Our early picks were late round picks making their holdouts less likely 3. Bills don't draft divas 4. These guys probably know they are potentially playing in a SB early in their career 5. Reputation of organization, team mates and fans But yeah I agree. I don't think I can remember a team having their entire team sign two weeks after the draft. Wow articles are really spot on when they talk about how the Bills tend to work in stealth mode more than most teams i.e. the Von Miller deal I actually was going to post a comment today that I was bit worried about Elam signing as he doesn't have an agent, was using father and uncle. Sometimes in those situations they may have acted like the diva and think they know more than an agent would since they played the game and would have made things difficult Or also could have gone very quickly as not as knowledgeable and got taken to the cleaners be Beane. I would assume they did use an attorney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Bills PR getting lazy instead of saying we signed the players wanted to time they just waited until they had them all done 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spanos does not have near the cash resources of TPEGS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring on the camp battles. GO BILLS!~!~!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 (edited) Not hard these days with them basically bracketed in to a contract value by the rookie wage scale. Mostly just offset language has to be worked out with some other minor details. Edited May 13, 2022 by Big Turk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also let's the Bills know exactly how much cap space is left if they are still trying to get someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
