BringBackFergy Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 at the time we drafted Watkins OBJ reminded me of Roscoe Parrish Sometimes....you just get it wrong Getting it wrong is ok...getting it wrong and giving up a coveted first round pick the next year is altogether clueless.

PromoTheRobot Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 How would they feel? Happy, I hope. What he cost you draft day is immaterial at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPS Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) Sammy is the guy who said they need more structure and discipline when Rex leftthe structure bar was set pretty low under the Ryan clowns. Edited May 8, 2017 by TPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanfan Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 the structure bar was set pretty low under the Ryan clowns. And Sammy wanted it higher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cba fan Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 No way could they excercise the 5 tth year option as it was guarenteed for injury. (why that would be the case I do not know) Too big of a risk. If he fails physical Mar of 2018 Bills on hook for all of the 15 mill or so for 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7975 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 It should make them feel like they have to open up the checkbook to sign him to another contract. That should be something you hope for when you trade up like the Bills did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 If he does, he will be offered a big extension with us. And we'll just never, ever know what would have happened if we had taken the 5th year. Maybe the bad injury trend just passed, maybe he was extra motivated by a contract year, we will never know. I just hope it happens! It's done, so I won't waste energy lamenting or complaining. (Though personally I would have taken the option.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Management will regret not picking up his 5th year option, but we'll all be excited. Franchise tag him or sign him to long term deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdand12 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) Granted - that's if he remains healthy - but if he does have a great 2017 season, how will the front office feel and how should us the fanbase think afterwards ?? I personally thought it over and would not know how to feel cause the kid has pulled through for us when we most needed his efforts (hurt and all) pay the kid is my first response.But not my final one. I ascribe this to what I call the Flacco plan. I'd rather overpay more after they do something than overpay somewhat less out of fear that they might. zen perspective. very balanced. and i agree. I really Want to pay him the money he earned. be careful though. he plays elite? he gets paid elite You wouldn't know how you would feel if Watkins has a great season? Lotta money might be invested into him on a long term contract. if i stew on it, i have mixed emoticons I would imagine they'll back a Brink's truck up to his locker and then how do we afford the Franchise QB we so dearly desire. just kiddin. mostly... I know the answer actually we draft him next year using Bills two firsts I don't typically worry about the possibility of a Bills player doing great. because it is so unusual, it IS a great topic. it might happen !
