NoSaint Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Incentive. Not guaranteed. The money wouldn't have been spent elsewhere, and may not be spent at all. What's so hard to grasp? The money never had to be offered to him at all though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmotionallyUnstable Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 1) he's a Whaley guy (whaaaaat but we all thought *insert narrative* 2) hes not a "character guy" (whaaat we all thought *insert narrative*) 3)he's "their guy" because he's a proven elite player. You really have no idea how they found him or why they are all in on him? 1 and 2 are givens. But thanks. 3) yes but again, the process of how they choose to spend their cap space puzzles me. Take into account, age and position value, I question their long term investment in certain positions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likei've Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) The money never had to be offered to him at all though...According to who, you? Why do you care? Obviously they have their reasons and maybe it's part of a bigger incentive plan they trying out? Either way it's not our money and doesn't affect us negatively at all. Man, Ralph's too cheap and what now Pegula's too giving? You can't win with this fanbase. Edited September 8, 2017 by likei've Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Nope. Just sick of grown men crying about nothing all of the time. Grow up. Of everyone in this thread I think you may be crying the loudest, and about the least significant thing. There's an amusing amount of irony.

Coach Tuesday Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 If I'm in the lockeroom..........I am going to the office tomorrow to get the forms to sign up for the new incentive program! Nothing made Jason Peters happier than seeing Derrick Dockery and Langston Walker getting paid........it showed a commitment to winning! Literally, they got one RB for the price of two. Unbelievable!

cba fan Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) Incentive. Not guaranteed. The money wouldn't have been spent elsewhere, and may not be spent at all. What's so hard to grasp? That is lost money now if Shady hits the incentives, money that Bills could have moved as unused cap space into next years cap. Beano is a rookie moron. Mind boggling move. Literally, they got one RB for the price of two. Unbelievable! It is called the one ship policy. EX: We have all heard everytime Navy or Air Froce builds a shiny new toy(ship/plane) it replaces and does the job of 20 or so other toys. Extrapolating that out: Very soon Navy will be 1 ship and Air Force will be 1 plane. As Army marketing used "Army of One" Bills use "It Starts With One" Soon Shady will be the "One" Edited September 8, 2017 by cba fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 We already made him one of the highest paid backs in the league when teams are lowering the amount paid to RBs we keep going in the other direction... Should have taken that 2.5 million and resigned TD Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beano is a rookie moron. Mind boggling move. Makes sense to me. You go to sell your flashy sports car you might spend a little extra cash to get it detailed and get a tune-up so you get the highest offer for it. Look how nice it looks, look how well it runs! Some might think thats cash out the window that you don't need to spend but you make it back when you sell it or at the very least you have a lot more people interested. I think McBeane wants to sell and they are making a small investment now to make sure they get max value later Edited September 8, 2017 by kdiggz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) They're basically saying: shady, we know we're wasting your last prime years while we trust the process. You won't be winning a super bowl here in Buffalo but you can put the icing on a hall of fame career and put up monster numbers. if that's not incentive enough for you to play your heart out and help put fans in the seats, here's another 2.5 million dollars to sweeten the pot. Classy move. Edited September 8, 2017 by NewEra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 And his production here? Get over that too I guess. Logical thing to do would've been to tender him a 2nd rounder so no one touches him. Bills don't do logical things. Maybe they just really wanted the pick. Seems like McDermott is all about them. Giving up the backup rb for a 5th might seem like a great trade for him. They gave him the 5th rd tender because they knew someone would bite and would rather have the pick than shadys backup, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logical thing to do would've been to tender him a 2nd rounder so no one touches him. Bills don't do logical things. They don't seem to value the back up RB position. Giving incentives to Shady or not would have made no difference in the Gillislee decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 But who's going to give a haul for a 30 year old back with another year of heavy use? Someone will if they are desperate for a premier RB and think they can get 2 more good years out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
