JGMcD2 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 He’s having a hard time pulling punches when they ask question about McKissic and the Commanders. I’ve never seen him like that. It sounds like that relationship may be fractured. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGMcD2 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Just now, Solomon Grundy said: Does this PC mean he’s done wheeling and dealing? I don’t think so. There was a question about the cap and he said “we’re right up on it” which prompted a follow up of “do you need to make some additional moves to get that backup QB and fill some other holes you mentioned?” He said “no, I already have those cap numbers factored in. I’m just now sure what we officially have on the books publicly yet.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GETTOTHE50 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) so washington kept trying to negotiate after the agent said it was over? im guessing they reached out to mckissic directly behind the agents back and told him they were offering more money thus forcing the agent to take the higher deal? idk how else it would happen.

Big Blitz Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I wonder how much of it Washington was already salty they lost Settle to us A ton of fans here are not happy they lost him One said to me "we should have traded the guy that wants to punch everybody and kept the guy that just wants to ball out."

junior Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 When a reporter asked Beane about Levi Wallace, he said (paraphrasing here - not an exact quote): "That's where it gets hard. Sometimes you tie up money in one player, maybe you're out on some other players, then that player backs out." I wonder if the Bills decided to sign McKissic over Wallace, and when he backed out, Wallace had already committed to Pittsburgh 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think Washington changed after the negative reaction to letting him walk for a small contract. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanForever19 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Hearing Beane say that Von's agent reached out to them makes me feel that he was one of the reported "Big Name" Free Agents that made their interest known at the Combine.

Billsfanatic8989 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I'm so glad we have a stud QB. Too many times through the years In March the question would be: Have you found a QB? What options are available to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a feeling eith Basham, Epenesa or both could be traded to a team heavy in CB's but light on the d-line.

Simstim Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) Beane was/ is furious at the WCs. He was choosing every word carefully.

I have always liked Beane as being a straight shooter type guy when he talks to the media. He's clearly a wheeler dealer and all business GM. Hearing he speak regarding the deal having fallen through with McKissic is one of those times when I trusted every word he said and Mad? He was, he is, and he spoke clearly his displeasure.

Well, it's a fact that Levi signed with the Stillers for $8M with a $2.5M cap hit this season and $2.9M guaranteed And it's a fact that the contract the Bills offered McKissic was $7M plus $1M in incentives and could well have had a similar or greater cap hit. 1 hour ago, junior said: When a reporter asked Beane about Levi Wallace, he said (paraphrasing here - not an exact quote): "That's where it gets hard.

I wonder if the Bills decided to sign McKissic over Wallace, and when he backed out, Wallace had already committed to Pittsburgh 🤷♂️ I think that's probably what happened, and that's one of the reasons why Beane is so pissed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
