Buffaloed in Pa Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Per WGR twitter, Freddy staying with no changes to his contract. This is perfect. He deserves that money, and we aren't on the hook for guaranteed money beyond this year. Total win. That was you outside the stadium ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punch Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 If Rex Ryan and Greg Roman don't like Bryce Brown then Whaley needs to find an amicable compromise. If Rex and Greg wish to move on from Fred and Pegula obstructed them, that's a problem. I think a lot of things are on the table right now being discussed and no decision was considered concrete. Unfortunately, when a potential move like "cutting Fred Jackson" leaks to the public, it creates a firestorm. All the angst and hand wringing could be the result of private internal discussion leaking out from a disgruntled member of the front office that wants to release Fred. Hopefully, the Bills brain trust is unified in their vision for putting together this roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 1 when he was a GM. And it was while he spent 18 months trying to trade for Brown. I don't think it's a stretch to think that Whaley may think Bryce is actually better than Fred. He probably does and that was his decision. Or perhaps better considering age, salary, injury history. You were implying by "these are my guys" philosophy that he didn't want to look bad on the trade, like someone insinuated on twitter, and that was his driving force, not a reasonable analysis of who is a better fit, all things considered.

GG Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Shady + FredEx + Brown + Boobie I like this combo more than anything including Powell. That's something to consider, Bills kept 4 RBs on the roster and dressed 3 for games. NYJ and SF kept 5 RBs and dressed 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how often RBs get banged up... having three guys with starter level skills is an asset, imo. Edit: From a financial standpoint, it still makes sense to cut FredEx, but I'd really rather keep him. Edited March 9, 2015 by Dorkington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. But you can not jump to wild conclusions based on absolutely nothing either. That's something to consider, Bills kept 4 RBs on the roster and dressed 3 for games. NYJ and SF kept 5 RBs and dressed 4. Both of those teams use a FB and we didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChan Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Sounds like Whaley thinks that Brown can be great. Only problem is that he hasn't proved it on the field, and has better players on the team. If that's the dilemma, I don't know how I feel about Whaley. It seems like, "these are my guys," stupidity. No. But you can not jump to wild conclusions based on absolutely nothing either. Both of those teams use a FB and we didn't. I wouldn't call that jumping to a wild conclusion. But it was a possibility, and how it struck me.

GG Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Depends on you special teams balance I assume. Yup, and now I'm also wondering if resigning Gay was related to them keeping Fred, as it probably removes the need for one more ST player in coverage?
