Bronxbomber21 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 So is it a 5th in this draft or next year's draft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Maybe Gilislee wants a chance to start as opposed to backup here wants playoffs, chance at a ring, instant stardom in key games like the ex-Bill last year in the playoffs.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Doing it sooner or later doesn't matter. The Bills have the cap space to keep him (about $2MM this year.) You ever been at an auction and thought you had something after outbidding that one guy back and forth for a few minutes..........then it's going once, twice.......and some other bidder confidently puts a bid in? That always pisses off a fool and makes them re-think how much they want that item. That's the strategy here. Pats didn't want to overpay for MG so they waited for best time to make the decision emotional. If the Bills match, so be it. But they wanted MG and didn't want to overpay to get him and this close to the draft......this will have the Bills thinking a lot harder than they would have a month ago.

What the f### are you talking about?? The scenario you describe is a given. Do you think they though no one would sign Gillislee?

YoloinOhio Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) So is it a 5th in this draft or next year's draft?its this year. If they don't match they are trading their backup RB for a 5th rd pick Edited April 18, 2017 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 its this year. If they don't match they are trading their backup RB for a 5th rd pick And freeing up $1.79 in cap space this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bray Wyatt Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 wants playoffs, chance at a ring, instant stardom in key games like the ex-Bill last year in the playoffs.... Right now, he wants more money and stability at this point. I am not saying he doesn't want those other things, but right now they are lower on the priority list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 @corryjoel LeGarrette Blount can't be happy about Pats' offer sheet on Mike Gillislee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metzelaars_lives Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 That's right. 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. You don't follow the Bills? You've been posting on an all-Bills website for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwight in philly Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 this is just the Pats making fools of the Bills. and they(Bills) deserve it. no pro-active thinking.. very frustrating watching this play out again.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Nails Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Let him walk. Take the pick and the cap savings and let's move along. We turned a street free agent into a pick in 1.5 years. Not too bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 You don't follow the Bills? You've been posting on an all-Bills website for years. Follow them yes. Defend every move they make like PTR and blame the fans for any failures? Nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodman19 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) You are all nuts if you think the Pats are making moves to spite a team they can reliably count on a win against every year. Edited April 18, 2017 by Woodman19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyToughII Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Too much for a backup RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jokeman Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 If they've signed MG to an offer sheet then you can bet they wouldn't care what happens with Blount if it means the Bills wouldn't be matching. I'd love it if Whaley waits until the last possible day to match the offer and in the interim Blount signs somewhere like Tampa or Green Bay for less money than the Patriots offered him..

GETTOTHE50 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 the bills will sign him. remember how many full backs they signed? they are probably going to do tandems with mccoy/fb and td mike/fb. they will be running 80% of the time i bet.

Belichick will just go out in a pickup truck on a Tuesday and find some itinerant laborers standing around waiting for work, then train them to beat the Bills on Sunday.
