Said it wasnt about money, and in the end it was about money. Nobody should be surprised it ended this way, and I'll be happy watching him collect $17 million a year for a team thats not going to sniff the Lombardi. how do you know he didn't take less to sign with Raiders? You don't know what he was offered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youth and potential is what I hope we get in free agency. But that’s just my opinion. My words exactly! Didn't want him anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird that he says it's not about the money, and he clearly takes the money. Can't blame players wanting Vegas, no state income tax, warm year round, cheap housing, brand new everything, quick flight to LA, and so much money to be made with advertising for casinos. Disappointed cuz I thought he truly just wanted to play for a ring when clearly that was false. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not one to want a splashy signing for it’s own sake, but I think McBeane’s gotta read the room a little here. Replacing our JAG’s with other JAG’s is gonna leave the large majority of the fanbase uninspired. Read what room? This message board?!? They better not. You know the old saying. "Once you start listening to the fans, you'll be sitting with them". For as disappointed as I am with the news today as a fan, they better not make any moves just to make me(us) "happy". 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pick Chiefs and Chargers as the playoff teams. The other teams have new HC's in a really tough division. Chiefs schedule is the worst by far though.

blacklabel Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Never ever trust any player when they claim it's not about money and they "just wanna win." Every time I've seen that type of situation, the player always goes to the highest bidder. And Beane absolutely refuses to get into any sort of bidding wars. I'm sure he's out there making the calls and telling agents what type of offer they have. Something like (and this is hypothetical) "Yeah we can go 3 years for $30 million overall" and the agent says "Well, Vegas says they'll give us 3 years at $38 million, you wanna match? My guy says he wants to play there..." And Beane says, "Welp have fun with the other team. Bye. *click*" They just do not have the assets to chase any of these big names. They're so tight against the cap that no matter their offer, there's at least a dozen or more teams out there that can easily outbid them. Ah well. Keep on truckin'.

You might only get 1 or 2. Guaranteed money is usually a big factor too. I could shatter my knee and never play again - what's the minimum i'll get if that happens? Why should i take a team discount to possibly suffer serious life changing injuries when the league and team don't have my best interests at heart? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 AJ Klein led the Bills in sacks last season. No more JAGS at DE. We need a pass rushing beast if we want to win the SB. Josh can't play defense.
