My point is this, how do you know they didn't? How do you know he would have said yes if they offered him 20 million, 30 million? The NFL is about WINNING. Plain and simple, the Bills haven't had a winning season since 2002. The Bills have been a poorly run franchise. Players of Clabo's caliber don't want to play for organizations like that. They want to win, they want that shiny ring, that beautiful platinum trophy.
Do this, weigh out the pro's and con's of playing for both Atlanta, and Buffalo, and be honest.
Clabo's gonna get his money either way. He had his choice of where he wanted to play, and it wasn't Buffalo, and it wasn't because of the money.
Let me put it another way. In the next 5 years, who has the better shot at going to a Super Bowl ?
Please, don't get me wrong. I love the Bills, and am very frustrated about how things have gone recently. I wish they could land a guy like Clabo, or Asomugha. I just think that posters on this board are missing the reality of the situation. What I do know, is that I am going to cheer for the Bills and hope that they get to the Super Bowl with the roster that "no one else wanted". I hope they beat the Pats in the AFC Championship game, and hope they beat Atlanta in the Super Bowl. I can personally guarantee that if that happened I would be spending a very drunken night in my local county jail! I would also miss work for a week or two haha.
