But the amount of money we're saving on the likes of Cook, Rousseau, and Brown is staggering. I haven't been a fan of his free agent classes but he is better than any GM out there at keeping his own happy and paying them before the market inflates. This is an excellent point. The odd small overpay on Knox on Bernard is worth the saving on Cook, Groot and Spencer. 1 Quote

eball Posted October 3 Posted October 3 What a great story for this Buffalo kid. He’s getting life-changing money and seems like the sort of level-headed guy who won’t squander it. 3 1 Quote
Captain Murica Posted October 3 Posted October 3 He’s living basically every kids dream… He gets to play for his hometown team and make a ton of money doing it. Congrats to him, no easy task to make the team as UDFA and get an extension. 2 1 Quote
BigAl2526 Posted October 3 Posted October 3 I don't know that he has the talent to ever be a major contributor on defense, but the team needs some dedicated special teamers, so yeah, this was a worthwhile extension to do. 1 Quote
BarleyNY Posted October 3 Posted October 3 My wife met him a couple time when she was with Evans Bank. Super kid. He said he couldn’t believe that he got to play football for a living. So happy for him. 3 Quote
billsfan89 Posted October 4 Posted October 4 He is a core special teams player and a solid third string LB, well worth the money. 1 Quote
Matt_In_NH Posted October 4 Posted October 4 (edited) Amazing for this dude! Seemed like a fringe roster guy but this shows how the bills feel about him. Teams can make you money in the NFL! Edited October 4 by Matt_In_NH 1 Quote
