4merper4mer Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 AJ's spectacular comeback vs the Da Bears may have convinced them that Mack was a necessity and caused them to up their offer, leapfrogging the Bills.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 (edited) I highly doubt it. Mac got a big contract which I don’t believe the Bills have cap space jmo Mack is now the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history. The deal, which averages $23.5 million per season, includes $90 million in guaranteed money and $60 million at signing, the source said. The Bears gave up first-round picks in 2019 and 2020, a third-round pick in 2020 and a sixth-round pick in 2019 Edited September 2, 2018 by ShadyBillsFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can really trace this all back to TPEGS hiring GMTM and the subsequent trade for neck tatoo.Terry learned you never trade a 1st rounder, let alone 2..for any one person. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The situations are different with NHL and NFL trades. The Bills trades may not be perfect but I don't remember Kelvin Benjamin getting drunk and running over a Tim Horton's. I can't blame Beane for this and I'm not even saying the Bills should have offered as much as the Bears, especially considering the contract. But if the Bears thought about having a defense where they could be beaten by McCarron and where Foster could actually make a catch? That is not good. In the long run it might have helped us or hurt us. We'll see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 When the bills pluck a pass rusher out of this next years draft and we have that player in a rookie deal we will feel a lot better about not getting mack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoTom Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 The 4th preseason game consists of guys who will either be cut, traded, or barely make the team. The Bears didn't go for Mack because of that game. Here's why the Bears wanted an elite pass rusher: 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a nice looking draft for pass rushers John but ones like Mack are rare.........he's well above the level of a Mario Williams or Aaron Schobel so it's been forever since they had a front 7 player that good despite a couple decades worth of high picks.

Unless that player is as good or better than Mack, that’s a foolish thing to say. That’s like having a shot at Bruce Smith and passing on him because you think there’s a decent enough pass rusher next year, who doesn’t exist. Mack is legit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDermot should have put in Logan Thomas for Q4. Why would anyone invest that much money into a guy 27 , who is undersized and coming off a off year? They gave up (2) #1 picks and then signed him sick level money, he may have 2-3 good seasons left in him. We are not talking about Bruce Smith or Reggie White here Just makes Beane look like a fool only getting a second rounder for Sammy who was only 23 when traded. Should have been min 1st rounder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
