Maury Ballstein Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 This is the kind of crap I do not want to see handle your contract negotiations with class like Cordy Glenn did Stephon It's a business. He ultimately can do whatever the market allows him to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, classy would be conducting yourself in a professional manner. People (not necessarily you) need to understand that every dollar counts to these guys. Every extra million that they can squeeze out of a team extends the legacy of comfort that they can afford their family's future generations a bit further. To me, that matters.

Every extra million that they can squeeze out of a team extends the legacy of comfort that they can afford their family's future generations a bit further. To me, that matters. I disagree. It's all relative, yes. For example, if I love a job and they say will you take it for $40 K, $80 K or $120 K yes that's a big difference. But, at any of those annual pays if they say will you take $30, $70 or $110 I would take $10 k less. Accept if you can't afford to live off $30 K which makes sense. These athletes dont need to squeeze every penny if they are happy, like the situation or want to play out the whole contract. I don't buy the every penny counts. Maybe for some, but, not all. There is a difference between a want and a need. And, each person and NFL players have different goals, wants and needs.

There is a difference between a want and a need. And, each person and NFL players have different goals, wants and needs. I'm not saying that they shouldn't take less to stay someplace that they're happy; I'm only saying that I don't blame them for trying to maximize their value for the reasons I stated previously. who isn't conducting themselves in a professional manner? I don't find that any Bills player isn't conducting themselves properly. I was trying to say that taking less money does not equate to being classy IMO; behaving like a professional equates to classy as far as I see it. That wasn't intended to be a shot at you or anything; I was answering the question is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdand12 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I remember when you could get an elite corner for 15k! and an 8pack of Miller ponies for less than three bucks. get drunk throw up AND get hangover for 2.99. Those were the days EXACTLY. People need to chill. Maybe he was watching the Erin Andrews video. nice!! No, classy would be conducting yourself in a professional manner.

Billsmovinup Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Can't sign everyone. If he wants to be highest paid corner in the league let him go. He's very good but not irreplaceable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdand12 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) Funny because he's not "ELITE." I am not sure how much value rex places on him. Depends on the scheme i guess. But his comment of self worth comes off as kinda arrogant doesn't it ? Can't sign everyone. If he wants to be highest paid corner in the league let him go. He's very good but not irreplaceable. this is where the argument has to be made. Bills drafted him. Bills developed him. Even though he said was not really mentored, he was of course. And Bills dealt with his injuries and showed patience. So build through the draft. What does that exactly mean? replace players every 4 years when the become very very good at their game? i might guess it does to some degree. I mean i was really sweating and still am a bit the Glenn deal. Perfect example of my statements Edited March 9, 2016 by 3rdand12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Just a thought....with all this talk of DT's, DEs, QBs, OT's Do you think that the bills might take (gasp) a CORNER with the 19th pick? I step back and think about it - Darby was a really nice find.....I think he definately played better then Gilmore in 1st year comparisons between the two - Gilmore's gonna be expensive - McKelvin was released Hmmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
