His recent contract is more in line with his actual worth. Actually he is playing the last year of his 6 year contract this year. He's a FA next year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Beane can dump all Whaley’s trash, he can bring back the players that Whaley didn’t want. C’mon Andy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was wrong at the time........because they had plenty of money and had invested a second round pick in him and he was good. If your early picks pan out and you let them walk without a solid replacement you don't understand how to build. At the time, that is what the Bills were. We all know this now......let's not defend the dumb things they did in the past. It turned into a disaster when the season started and Colin Brown had perhaps the single worst season by a Bills starting OL. He was literally altering the outcome of games and very possibly the single difference between missing the playoffs versus stealing a very up-for-grabs playoff spot. And in the long run it was wrong because he's been very good for a long time and is still going strong. And fwiw.........future HOF'er Jason Peters is playing tonight as well.......and there were clowns on here who FOR YEARS swore trading him was the right thing to do. Part of that argument was the Bills were getting younger with the drafting of Eric Wood........but as I said in response to that......Peters will be playing when Wood was out of the league. Brown only played 4 games didn't he from memory? Then was cut and never played in the league again and Legursky started at LG the rest of the year. I still don't think Levitre was worth what he got at the time and actually asked to play more of a man blocking scheme in Tennessee he sucked.

Levitre was not a fit for the system & coming off a 2nd surgery in the off season. The Bills still wanted to keep him but NOT a $8M / year. He was labeled as underperforming with the Titan who in turn released him...the GM's job is to find the talent required for the HC style of play.

I'd want to see what scheme we are running first. If we are going to stay more of a zone block scheme I'd defintely bring him back for a couple of years. If they are more of a man blocking team this year then that isn't Levitre's game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but that's restructured when he went to the Falcons. Hes a $4-$5 mil/yr guard, always has been. But his front loaded contract with a big signing bonus was high at the time.

The reason ATL was paying him less was Titans ate a bunch of dead money when they traded him. But you are right, he is more of a 5 million player.

GM could have said "it is cheaper to keep him and not sign Tavares jackson". That's his job too. GM hires the HC (typically). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you - was gonna say - right thread wrong player. There are still folks here who are fine with letting a HOF left tackle walk because he tried to leverage a few million dollars more out of a cheap owner. But that’s another issue, Bills fans’ resentment of well-paid athletes of a certain ilk.., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
