard to prove. Unfortunately, our home team is one of the handfull of teams who believe that paying high salaries is a waste of profit dollars. Most NFL teams appear to believe you have to spend money to make money. Which group do you think has the better strategy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob in STL Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I cannot understand why people are so preoccupied with past Bills. This is the era of free agency people. Can we just make a list of all the players that played for the Bills and then went on to other teams and had good careers. Because this ONLY happens to the Bills. I'll start - 1967 Daryl Lamonica was traded to the Oakland Raiders for Tom Flores, Art Powell and three old smelly jock straps. Then we really screwed up because we did not keep Flores and he coached a team to the Super Bowl. Ok. who's next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
