It's gonna be a contract extension. He's a "heart and soul guy", coming off a career year, they need cap savings, and they just released their veteran center and won't want to create the leadership and talent void that jettisoning their good LT would create.

Announcement will come soon. Watch.

Logic has some logic 😊

The thing that gets me is the multiple leaps people make.

 

When something is said or tweeted, it's one thing to imply maybe it means something beyond what it most likely is.

 

But then they leap again to it means a trade is likely or possible based on the unlikely conclusion they've already jumped to.

Yeah, there's absolutely no difference between the *GM* of the team, who makes the decisions of a players future, *specifically* talking about the future of a player at a position that is overly crowded and a player with little reason to be traded themselves tweeting out something "cryptic" 🙄

Expand  

Misinterpreting and making leaps is dependent on the source.  Gotcha🤦‍♂️

"You didn't tell them about my pubes, did you?"

This 1 reminds me of the guy who used to watch where Pegula's jet was going and tracking his every move.

We seem to read too much into tweets and verbiage.  Didn’t people here get worried that Douglas was being traded or released because Beane used past tense when discussing him last season?  Then a day or two later he signed a restructured deal.

 

Dawkins isn’t going anywhere.

🤣Yes, that's exactly right!  Utterly ridiculous take on a 15 second blurb in Beane's presser, yet some idiotic lemmings ran with it!🤣  Message boards are fun, just don't get your stock tips here! 

[Process]

I bet this is just negotiation tactics 

[strive_for_five_guy]

Maybe we’re locking Dion down with a long-term deal, but the thought of Buffalo being his long-term home is depressing to him? 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

Do you think he's worth a 1st?

The big thing most people miss is that you trade contracts as much as the players.  Trading for a 4 million dollar guy is one thing, trading for a 14 million dollar guy that needs 18-20M is something else.

Well the earliest Millennials were born in 1981. Late 70's is actually more Millennial than Gen X even though you are a Gen Xer. I had someone born in 1979 bashing Millennials and I was like " bro, if you were born 2 years later you would have been a Millennial". It's funny to hear people say sometimes 

Expand  

 

I was born in 1973, so I lived a life as a kid growing up with antenna TV, no video game consoles and no VCR until 1985, so no MTV. We had 8 tracks and vinyl albums. Growing up during the late 70s is vastly different than being born in the late 70s

Lets not pretend these weren't full threads with multiple guys watching.

It just annoys me. I'm almost 40 as a Millennial, the oldest Millennials are now 43 years old but they still get blamed for stupid things and have stuff said about them like "it's hard to interpret a Millennials tweets" like we are still 25 years old lol.

I know exactly who Gene Wilder is because again, Millennials are either near 40 or over 40. But you still think they are 25 years old lol

Expand  

I’d feel a lot younger if I’d squeezed into the millennial age range…just barely still a Gen Xer born in 1978 🤧…I believe we’re the forgotten generation? 🤷🏼‍♂️

[Alphadawg7]

Not sure what all the confusion is, seems pretty clear there is an extension in bound, and was mostly expected to be part of the plan to get under the cap.

We had it via dial up in the 1980's @Buffalo03 but didn't know what to call it.

So many lines I could add to this but I'd just get in trouble mentioning it when I upset one of the 127 genders out there.

Negotiation for what? He doesn't have to agree and he still is on the team. Renegotiate and make more guaranteed up front money. It's a no brainier

In the highly unlikely event that they were to trade Dawkins I think that might indicate that Terry is worried about the cost over-runs that are going to come out of his pocket on the big hole across the street.

 

Sabres fans are perplexed about why Pegula didn't weaponize his cap space to add draft capital in recent years and Terry recently issued a statement promoting "a new roof" on the arena as a sales pitch for the product.   All parts of Pegula Sports aren't spending like the Bills side has in recent years to indulge Beane's wants and perceived needs.
