BADOLBILZ Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 My initial plan of offering him 2 years and $4.5M fully gtd doesn't look so bad right now. Yeah that seemed very reasonable. Either way.....can they really let a 3rd very effective player go to the Pats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Follow them yes. Defend every move they make like PTR and blame the fans for any failures? Nope. What fun would that be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jokeman Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Too much for a backup RB Considering we're paying Tyrod one of the lowest salaries for a starting QB we can afford to over pay our backup RB. Match it Whaley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjv001 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Good for Gillislee. With the average employment span of an NFL running back under 4 years in the league, I'm glad to see him cash in. Now let's see if the Bills think he's worth paying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 What the f### are you talking about?? The scenario you describe is a given. Do you think they though no one would sign Gillislee? This late in the game? Hell yeah I do. Like I said then.......that's how you work a fool. If you want it that bad come out with a higher than expected bid very early...........but if you want to get it at the lowest price......let them start to assign their "optimistic value" as the "actual value" and then take it from them.

BillsfanAZ Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 You'd think Whaley would've learned his lesson with Hogan, but Whaley seems to be a thick-headed amateur with a professional death wish. I dont see what is so thick headed about this. I am sure the Bills offered MG a multi year deal and he wanted to see what he was worth on the market. If you tender him at a 2nd round you are locked into paying him 2.8 mil a season because nobody is going to give up a 2nd for him. If you tender him at originial round then you pay him 1.8 mil a season unless someone signs him to an offer sheet. Then you either match it or say good luck.

Jamie Muellers Ghost Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Joel Cory of CBS just said on the Murphy Show there is a real problem with the Bills here as this generally does not happen to other teams. They could of put 2nd round tender for about $1M more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Yeah that seemed very reasonable. Either way.....can they really let a 3rd very effective player go to the Pats? I think he'd have taken it...but then again, it was my idea, so that's obvious Not sure, but if I were brought on as GM today I would probably match it. For a team that's going to rely on the run as much as they are, they need a proven 2nd option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Boo Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Meh. I don't trip off of 2nd string RBs. We can find another in the draft for much less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogan was not going to take the Bills anywhere last season, Gillislee is not taking the Bills anywhere this season... These are not players we need to worry about IMO.

dbflaBill Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Horrible management of the cap. 2nd round tender protects him and if he gets an offer they get a 2nd. Now itll cost twice as much to keep him, but the fifth isnt worth losing him. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 He wasn't worth close to 3 million which is what it would have cost for a 2nd round tender. Why give him something he isn't worth? He isn't? That's backup RB money right there. Theo Riddick, Bilal Powell, Rex Burkhead, Danny Woodhead--all of them are getting more than the 2nd round tender.

par73 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 McCoy is 29 (in July) and has had hamstring issues the last couple years. The Bills need a backup who can come in and start if/when he goes down. Small sample size, but I don't see J. Williams as that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDBoston Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Jeff Howe @jeffphowe The Bills haven't informed Gillislee of their final decision yet, but the first indication is they don't believe they'll match, per source. 2:10 PM - 18 Apr 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
