Again, I know this is obvious but it is significant. Following the season, our number one priority is to sign Kelvin Benjamin to a long term contract. I quote you, “it is essential we get this deal done”. We don’t want to pick up Fifth year option or have to franchise him. We need his signature on a long term deal to be able to implement our long term plan. Again, I know this is obvious but I find it interesting how important getting him signed ASAP Hey DD the Panthers picked up Benjamin's 5th year option... He is under contract with the Bills through 2018 already , we don't have to Franchise him. we can sign him long term but he's here for 2018 already 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadwick Bay Chad Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) I know. Long term. He is signed until 2018. I think it calls for 8.5 million. We don’t want to have to worry about franchising him after next year. We consider him a number one receiver and want to lock him down now so we can build around. One less worry.

He is not in our group. I do know former bills have bought land to build new restaurant ....so how does your group build a stadium complex without an iron clad lease deal in place before putting a shovel in the ground?......

This is something that doesn't warrant immediate attention. They can handle this, if they feel the need, at ANY point in the offseason.

If we sign him to a long term contract the fifth year away goes away, replaced with a signing bonus that will lower the cap space for next year. We want to lower the 8.5 million dollar hit. That’s what I meant about not wanting to pick up,the fifth year option. It would go away. We want more space to sign free agents. Did not explain it in the detail required I thought you would understand how that works and the benefits of taking the signing bonus over the length of the contract Edited December 29, 2017 by Dunkirk Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another clump that doesn't seem wet enough to stick to the wall. If they can work out a longer term deal they can lower his 2018 cap hit I think. Right now it's like $8.5M.

Did not explain it in the detail required I thought you would understand how that works and the benefits of taking the signing bonus over the length of the contract Well i do know how it works and I explained it thoroughly. you are just vague of course the Bills can re work his deal... but beane explicitly said the panthers picking up the 5th year option WAS A KEY REASON they made the trade beane says and I quote " we probably don't make the move if he's not under contract for next year" Edited December 29, 2017 by Buffalo716 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
