LyndonvilleBill Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I think Beane is playing chess when it comes to Stills. Couple years younger than Brown. Cap savings if needed. Maybe Brown isn't 100% but wants to have same type of player in his back pocket for the playoffs and getting a headstart for 2021 plan B type of thing.. Wish I could be a fly on the wall in Beanes office for the next couple of weeks.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sills was earning $410,000 a game which was guaranteed by the Texans - $6,975,000 this season, which is basically John Brown money. That's considerably above vet minimum for a 7+ year vet. Beane's idea could be "bring him in to compete at a low salary", Sills idea could be "give me a 3 year contract at John Brown money". To which, I kinda hope Beane has learnt the Kelvin Benjamin lesson - if a team is willing to let a fast vet walk because he's under-performing his contract by a lot, don't guarantee him much and load it with incentives. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Beasley isn't out yet....maybe they got good news on testing and that's why they haven't signed stills? Don't want to give Stills agent any negotiating power. Beasley is done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stills is a couple of years younger than Brown, true, but it's important to note that he was actually drafted in 2013, a year before Brown. So he has more "NFL seasons" on his body. On the other hand, he's been accustomed to be paid like Brown, while being traded or cut from 3 different teams. If Beane thinks Stills is a guy who will happily come in on a cheap contract and play hard for less, not so sure about that. 2 minutes ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: Don't want to give Stills agent any negotiating power.

This one motivated me to go look at the posting/warning history, not a good sign. Diagnosis: unlikely to stop on his/her own. Better to ignore. Before the Jets game, here are a couple of the gems this one posted. So much for predictive abilities. Week 7: Bills at Jets Buffalo_Stampede replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Prove me wrong. So far the offense has collapse as I predicted. People were too quick to crown them. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Week 7: Bills at Jets Buffalo_Stampede replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall I think the Bills are going to lose 12 straight games to end the season. Jets beat a broken Bills teams 27-21. 2 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think everything you've seen and heard about Beasley's injury looks promising? It means that previously, when you made a ridiculous statement and were challenged, instead of providing information to back up your viewpoint, you doubled down and said "prove me wrong". "Calling it as you see it" is worthless when it comes to statements like "Beasley is done" or "everything is pointing towards him having a signficiant injury". Even if it's just what you think, someone who is here for discussion (and not just to troll or crusade disruptively) can respond giving the reasons for why they see it and explaining what "everything" means, not try to shift the burden of proof to those who question your definitive statement 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a lot of discussion here last night, and an orthopedic surgeon and fellow fan even said he has no way of knowing just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
