I’m sure the Bills are nickel and diming him and hoping he picks them anyway.... of course the offer is good, it’s down to them and the Jets. If they didn’t he’d have already signed with Jersey B

We should just call the agent and tell him what ever Jets are willing to pay will pay more , just to raise the price tag 

whom ever the Jets are going after just keep re-raising

Thats a long bridge. The guy's probably going to get a massive 4 year contract. He's not a 1 or 2 year rental. 

The draft is a crapshoot, who knows if a C will be available and BPA when our pick is up. I doubt it would be a bridge, and only said it because, Paradis is older than Morse. If we sign Morse, hard to see us drafting a C right away.

This... not much point in burning a high pick on a C this year if they sign Paradis..

Paradis is going to the Jets. Money will be close. Jets have the edge. 

 

 

 

Why?

Why?

Because his agent is a notorious Jets fanatic! His lifelong goal is to own the Jets. No way MP comes to Buffalo over the Jets.

Then he needs to change agents if his goal is to just stock his favorite team. His job is to represent his client not himself.

So the Jets already got a starting G and now a C , and we got Spencer

I've heard the guy on barstool a few times, I know what you mean. But he is still a businessman.  Its about the money and what his guy wants.  If the money is similar, it will probably be the Jets.  But if the Bills are offering enough extra, his fandom won't affect his client's decision.

My guess is that Matt Paradis went into today with all intention to sign with the Jets, but wasn’t 100% satisfied with their offer, so he’s going to consider others more than he intended to. Just a complete guess from the report that he’s waiting on last minute offers to possibly come in.

 

Still would be a true underdog story for anyone to sign him over the Jets though.

And I would say if McBean really wants him  then pay him

I do enjoy how someone always says "well so and so looks good in the draft" when we lose on a FA.  Maybe if we write letters to the other 31 franchises and explain the situation that FAs won't come here they'll feel sorry for us and give us extra picks to make sure we get a T / G / C / DE / DT / WR / TE.

Jets always seem to have good centers, even when the rest of the team sucks.

 

To be fair, their investment in Manigold and Ferguson did get them pretty far in the playoffs with Mark Sanchez. Of course, they had Revis and other players but it seemed like that focus on their O-line was useful at one point.

Getting either Matt Paradis or Mitch Morse are my #1 goals in Free Agency.

They are the only two centers that would be considered upgrades.

 

If we don't get either, center becomes a HUGE need in the draft.

We don't want to go into the draft with more huge needs.

 

I already think the wide receivers available in free agency are crap.  So that makes WR a HUGE need in the draft.
