Bray Wyatt Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 If they sign him, we get a 5th rounder and less likely for them to sign AP. That said I think we have the room to match, but I am not upset either way really as we can use more picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) They will probably match it because they've been working on an extension anyway. They have the cap room. I think I'd rather take the draft pick though and sign a different RB like Blount. Edited April 18, 2017 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when that clown GM stumbles onto talent, he lacks a coherent strategy for retaining or valuing it. But you go ahead and follow your pied piper franchise.

BADOLBILZ Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 we will match They certainly should. And when they do......there goes the savings/cap maneuvering they gained being thrifty with Groy. There is a reason the Bills look like a clown show.......not tendering those two higher was unnecessary risk for potentially paltry savings.

I think Blount would be a perfect compliment to Shady tbh but we do have Tolbert to be a big bruising back but he is a "Fb" I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 @mikerodak Bills have $10.8M in cap space, which considers Gillislees $1.797M tender. Matching deal would lower space by ~$2M, per @RapSheet details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Did the Bills think that or did you? That was my take on how I'd approach an MG offer sheet if I wanted to get him away from the Bills. Timing is everything. Do you suppose that the Pats first thought about MG the other day? They could wait Blount out and get him for that or less or just draft a back. MG is simply the better player. He was a target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan4 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 This is becoming a trend - Hogan, Gilmore, Gillislee... I guess we should take it as a compliment that Belichick thinks so highly of Bills players? friggin dick head. This is starting to get aggravating though. I feel like Belichick is almost trolling us at this point... Maybe he's still pissed off about Rex Ryan talking all that smack? Or Bills fans taking out that billboard mocking Brady? Or shutting them out last year? lol j/k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodman19 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Take the pick. 26 year old RB isn't needed in a likely non competitive year when we already have depth at the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ittakestime Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Bills would be stupid to match. Back up RB are a dime a dozen. Let's be honest here, there was a significant drop off when Gilly had to be the starter. The reason why he was so effective was because McCoy did the real damage. I am fine with Jonathon Williams being the back up, and bringing in another RB off the street to compete. Our o line is good enough to plug most any back up RB in there. BB doesn't want Gilly, he just wants to screw the Bills. Don't fall for his nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
