Either way, I'm usually not on here much, but with all of our picks and with a management and coaching inplace that knows what they are doing, the next few months should be much fun! I have to tell you I haven't been this excited in years! After following this team since 1963 I'm ready for some competence, change, a real QB. I guess I bought into the process. McBeane seems like they have a clue. I haven't been this excited for the draft in many, many years. 3 minutes ago, 1ManRaid said: Jeeze, I've been called a dick on a number of occasions for my attitude, and even I think you're being a bit too much of a dick.

Just had to power cycle my modem for the second time today on a brand new modem. That said, no actual signs of tampering yet, nothing to see here lol.

Well you can sleep well with the thought that we have saved 6 million in cash, 10 million in cap, picked up another third round pick and we're going to move up for a QB. That should make for a restful night! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple haze Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 5 hours ago, apuszczalowski said: Because they league has not opened the legal tampering period yet, it would technically be tampering at this point if they have a deal worked out already. Doesn't matter if "it has been done for years" The thing is information in the public sphere is simply hearsay, and if the hearsay is borne out, there is no proof that tampering occurred before the "legally" sanctioned period. A team would have to be over the top sloppy to get slapped by the league. Teams/agents know how to walk the line and handle business without putting the league in a position to have to do something. Teams want to keep their picks and agents want to keep money in their clients pockets. It's no big deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 $8-$9m a year sounds about right. Even though we only got one year out of him, he was a key contributor and without him we most likely wouldn't have made the playoffs. Hopefully Vontae can step in and be as effective Gaines was for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another nice job by Beane. If Beane keeps this up, he needs to learn this walk.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbuff Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 There are all kinds of free agent deals that are already done. One of them is LB Christian Jones of the Bears signing with Buffalo. But who really knows who, what, where. It's just that agents already have deals in place with some of their clients. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still need one more on the outside and even with all the re-signings they've made, they have the space to pretty easily afford Gaines if they want him.

Virgil Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I hope this means Gaines isn’t seeing the market he thought he would. If he’s under 8 mil, lock him up.
