Dragonborn10 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Not worth that kind of money. Nix/Whaley had better have a plan for the OL though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RkFast Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 So draft a player, put time into him and then just as soon as he gets good, he can walk. Yay, parity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsCelticsAngelsBama Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 He's got a high motor though, and plays like what's left of his hair is on fire. Nice One Well, since they are not signing someone to a BIG contract, shouldn't the Bills end up getting some comp? Next year.... I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's frustrating to continue to come into drafts with more needs than picks, but what could they do? That's a huge offer and there are a lot of holes to fill.

Dr. Fong Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I have a feeling he didn't want to be here and that's too much money to pay for a guard. Too bad. Turn the page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in Chicago Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Per Shefter. 5 years, $39 million. I thought the Bills should have signed him for 5 yr/$40 MM. I am surprised the Bills did not beat that offer. On record here to say I am extremely disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) This is horrible news. The Titans got him for a fair price too. He was easily one of our 5 best players. And he was durable and young. This should never have happened. Edited March 12, 2013 by Bill from NYC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Cain Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I will cry if and when we draft a QB in the 1st round only to not pay up when the rookie contract expires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 This is horible news. They got him for a fair price too. He was easily one of our top 5 best players. And he was durable and young. This should never have happened. $8M/yr for an OG is fair? PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 So draft a player, put time into him and then just as soon as he gets good, he can walk. Yay, parity! Happens to all teams. Jake Long probably leaving Dolphins, Wallace leaving Steelers..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 So draft a player, put time into him and then just as soon as he gets good, he can walk. Yay, parity! Just think of how this board would have reacted if he was the #1 pick in his draft class, instead of #51... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Best wishes, Andy. dammit! I HATE to lose good players. Personally, I don't think that's a budget buster and probably in line with top tier OG. Dammit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffOrange Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Too much for an OG who's never made a Pro Bowl or had playoff experience. He's a fine player, but that is a budget buster... Can't think of two things I care less about in an OG than playoff experience and Pro Bowls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Too much for an OG who's never made a Pro Bowl or had playoff experience. He's a fine player, but that is a budget buster... Exactly. Hope he enjoys Tenn. He is more easily replaced than Byrd or Wood, who we have money to pay by letting him go. Overpaying for your own FA is as bad as overpaying for another teams.

habes1280 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 And wow-- this just in-- the Dolphins ink Mike Wallace in 5 year/$65 million deal. (Again, per Shefter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should never have happened. Yeah, I'm disappointed too Bill, but $8MM is a big price tag. That's money than can help fix the LB core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QCity Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Don't like to lose him but I applaud the FO for letting him walk at that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 But it did. And there was almost nothing the Bills could have done about it. Blame Andy. They could have signed him last year like they should of. Guy is possibly the best G in the league. 8 mil is not that ridiculous. This is crap and I'm not happy with the Bills for letting him walk like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
