KHAN Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 LOL we just cant win. Can't even sign a right tackle. How Billsy Estimated at north of $9M/year. At that price, the "Billsy" thing would have been to offer more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebandit27 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I feel like we dodged a bullet here. I think this will, in time, look like the Tyson Clabo situation from a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangarang Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 As much as I want an upgrade at RT I don't to pay a high price for it. I'd rather keep Kujo at LT and swing Glenn to the right side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah........the thought process is still a problem though. Could lead to them reaching over a good player on draft day or worse yet spending just a little less in FA for a much lesser player........like when the Bills wanted Eric Steinbach but couldn't get him so they paid 90 cents on his dollar for Derrick Dockery.

thebandit27 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 what are your thoughts on a guy like Riley Reiff About the same as Wagner...if he's coming here to play RT, he's going to cost too much money. I know I'm being bullish about my approach, but I can't condone spending serious money in the FA market on a position that most teams manage to fill with mid-round picks.

Exactly...now I suppose it's possible that they wanted to see if they could leverage his previous experience with Dennison/Castillo into a more economical deal, in which case I wouldn't be too upset, but I'm not ready to give them the benefit of the doubt on that.

thebandit27 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Don't you like those mid round picks for DB's and WR's this year? I like mid-round picks for anything every year. I know it's a long thread, but I've already discussed my draft/FA philosophy here. In short: fill needs in FA as fiscally-efficiently as you can without assuming you'll be able to fill them in the draft, then draft the best players at key positions without worrying about filling needs.

BuffAlone Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 @rapsheet The #Lions and OT Ricky Wagner have agreed in principle on a contract, source said. It will eclipse $9M per year, setting a new market. holy crap! If Buffalo was seriously considering that contract,or anywhere NEAR said contract,they better just get Mr.Bobby signed,and Scrape the leftovers for a RT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teef Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 just hear the 9 mill number on sirius. i don't even know what to say to that. i think i just need to finally come to terms with the idea that value for every position just seems to make a leap every year.
