I don't think you give Richie an extension. He has one more year left on his deal and he will enter the 2018 season 35 years old. I think at best he only has one more good season left. Keep him on the last year of his deal and draft a guard in round 4 to work behind him for a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't agree more. Both grinders and leaders during some very tough seasons. I think 95 will be calling it also. Going to miss them both, just like when Fred left.

I think that InCog had a good year last season but was not as dominant as he was the previous two seasons. You have him for one more year let him play out that season and then if you feel like the player your draft behind him isn't ready or Richie has a really great year I think you could easily resign him for one more season. I think if you sign him to an extension you risk taking a cap penalty for 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDogg20 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I wish Eric nothing but the best and wish he could still play for us. He really showed a lot of heart coming back from so many injuries and showed he belonged as a Buffalo Bill. While this really sucks for Eric didn’t we just sign him to a new deal? When did this injury happen? Shouldn’t we have known about it before he was signed? And now to sound really selfish, how does this change our cap situation?

Yeah thats what it sounds like to me too but I wasn’t 100% sure. Seems like the Bills did know it was bound to happen at some point based off an article I read earlier.

Too many Bills articles in my history lol Nvm I misread. It says it was “wear and tear”. Still makes me wonder how it couldn’t have been noticed before now if the wear and tear was this bad Edited January 27, 2018 by CDogg20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
