Punching Bag Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Seriously. The good posters should not be engaging the troll. Let me do it. I thought Jauronimo was the troll, I am confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 @AlbertBreer So for Taylor, as a practical matter, this is a 1-year, $9.5M deal or a 3-year, $50M deal. Bills control from '19-'21 at a total of $42M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 @AlbertBreer Tyrod Taylor's deal is $92M over 6; $90M over 5 in new cash. $37M in injury guarantees. If option is picked up, $40.25M is fully guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike in Horseheads Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 If Taylor flames out, the Bills wasted money they didn't have to this year. If he ascends, they have him at below market for next 5 years. There are no guarantees in any business transaction for a contract at anytime. You try to mitigate your risks on both sides before you sign and It looks like they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) @albertbreer More on Taylor's deal: Bump to $9.5M for '16; $15.5M option bonus due next March, with a $12M base for '17, $13M for '18. $50M over first 3. Interesting. That 2017 number eats about $25m of the estimated $32m cap space (based on the cap going up about $10-11m or so again). So if they were able to get Gilmore at around the tag price they'd need to make a few cuts. I think it pretty much confirms Kyle Williams will not be a Bill in 2017 unless he is willing to play for a pittance. EDIT: I would like not the spread the hit across the length of Tyrod's deal if possible. I'd only do that if he absolutely lights it up in 2016 because if he just takes a small step I want to maintain the future flexibility.

The Wiz Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Who else are they trying to sign this year?Working on that Sanborn blockbuster contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 It's really simple if he doesn't perform the team buys him out, if he's great, the team will tear up the deal and make it better for him! The experts think the team got a great deal and TT lost. Don't we all wish we could lose so badly! Why does there have to be a loser? Isn't it possible that both sides got what they want?

Beerball Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Please do us all a favor and go jump off the falls. Being a Bills fan is tough enough. We don't need miserable "fans" like you pissing in our corn flakes. As a reminder to everyone...in my book tit for tat doesn't cut it. Responding to bad behavior just as badly isn't OK with me. Free pass this time, with the season basically here I'm reminding everyone how I act on the board. If you've got a problem then open a report as several people did today. Don't expect instantaneous action because we have jobs. I happened to stop by when I was waiting for an appointment and lo & behold we have us a real donneybrook on our hands & whoa nellie it's been taken care of. On game days we're generally here unless we're there, but, be patient and remember never feed the trolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Who else are they trying to sign this year? with rollover and such the term "this year" is a bit loose. if he flames its a little bit of wasted cap that couldve gone elsewhere. thats true, but its not really worrisome.

Beerball Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 So disagreeing with another's opinion is now "trolling"? I'm not looking for validation, and what's the point of a message board if we're all fanboys like good Kirby here? Man up, let's have a discussion. Agree or disagree, I like to see both sides' points. Leave your fanboy comments at the curb. Act like and adult and you'll be fine. Act like an ass and you won't; either way everybody wins. and if you're going to tell people to man up I'd recommend losing the cartoon name.

Why did you pick Kyle Williams? how about A Williams or Corey Graham? Thats just crazy talk saying Kyle will be the chess piece moved off the table. Crazy talk, I say to you Bill !!
