Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 3 minutes ago, BillsDiehard said: Pats are $4.9m under cap...how can they afford a $24m AB contract? That's the real reason AB won't play...the Pats likely got some contract reno's and manipulation to do. But the contract is rumored to be "up to" $15M with a $9M bonus. So in theory....$5M could be performance bonuses cleverly structured to fit the league's "unlikely to be achieved" milestone but seen as achievable for AB, and they could put a phantom year on there to amortize his $9M signing bonus, now his cap hit is $5.5M and they have to come up with a measly $0.6M. Chump change. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 3 minutes ago, Doc said: LOL! You're as delusional as your hero. The fact is he lost $21M with his "crazy like a fox" move. Bell left money on the table, millions, as well....but he didn’t have but a small fraction of AB money in the bank. That was pretty dumb given the nature of the RB position. i guess any of us shlubs could never conceive of giving up millions but his bank account gives him that luxury. Plus you don’t know that he won’t ultimately make as much in NE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beause this was all staged... he went from a malignant cancer on one team, to a benign cancer on another. AB will not be a problem for the Patsies.

Franco_92 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 (edited) Whoever merged these goddamn threads made me completely lose my place where I was reading through them. Frustrating Brown being released and Brown signing with a different team are two distinct things that deserved their own threads Edited September 7, 2019 by arcane 9 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChicagoRic Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Gotta wonder what would happen if a white Steelers or Chargers player used a racial slur against Tomlin or Lynn. Or wiretapped? Jeez. There should a be a suspension coming down................but there won't be, because BIG NAME PLAYER to NFL's TEAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling the Patriots have finally crossed a line and everything is going to CRASH at some point this season, likely by way of Brady getting career'd. I have a feeling they might win another SB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow. I forgot about that! This kind of crap is pushing me more and more away from this league. This crap is literally ruining my love for the game, Bills or no Bills. Last year was the first year I didn't pay attention to the Super Bowl. I'll watch college games and I'm getting more into baseball this year. The hell with the NFL.

AB will not be a problem for the Patsies. Well unlike real cancer you can just ignore AB. Let him call you a cracker. Let him not show up if he doesn’t want to. No need to let the patriots have him for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
