Rob's House Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 If it were only about money he would have stayed with the Bills. I think he saw something getting big and thought he could jump onto it and launch himself into a post-football activist career, it didn't work, and as a result he's suddenly rediscovered his passion for the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr1 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I thought he'd be a good influence on the younger receivers but he's been a douche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 It probably doesn't. I have to make decisions all the time about projects and jobs. Usually, most everything has to be right about them or I won't consider it. I want to work and may like the money but I don't want to do something unless 5-6 different criterion are met. I think that is what he is doing. In addition, it's almost impossible for any of these guys in any sport to walk away when they are not absolutely forced to. I think guys second guess their retirements all the time thinking they could play one more year - or one more half year - and really help someone. They're of course, fooling themselves, but they believe it and it doesn't make them liars in my mind for trying to see if some team wants to give them that last chance. I want to be clear...by no means am I hating on him. I get what you’re saying, and I think what he is feeling. Hey, and if we could pick up even a 7th a year from now, it’s more than we had before.

He was named Walter Payton Man of the Year in 2015 for it. He expanded it into other areas recently and is still doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 The only place he would play if I was GM would be Buffalo They did make it as difficult as possible for him to move on. I guess. seems he is worth a conditional 7th Based on his presaeason he may be another guy who tries to hang on too long. and he sucked. ran about as fast as i could and seemed to have no interest in catching Tyrod's tosses. fu ab I thought he'd be a good influence on the younger receivers but he's been a douche #jadedturtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoPar_v2 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 That is what we don't know. I imagine that Beane and McD were pissed at him. I imagine some of the players were, too. That he gave up on them. Who knows. Players often think different than we do. More importantly, I think we need WR but I don't think we need him. Matthews and Jones are both possession players who should be playing out of the slot. We don't need a third guy who is much slower. We need big play guys that can play outside and open up the field and make the safeties not crowd up to stop Shady. We probably don't want him. Absolutely. All the strange stuff related to the signing/trade request aside, he looks shot at this point I cannot see him contributing in a meaningful way.

Billznut Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Id make him fight for social justice for a livingAgreed. F him. He can rot. Unless some team is dumb enough to give us a 3rd for him, which will never happen, dont help him out. He didnt want to help the Bills this year. Tough luck. Enjoy retirement. You wanted it. You got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaCrispy Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 IMO trade him for anything to anyone except the Pats* exactly...what have they got to lose? Get whatever you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turk71 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Do not trade him for less than a 5th and not to the Pats. Why would the Bills want to be nice or help this guy out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Having him on active roster would be against everything McD preaches - the team. He came and left under false pretenses. He could force Bills to release him by exercising their rights but Bills should not just let him walk onto another team for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted October 27, 2017 Author Share Posted October 27, 2017 Now he wants back, but not for us? What a long and annoying way to quit our team. Pretty evident that this was the case as suspected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Linen Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 IMO trade him for anything to anyone except the Pats* Why? He would seriously downgrade their fast attacking offense. I'd send him there with no hesitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Remember how we got a QB from Dallass? I think if Bills want to exercise right they have to let him play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
