ColoradoBills Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 10 minutes ago, Cornette's Commentary said: This. I am BEGGING someone to put this thread out of its misery. The reason why the Packers are the betting favorites, is because they have this guy throwing the ball named Aaron Rodgers. So, given that they have Aaron Rodgers throwing the ball, the Packers can AFFORD to give up multiple years of 1sts and 2nds and roster players for Mack. Do the Bills have Aaron Rodgers throwing the ball? Absolutely not. Therefore, Beane is NOT going to give away valuable future picks, just so that you people can wear red, white and blue jerseys with the #52 on Sundays. Aaron Rodgers contract is up at the end of next year. He is in negotiations to be the highest paid player in the NFL north of 31 million a year. With Mack's contract that's over 50 million for 2 guys. Never say never. Oh geez, I said never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering his tax burden will be reduced, it won't be quite as big a deal. He would've lost at least 40% of that to tax anyway. The players Union should push for NHL style contacts and then this whole thing goes away. No more holdouts everyone guaranteed. Yeah sure and then you lose a player for "injury" like Plantars Fakeitis and then need to find money to pay for replacement. It does not work with 53 man+ rosters.

I thought he just didn't get any service time toward unrestricted FA so was still obligated........but then I saw this on the bottom line on ESPN. So could be wrong. He will do what a Bills player do - report week 10 and collect his service "year". Whomever agreed to that was an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people think the Bills will have a top 5 pick next year. The Packers picks will both be in the 20s, maybe 30s. If we want Mack we can get him. I'm not sure that's the kind of move Beane would make though. Many STUPID people thought Bills were tanking last year; likely same STUPID people.

IF Josh Allen is a hit, the Bills will be entering their Goldilocks zone for SB contention very soon. Could see that being a draw for a guy that already loves the city of Buffalo. How are people so sure he LOVES Buffalo. Have not seen it. I saw him use influence to get brother a position on team. 2 hours ago, Cornette's Commentary said: This.

Sure, he cares about UB, the only D1 program that gave him a full ride (and now gave one to his little brother,) but football fans in WNY didn't even know about him or bothered to come out to see him play here!

Kinda crazy if true Not for Gruden. He’s a toad. Players generally learn to hate him, and it won’t take the full decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donbb Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 A friend of mine tutored Mack in college and still keeps in touch with him. He was in Buffalo recently to visit his brother and work out with the UB football team. According to my friend, Mack does not want to be traded and his agent has not had trade talks with any suitor.

Don’t ruin our silly narrative! He’s in Buffalo. He loves Buffalo. He’s willing to take a discount to play in Buffalo. And Gruden will trade him for a fifth (our lucky number!) to avoid paying him. Regardless of how this turns out, he’s going to be one seriously rich guy! Probably in Oakland, but the Gruden snub and cap fit feel funny to me. Strange how there is so little happening on the surface, but these things tend to happen in a hurry when approaching the deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying I'm wrong about the level of interest in Mack while he played at UB? Maybe you can cite some examples. Wasn't Bucky Gleason beating the drum for UB to drop to FCS even after having a player of Mack's caliber? I'm the resident UB booster on TBD. (Among several now. ) I know what the interest level was. It wasn't that high. Edited August 15, 2018 by PromoTheRobot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klos63 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 14 hours ago, jahbonas said: This would give Gruden a veteran pass rusher to cushion the loss of Mack. Also in Mcdermott/Beane's 5 year plan an older Hughes would be ok to move - similar could be said re Shady if that was needed in such a deal. Both are older vets not likely to be around for years 4 & 5 of the Plan - both carry significant cap. I might prefer a Hughes + Shady + 3rd for Khalil Mack Of course you would, you're a Bills fan. Raiders would hang up the phone and never answer a call from Beane again with that offer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making it known that if he's traded to GB that he will not sign a long term deal, so GB would have the same problem the Raiders have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
