Mikie's Bills Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Would've been a great add. Assume he is getting a nice deal after last year's season. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, because of the numbers he just put up, this is exactly why a team would bring him in, obviously---to be used in the same way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From his perspective, he doesn't know if another team will be able to achieve that for him. Better teams have better targets that eat up the share of targets. He can continue to be the main engine in that offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a one year deal with Buffalo would have been better for him. He’d put up better numbers here. That said, I bet ATL is paying him to try to keep Ryan happy after going after Watson and losing Gage in FA and the stud WR (totally blanking) to gambling suspension. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are limited opportunities in landing a "life changing" contract in the NFL. There are plenty of financially broke former scrub players out there with rings. Can't blame him for cashing in.

JGMcD2 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 2 years at $10.5M total. That’s slightly less than what I thought he would get (2 years with a $6-7M AAV). I really believed that would be in our price range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those scrub players may have won a ring but chances are good many of those rings get sold for cash when that player runs low on cash. Now those 0layers who took care to set aside some funds will maybe keep their rings but I'd suspect that's not the majority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
