....and the fact that he was signed to a 3 year deal.  

 

 

2nd year is only 1.5 guaranteed against cap and 3rd year is a total walk with no cap hit...so Beane's version of a 3 year deal always has escape clauses....... You can't get a water boy for that in today's NFL.

I LOVE that! I remember Brett Favre saying “it’s not MY job to teach him how to play.” I understand that to some degree, but I can also see how a high quality individual will do everything possible to make the team better. Want to make the playoffs? What if they get hurt and sit for 3 games? This tells you something about the, ummmm.....character stuff we hear about.  

i might suggest , conceptually the statement embodies what the pronoun "Team" actually means.

whether a bit fluff or not.

 Lee Smith was a team first guy last go around.
 he put it out there on the field for sure. Sounds like he has grown into a right minded Veteran player since then ? 

 

 Glad to have  him back, and bit more so with some well chosen words

That defines his career to this point.

not sure what you are looking for here.

it was a comment about his attitude from him.
 And was fairly Noble actually.
 we all need a little Lee Smith

and a  good fit in MCBeanes Bills

I'd be fine with it if the VCR can teach it to block movies.

actually blocking is pretty Old school. TE back in the day besides Mackey lol were always blockers first.

teach vcr Teach !

Yes he can.  Which is why getting pointers from one of the best blocking TE's is a good idea.  And again it doesn't preclude Sweeney from developing as a pass catcher.

What if he is? 

 

He would be the most expensive position coach in history

I’m on record saying Sweeney will be the real rookie TE value

Absolutely. I really like everything I've seen from Sweeney. A late round TE who ends up a bonafide threat would be nothing new. I hated the Smith signing and still do, but it is what it is.

I respect anyone who takes this approach. Obviously this guy is solid in the locker room. I was surprised when they brought him back, but it does make some sense considering they drafted 2 TE's. If he can rub off on Knox and Sweeney, it was worth it.

Um...he'll also be playing.

 

4.4 million guaranteed to block a few snaps a game.

What if Lee Smith (the one on the Bills, who doesn't spell his name with quotation marks) is?

 

I was referring to the one who refers to himself in the third person.
