But it is still not a contract and why I say someone needs to show some trust. I’d like to be able to control the structure of the contract to help the teams cap, and avoid having to use the tag two years in a row. I want a guy who’s happy to be here, not a guy whose happiness we have to buy on unfriendly terms. I’ll trust them to be smart and do what they think is best. That is why you offer picks that can be converted into higher values once a contract is finalized. A third that can be changed to a first once the contract is done as an example. If I were Bills GM any trade would hinge on conditional picks but also involve players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agents and GMs typical play fair because if not they get a bad reputation throughout the league and messes up other deals for different clients Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing in Clowney's history suggests that he would honor a handshake deal. He's about as money-centric as you can get. All a team needs to do is leak to his agent that they will pay him more and he is gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those guys can be nut jobs and change their minds. Who knows what might happen to change his mind? Until it’s signed, there is an element of risk.

The more this story fizzles into fake news the better off this organization is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unbillievable Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I would love this trade if the Bills were coming off an 11-5 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornette's Commentary Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 If this goes down, I can't wait to watch Clowney mail it in, and only get 4 or 5 sacks all year. Then, we can watch him walk at the end of the season, and sign with New England. GET IT DONE, BEANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So let me get this straight: you think that Clowney is going to purposely choose to sign his franchise tender so that he can get traded to Buffalo just to mail it in during his contract year? I don't even know how to process such a notion 1 minute ago, BillzFreak said: Do you even believe the things you say, I'm seriously thinking you don't Impossible.
