I Forgot My Last Username Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 By the way, according to Football Outsiders, which i read religiously, Reed was our most valuable reciever last season. (By a metric measuring values per times as the target of a play. Or something.) Football Outsiders WR ranks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Hallelujah! Now the "I just have a feeling Josh Reed will go somewhere else and really make us pay" posts can stop.

He's trying to put together a somewhat competative team in the short term while waiting for big money contracts expire or get to the point where overpaid players can be cut without blowing a hole in the cap. There's a roster purge quietly going on. Marv is alot more patient and doesn't have the ego that TD does. He's not gonna gut this team all at once like TD did, but slowly, methodically, you will see the team change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunTheBall Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Here in NE country, there was a lot of talk on sports radio about picking up JR. The way they were talking, it was like he was a star. Not a heckuva lot of talk about Andre Davis except that NE gave up a 3rd rounder for him yet Buffalo signed him for a reasonable contract. I think re-signing JR is not a bad call. Hopefully he'll get the dropsies out of his head and start producing again like his first year. RTB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Sadly...this reed signing is one of our best signings his offseason 633895[/snapback] Correct. I'm very glad that Reed will still be with us. I still think he can be an effective receiver with the Bills. stuckincincy Posted Today, 05:17 PM Good that they kept Haggan. I'm glad that you pointed this out too. Everyone here is so concerned about Reed being re-signed, that they seem to forget that Haggan's re-signing is a good one. Our entire back-up LB corps(Haggan, Stamer, & Crowell) is still intact. Not only does this help out with our depth, but this is also great for our special teams, which these 3 players are a big part off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Reed looked better last year than in previous years. But at best he will play 4th WR and Parrish will take the #3 position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 That appears to be the standard contract amount for mid-level FAs this year. The devil is in the details, however, in the way the money is spread out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The devil is in the details, however, in the way the money is spread out. 634129[/snapback] I think you hit Lurker...the deal is probably back end loaded..something like Salary Year 1 $1M Salary Year 2 $1.5 M Salary Year 3 $2.5 Salary Year 4 $3 M Amoritized bonus is $500K per year ...so cap hit for this year is probably in the range of $1.5 M... Also--if Fairchild brings the Rams offense--there is little difference between the playing time for #3 Receiver and #4 Receiver--McDonald and Curtis had similar numbers the couple of years if you remove the impact that Curtis starting had when Bruce was hurt last year.. I wonder however--if something is in the works with Moulds.....Denver is building to win now and those 2 late number 1's are more of a burden than a blessing....could one of those be targeted to acquire Eric....hmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
