Best Player Available Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 No matter if he's a priority or not, you set a max number you're willing to give each player. It's basic budgeting really. Certain things in my life are a priority, but I'm not going to overspend on them. Well then they must have forgot how a calculator works when they traded then extended the crazy McCoy deal. Doubtful they budgeted that kind of money for a back. No matter how good he has been. And His undying love for the Eagle at mid field in Philly.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Personally I'd bag all this nonsense and go for the kiss! And hopefully end it with Kim saying Terry who?? I have no insider information...just an intuition that Richie re-signs tomorrow. 3 year deal -- with about $6 million in his pocket and total value $13.5 million...base salaries -- $2 million, $2 million, $3.5 million...cap hit is $4 million in 2016. 10th highest paid guard is $5.2 million per (according to Tyler Dunne's TBN article)...this is an age discount. Wood extends to get the Bills about $3 million in room. Wednesday, Gilmore signs a deal that nets the Bills about $5 million in space in 2016 - 5 years $52.5 million; By the end of the month, Glenn signs a deal that is 5 years, $58 million and nets Bills another $5 million in space. The Bills go from there...bringing in 3 ex-Jets for the D... Jim Overdorf gets a raise and a kiss on the cheek from Kim...he blushes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillnutinHouston Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I had an employer to that to me. Once I found an offer and went through that grind, I wouldn't consider them No offense but the "grind" you went through probably didn't involve Tempo or being put up at the nicest hotel in town. I don't think NFL players view shopping themselves around quite the same way you or I would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else notice that the running game was still pretty good even with Shady on the sidelines? This FO saw first hand what a top OG can do for not only the pass / run game, but in making the two players along side of him better players. Unless it's a ridiculous amount, pay the guy. Then sign Jahri Evans to play RG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarleyNY Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Rumors that Osemele is going to get 10m+/yr and Boone is going to get 8m+ don't bode well I think a case can be made for Osemele getting paid large, but $8M for Boone? I think we're seeing agents trying to drive up prices during the legal tampering period. Things always get a little crazy around now. Let's see where things land. Of course, it only takes one team..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Linen Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I think the only thing we need to look at was the guard play the previous year. It was brutal. Chris Williams, Cyril Richardson and to a lesser degree Urbik. Richie really did wonders for the line. Continuity for the leagues top rush O would be nice. Not really. We need to decide if Cog is asking for ridiculous money and if there's another guard out there in FA with comparable skills for the money we're offering him. It's the prudent thing to do and appears that's what we are doing with Evans coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 The Ravens want Kelechi Osemele to be their left tackle. Baltimore is putting its money where its mouth is, offering Osemele a deal that would, according to multiple reports, make Osemele the second-highest paid offensive player on the team behind quarterback Joe Flacco. http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/Ravens-Offer-Kelechi-Osemele-Aggressive-Deal/8b589dda-247a-4dec-b27b-75817071d887 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 That's good if the Ravens are planning on playing him at left tackle because then it sets the average for Glenn and doesn't give Incognito a reason to look for that amount to play guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) No offense but the "grind" you went through probably didn't involve Tempo or being put up at the nicest hotel in town. I don't think NFL players view shopping themselves around quite the same way you or I would. And some players appear to do job hunting just to be wined and dined then return to their team. I did that once, was flown to Florida, put up in hotel, had expense voucher and car and never intended on taking job. Never even applied for it but they called me cold from some database.

The two sides have an agreement in principle. Osemele's market was incredibly hot. When the deal is announced, it'll blow the top off of the OG market. Huge get for the #Raiders. @spotrac Calculated value of $9.7M, but the Raiders likely went north of $10M to get their guy early.

YoloinOhio Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 @jasonlacanfora No doubt Kalechi Osemele was going to be a top free agent prize. Structure of inj guar will be interesting however. He's had back issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 @rapsheet #Raiders deal for G Kelechi Osemele will make him one of the 5 highest paid OL including tackles in NFL. More than $11M per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I would never pay a guard that kind of money. I just don't see the bang for the buck. If I told you you could have the best guard in NFL history (I wouldn't know who to name but stay with me) for $10 million it still seems like even that guy can only have so much impact on your offense given his position.
