boyst Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I don't get the "restructure" bit. He's in the last year of his contract. What is there to restructure? evidently his body and his insurance premium, the way people talk around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not at the table Karlos Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) IMO, probably not. If I were in his agent's shoes, I'd tell any team that I'm not renegotiating the contract without a raise; no reason to give up a bird in the hand. On the open market, where he's subject to his current-day value, I think we'd have a better shot at a reasonable deal. that would be my only hang up. But I could also see a bidding war happen and the price going up pretty high. Imo I take the guarantee for the low draft pick. However of all the teams that need a qb we are the most attractive so he may decide to come here for less money.

C.Biscuit97 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 so why not trade for him? Because he's not close to as good as some people pretend him to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 so why not trade for him? Sorry, I misread your post. I should have said "no." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 if they can draw up contracts for multiple FAs I'm pretty sure one more won't be a problem.Bigger than you'd think. Obviously you've never had someone try to slip something bad for you into a contract before. Both sides need time to negotiate and comb through these deals - especially such large ones. Agents and GMs can destroy their careers with a stupid mistake like that. The Bills are not in as bad of an immediate spot cap-wise as most think anyway. The Rule of 51 applies until final cut downs so they have more space now than it appears than when looking at the total for all of the contracts.

It's not that serious. They have been discussing numbers with many free agents for the last few days. It's not like everybody needs to stop and just focus on that one contract.

scribo Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 there's this bit of news on Twitter: Joe Chenelly @jchenelly 6m6 minutes ago I believe #SamBradford could quite possibly, maybe even likely, be waking up this morning for the last time as a member of the #Rams. #NFL He didn't specifically say anything about the Bills but this could be something... Chenelly called it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
