BillsFanM.D. Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 So after Maybin gets cut what team out there thinks they "transform" him into good player? Unfortunately...the Patriots are the obvious choice. I think that potential move would be the 'curse breaker' we all need. Maybin has shown the Bills/fans a big fat zero. Cut him now and move on. Hopefully he unleashes some of his 'mayhem' elsewhere. I.e. wrecking his own team's future/salary cap etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Linen Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Someone would invite him to the remainder of camp, then he'll get cut by that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Pittsburgh likes to work with their LB's...or a coach out there who is just great with defenses. He will not simply be out of football, someone will sign him cheap and see what they can get from him because the upside is just worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hplarrm Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 What upside. 1. Bills have already paid him a huge bonus as part of his rookie deal so a team gets him for the NFL minimum. 2. He still has a bunch of raw speed and the other demographics which first attracted the Bills. He is a laughable player but was not a laughable draft pick. 3. He was younger than the norm when he was picked and is still young. 4. The fact he rode the Bills bench also means he has little wear and tear as a player. 5. He gets to pick and choose if he is cut and likely Maybin goes someplace without the immediate needs at LB the Bills have and preferably someplace with an established LB who will be around for a couple of years to teach Maybin. 6. Many coaches are proud legends in their own mind and the challenge of taking on a failed 1st round pick who has played not only for two HCs but 2 DCs and 3 LB coaches will be too much of a temptation for some team, Ironically, given the amped up new CBA actually forcing some teams to spend money, if Maybin is cut early enough he almost certainly signs an incentive laden deal which will pay him huge money on top of the Bills bonus if he makes the bonuses and there might even be a flat out bidding war to try to attract him even despite his pathetic non-play. His play gives him no value but speculation in this business gives him potentially a lot of worth which might be reflected in his new contract. He sucks, and this sucks but sorry that is simply life in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 everything said Well put and it surprises me how little see these types of things. It translates so many ways, and many will never believe it but we often luck out from these deals more then most teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rippedcity Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 He had tremendous athletic ability coming out of college, however he was raw and immature as a player (only had 1 season as a starter coming out of Penn St). Maybin and Merriman are close friends, both growing up in the same Baltimore area. Hopefully he used the off-season to train with Merriman and picked his brain about what it takes to become an impact player in the NFL. Why cut him now? You might as well give him the entire training camp to see if Merriman and Wannstedt can motivate him into the player the Bills front office envisioned with the 11th pick of the draft.
