Rochesterfan Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 it does matter that he was a udfa. It plays into his total value. He wasn't good enough to be drafted. He's only started 6 games and it was due to injury. He's not a proven starter. He's a backup who wasn't good enough to be drafted, until proven otherwise. Slap a 2nd round tender on him and that all changes. And he's a FA again next year and we are stuck negotiating at a level that doesn't match his value. Makes no sense. What you're describing only comes into play with a guy like Malcom Butler, a udfa who elevated to a full time starter for 2 years at a very high level. Pats are using a 1st round tender because that's his value now. They know his negotiations won't be anything less. Not the same situation here. Exactly - nice to see some logic. People want to just blast Whaley for these decisions, but once again in this case - much like TT - He played it right. The Bills have a choice of matching the offer at a lower cost than the 2nd round tender and get him locked up for 2 years or if they decide he does not fit their new scheme - they have a chance to move on. Placing a 2nd round tender meant overpaying him for 1 year and then still having to negotiate a longer term deal if you want to keep him. Same thing with Gillislee - there are so many RBs on the market and in the draft that placing a higher tender was probably a waste of money. Give Doug some credit - he seems to have a clue what he is doing here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Muellers Ghost Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 One day to go what is everybody feeling the front office is going to do on Groy? You would think if they were going to match they would have done it by now? Perhaps Whaley is trying to squeeze a draft choice out of the Rams ?
