Reed's drop vs. Haddad's fumble

[Coach Tuesday]

Also don't forget ECONOMICS. Reed makes what, five times what Haddad would make next year? Last or second-to-last year of his second-round pick deal? Cut his a$$, keep two guys around to replace him (Haddad and Wilson), and you'll still have money left over.

 

Reed lacks confidence - to the point where he actively admits it to anyone who asks. There is nothing more dangerous or pathetic than an NFL player who lacks confidence.

 

Buh-bye.

He should have caught the pass. It was not an easy pass to catch, but you have to catch those tough passes if you want to be in the NFL.

Still, Reed did have 3 receptions in that game, and he is a good blocking receiver.

Yes he has dropped many a pass, but I have also seen numerous dropped passes by both Aiken and Smith as well.

 

My final WR depth chart prediction: Moulds, Evans, Parrish, Reed, Haddad, & Wilson.

Actually, I think the financial aspect is a secondary (if not tertiary consideration for the coaching staff judging by their past actions. They cut Bobby Shaw last year even though he was on the roster long enough that we were on the hook for his whole salary whether he was with us or not.

 

It was great to see the braintrust make a move which cost the Bills $ in terms of a roster replacement for Shaw in order to take the chance to find some help and send a sport rather than business message to the team.

 

If anything if economics are a driver it cuts in Reed's favor because his cap hit is substantially higher than Haddad's or Aiken's not becaise he will be be paid so much more than them in base salary this year but because the bonus already paid to him as a 2nd round pick is prorated each year over the life of the contract. If you want to see the true difference look at Clumpy's salary page at Billszone.com. The difference in base salary is not 5 times but actually in the tens of thousands of dollars. it cut ins Reeds favor as if cut his bonus becomes deadspace a sign of GM miscalculation.

 

Hpwever. from the start where TD screwed up by extending deals for Holocek and Jones who were then cut the team chose their player judgment (even though that turned out to be wrong as Raion Hill could not do the job and a poor assessment of how much Jenkins had left made Wire a starter at SS when he could not handle the job and led to the Bills being forced to make a huge payment to Milloy because the market demanded it.

 

In addition, TD also paid a huge bonus to get Jason Glidon to sign but rather than keep him because they paid him they cut him.

 

The economics are diffenrent than you lay our and thank gosh the Bills do not give it the weight you seem to.
