Beck Water Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 OK, I didn't see this upthread but someone has to ask it: Having just had a player take a full year to come back from an ACL rehab (and still not be 100% and now a second player go onto season ending IR with an ACL, where "if all goes well" we hope he'll be back for "most of 2023" - Brandon Beane, do you REALLY want to offer a contract to a 30 year old guy rehabbing his 2nd ACL in 2 years, who THINKS he can be ready to play AFTER the end of the season (5 weeks), and who wants to be signed for more than this season?

Had this same thought .. wondering if Von’s injury affects their thought process regarding OBJ. If I had to guess, they likely operate under the view that you can’t extrapolate what happens to one player against all the work & evaluation you’ve done on another. Id imagine they view OBJ as his own person, contract, view on what he can do for the team. Not potentially “ACL Guy #3”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generic_Bills_Fan Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I’m going the other way with this and I think he most likely signs a cheap prove it deal with us or nothing at this point based on what the giants and cowboys have said he’s losing a lot of his bargaining position lately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This whole thing is non sensical. What if the Bills are offering up a deal that is for the rest of this year and next year. We don't expect much this year, hope for some playoff games. After the Superbowl, the Bills could entertain offers to move G Davis- because his situation is dicey. Move him if they can get a 2nd for him. Use a high draft pick on a WR who can be brought in as an understudy to OBJ in 2023. The contract could be incentive laden for this season. I don't know what they would offer for next year. Of course there is risk involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This whole thing is non sensical. This is priceless. First, I doubt you can afford him, and that you’ve actually interviewed him. Even better you are not a coach or GM and have nothing to do with an NFL team. Second, you know nothing about his personality or how he is on a sideline, in a huddle, at practice or in the locker room. Rams wanted him back, NY Giants would like him back, former teammates want him on their team and the Bills players want him. Point is, fans don’t have a say and none of us have any clue as to what type of teammate he is or his personality. If the players want him, that’s good enough for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck Water Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 5 hours ago, Pabstblueribbon said: OBJ is trying to get his best deal. If Poyer was right and he's back in Buffalo, it's to say "here's what Dallas offered, can you beat it?" He'll probably go back to Giantland, if he's even remotely interested in playing there and have the same talk. Jerry making chess moves to sow doubt to impact other teams offers and lower the amount he will likely end up paying. That's how I see it anyway. I could be wildly mistaken, but in this day and age, I don’t know why the player would be traveling from town to town shopping for the best deal on his contract. That’s what they have agents for, and videoconferencing, and the ability to share documents on the internet securely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like people knew that knee was yolked up after surgery and was quote “a ticking time bomb” last year. I can’t even imagine playing on that and knowing your knee could very well go at any moment. He showed enough, imo, to warrant my interest if I’m Buffalo as him being my WR2 for a year or two, and if he can help in the playoffs this year… even better. It sounds like his knee is in a much better place (surgery/recovery) than last year. I do get the trepidation though. I’m certainly not thinking we’re going north of 10-15M per year. I’m under the assumption the gamble is to get an elite WR2 at a bargain. Edited December 8, 2022 by SCBills 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
