Bills signed Eric Wood to two year extension

[John from Riverside]

I like the move two depending on how much it is

[Wayne Arnold]

Love this move

 

[Pbomb]

So should we start to try groy out at rg then

[JimKellyTryouts]

I always like it when a player can play his full career with one team; he and Kyle have dealt with the same number of ridiculous coaching and management changes over the years, unfortunately.

 

Let's wait and see what the cost is, and if not by this year, next year we'll have to figure out what will happen with Incognito, Groy, and the mystery at RG.

Thing is, Kyle Williams has been great his entire career. Wood has been mediocre at best.

I thought the Bills weren't going to sign injury prone players.

[Helpmenow]

Bad santa three!!!

[YoloinOhio]

Nice!

Beane on Eric Wood's extension: "We think he's still playing well, a leader up front. He's part of what we're building going forward."

at his age two years is perfect. I think that puts richie and him at 3 years left. buys them time to address other needs. I am not sure how Groy isn't given a chance at right guard.

So a two year 16M extension

For #Bills C Eric Wood, he got a $6.5M signing bonus and a $1.75M roster bonus due in 5 days, source said. $14.2M in total guarantees.

 

 

 

Lot of Money for Wood IMO. Specially after Groy new contract. Only like it if you move Groy to OG

This is entirely inkeeping with what Beane and McDermott have been part of in Carolina.... they value and pay their center.

[Big C]

Does that not seem crazy high?

Yeah, I wasn't comparing their on field production as much as their tenure with us and being those "lunchpail" fan favorites.

 

But with that being said, Wood's worst years were with Marrone and the horrid guards around him, with a guy like Richie (or even Levitre) he's been much better - no coincidence

Why would McDermott have anything whatsoever to do with what the Panthers did with or especially paid their center?

[OldTimeAFLGuy]

Well, that was completely unexpected.

...spread the cap hit and foresee him as a backup in 2018+ is the only sense here.....

[MAJBobby]

Beane would have a bit to do with it seeing he was their cap guy

[GunnerBill]

Why would McDermott have anything whatsoever to do with what the Panthers did with or especially paid their center?

He wouldn't. But he has talked about how he and Beane spent many hours talking about team building philosophy. This is what they were around in Carolina. So far they have stayed pretty close to that model.

This wasn't a restructure. It was a full two year extension. It will be for starter money both years

[MAJBobby]

Likey really is a two year 14.2M deal (guaranteed) and the third year is a throwaway. But that is a hefty contract for a guy at the end of his career when no dropoff is seen with Groy playing
