formerlyofCtown Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) It was time, his remaining years at a high level were waisted with Tyrod at QB. I hope it is that he is disgusted with how things turned out here. Hope he does well elsewhere.

That’s really got to set him off. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stank_Nasty Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) The most impact he ever made for the bills was the drop this year in Miami saving us 8 draft slots. Adios, bruh. Edited February 15, 2019 by Stank_Nasty 7 3 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddyjj Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 As predicted in most corners. Glad they let him go prior to FA signing period as increases odds for him to possibly catch on with another team.

Chandler#81 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Not shocking, but I readily say I’m surprised. I believe more and more in McBeane. Note to Pre McBeane guys: Don’t buy a house. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptide Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 This was never really a good signing. He was never that productive. Had some good games, but nowhere near what he was being paid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, if he goes somewhere else and has some miraculous cure, I’ll be kinda ticked. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam727 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 As some others have already said the writing was on the wall with this one. I'm still in the minority disappointed by this move though. This was the first year that Clay was going to be worth his contract. Even if 2018 wasn't his best year, it's hard to argue the Bills will be able to find someone better in FA for less than $4.5mil/year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PIZ Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) Maybe some extra money to get Jordan Phillips signed before FA? So they can save their $ for the OL and WR. Edited February 15, 2019 by PIZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 He's a good guy who never played up to his contract, for whatever reason. What it boils down to is that Whaley didn't seem to have a good grasp of where to spend the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're eating 4.5 - but he already has that 4.5. We're saving 4.5 in cash to get rid of him. Not saying the Pegulas are in the poor house, but i wouldn't want to sign a bunch of game checks for millions of dollars to a straight up bum.
