I'm not a beane fan, but from.what I've heard he has done his job well. Tried to add an elite player at a good rate, it didnt work out. The only issue is how it leaked out. I don't think that's his fault. It's definitely rosenhaus and brown. And if it went down as bad as it might have with the way it was leaked, then teams are going to take that into consideration when entering negotiations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He paid out money to Antonio Brown on his word that, you know, he would actually fulfill his contract that he willingly signed. You believe the owners care about the players well being? They don’t guarantee the entire contract. Everbody knows those contracts are front loaded for a reason. These contracts rarely run the full term. And you can’t make an employee work no matter how much you have paid them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Schraeger through this out this morning...could have been to flip 1st rounders with Pitt...but he was clearly speculating and not sharing something he'd heard. That wouldn’t have been a bad flip. Only problem is the draft gets crazy. I’m sure someone will be available at 9 that no one expected to be there. Then the Bills are sitting at 20.

The Senator Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 22 minutes ago, Chuck Wagon said: His trade value was/is at a nadir. Beane wouldn't have overpaid for anything. We very likely would have gotten a hell of a value on a guy who is still top ~5 at his position. But if you want to think this is some positive, by all means drink your kool aide. And you enjoy yours as well! Why is his trade value at a nadir? It should have been at a zenith if he’s all you dream he is. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's extremly expensive here, I've traveld for years and Buffalo is one of the most expensive cities to fly into and out of. A beautiful home for $350K is going to cost you 10K a year in property taxes. over a 30 year mortgage, thats 300K Other places with better weather and better paying jobs and lower income tax will have that at maybe 3K per year that's $210K i am saving for other AREAS over 30 years. I guess buffalo is so good that it is continued to be ranked at the top for people leaving. ding ding ding. No body ever talks about the property taxes.

Oh, that’s why I think they should be guaranteed for injury. And teams should be allowed to cut a player, but be on the hook for the full contract if they do.

Paying 20 + million per year on a long term deal for a 31 year old WR who lost half a step last year would not have turned out well. 15 tds last year. We had 13 passing TDs.

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) So add a 4 time first team all-pro receiver who averages conservatively - 100/1300/10 and keeping a first round pick so you still get 5 years of control with the drafted player... I would've been thrilled if it worked. Edited March 8, 2019 by dneveu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are front loaded so then players get theirs knowing full well they could be cut/injured at any time. The owners need the players in order to actually have a product.

Haplo848 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I'm confused why this thread started 7 minutes ago, when the reports that this deal ISN'T HAPPENING, that Rapaport jumped the gun, have been around for hours now... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are most places really that much cheaper than paying $2500 per 100,000 of home value? I honesty don’t know. I just did a quick search and San Antonio, TX is on par with that level. But haven’t looked in any other major markets yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
