billsfan89 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 1 year $1.5M deal That works for me CBF If Harvin wants anything more than a 1 year prove it deal for 1.5-2 million he can find another team. Getting Clay locked up and trying to secure a guard are much more pressing needs. Adding a often injured but possibly dynamic gadget player isn't something I would put significant money towards.

dave mcbride Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I agree with this take: Joe Chenelly @jchenelly 9m9 minutes ago ICYMI: Rex Ryan is building an offense from defensive coach's view, going for players who force the D to account for them every play. #Bills Except for the all-important QB position (I do realize that no one any good was available).

It's in My Blood Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 https://twitter.com/profootballtalk/status/576392480763064320 I think he signs today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Eddie Royal signed a 3 yr/$15 mil deal with Chicago. I'd have to believe Percy wants something at least $ 5 mil a year. Just get Percy, Clay and Spikes done. The FA pool for players of the impact they can have is drying up. Sign those 3 and start bargain basement shopping, we whiffed on the O-Line but have young players who might improve and can add another piece in the draft. He can want that but that doesnt mean he will get it CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 https://twitter.com/profootballtalk/status/576392480763064320 I think he signs today. If we signed Clay and Harvin today it would be huge!! I would then turn around and trade that 3rd to Chip for Mathis and we are rolling!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 No way we sign Percy for that much money per year. i think youd be surprised. i could see us doing a 1 yr 5-6 and contemplating a 2 year 10-12m offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 @JoeBuscaglia: According to @ProFootballTalk, WR Percy Harvin has visits he can take, but is contemplating whether or not he should even take them. #Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I think there is a strong possibility he feels a comfort level with Rex and the jets coaches. With a guy like that who has had previous issues with other teams, I anticipate that comfort level to be a significant factor in his decision.

If it doesn't work out you can wash your hands after year 2 with no penalty. If it does work out you have a dynamic player at $8M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Tom Brady may be enticing in NE, but he already has a SB ring. And tons of money. Though I have a feeling the Bills offer would be higher than NE's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesn't work out you can wash your hands after year 2 with no penalty. If it does work out you have a dynamic player at $8M.very similar concept to what im saying it sounds like. essentially just a team option tagged on the back that would pay him like an elite role player. really, i think you see him get in those top role player dollars still (11m was just stupid money for him - thats elite cornerstone player money) - just nothing past 1, maybe 2 years as a team commitment. The "prove it" or "incentives" a lot of the board is talking about being getting real money from a 2nd/3rd year, and next contract - not playing for free now. i also think thats the type of offer that might leave him thinking hard (your 3 year version) if hes only seeing the 1 year options at the next stops.

BrooklynBills Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 2 yr, 10 mil He does not have off field issues. One arrest, DUI in Sea, which was cleared. Forced his way out of Minnesota, because he wanted a raise, which based on his play, he was due. Didn't get along with some teammates in Sea, namely Golden Tate and Russell Wilson, who by all accounts appear to be a giant douchebags, moreso Tate than Wilson. Other teammates, like Lynch, had no problem with him. He has an aggressive personality, sure, but it's not like he's an off the field problem guy. Jerry Hughes got in arguments with coaches last year and was street racing with Dareus and we just gave him $40 mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give him a deal where we take all the risk in year 1 with upfront money, but where he has the ability to make fair value down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had major problems in high school, college and the nfl. They dont always have to be "off field" problems. The dude is one of the most talented athletes on the planet and if teams didn't think was an idiot he would've been the first player signed in FA.

Magox Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Yes I'd be shocked if he received that. I could be wrong. I'm guessing he is being offered a one year deal in the $5M a year range, 2 years tops with $6m per year guaranteed with performance bonuses that could reach up to $12M total. I would have to believe if you asked 10 random GM's what they believe his worth is (not could be) they'd say no more than $5M per year. Of course, all it takes is one team to value him higher.
