PRICE IS WRONG FOR BUFFALO

 

The immediate reaction around the league to the decision of the Bills to give a four-year contract worth more than $10 million to receiver Peerless Price is negative.

 

How negative?  Well, maybe "negative" isn't the right word.  We say that because it seems that the move is providing plenty of entertainment.

 

"People are laughing their asses off," said one league source.

 

Sure, Price had his best seasons with the Bills.  But the only real similarities between the team that Price last played for in Buffalo and the organization that plays there now are the colors of the helmets, shirts, and pants.

 

Everything else is different.

 

Different coaching staff.  Different quarterback.  Different running back.  Different receivers.

 

The biggest difference is that Price no longer will be operating across from Eric Moulds, a guy who constantly drew double coverage during Price's prior time with the team.  And this means that Price more likely will be the guy that he was in Atlanta and Dallas.

 

Which means that he's not worth a contract averaging in excess of $2.5 million a year.

 

The move seems ever more curious in light of owner Ralph Wilson's ongoing gloom-and-doom routine regarding the financial viability of the franchise.  On one hand, Wilson is concerned that the team might not be profitable.  On the other hand, his front office gives an eight-figure contract to a guy no one else wanted.

 

So maybe the current monetary woes facing the Bills have a little less to do with the size of the market in which the team plays, and more to do with the quality of the folks who are calling the shots there.

 

THIS JUST IN...
