Yeah, you always have to wait for the full details to come out. Here's the OTC breakdown: http://overthecap.com/player/cordy-glenn/222/ It is pretty standard for contracts of this size to be structured like this. Player gets cash upfront and some additional cash guarantees early in the contract and the team gets to kick a nice chunk of the cap hits into future years. Oh, and Cordy is getting paid very well this year. He already got a check for $16M and he's getting $3M more in salary in 2016.

Oh, I think you know what I meant.

It'd take me all night to point out everything wrong with this post so I'll just hit some high points: - Joe Thomas is the best LT in the NFL. He's a wonderful technician, which is great for a LT. But you want to put him at RT and run a power game behind him. That would not work well. - The Browns won't trade him unless they get a big premium. Think a first round pick plus another pick. The Bills aren't in a place they can - or should want to - do that. - The Bills don't have the cap space for him and he wants his money. I'm just going to call it there.

This is just embarrassing.

Where'd you see one of his sons defending him? It wasn't in the link. I'd think that it is unlikely that he will get any defense from his sons unless they're protecting their mother or the family fortune. All of his children are adopted and it was heavily rumored that Jerry Sandusky plead out because at least one of his sons was going to testify that he'd been abused by him. Rather than have that happen he took the deal.

How many times did he have to practice that before he stopped accidentally saying "anxious" instead of "excited"?

I have yet to see them posted. A general outline is out, but details aren't to my knowledge.

I can't see how someone can issue a grade on a contract before the details are out.

The Jest certainly appear to have a value on Fitz. And Fitz certainly appears to have a price to play. Sometimes those two positions change as options become limited, time grows short or outside pressure increases. Sometimes they don't. If they don't, then Fitz isn't playing for the Jest this season. If they do, then he may. We will just have to wait and see.

Yup. As an OSU alum I watched pretty much every game Adams played there. My wife is a Steelers fan. Adams is highly talented, but his mental lapses are horrific. You can't do that at the NFL level. He will string together a dozen plays where he looks great. Then, just when you are ready to jump on his bandwagon and declare him a stud, he makes a WTF!? mistake that has you looking at his jersey to make sure it's the same guy. Every game is like that. You can't have a LT that makes 3 or 4 boneheaded plays a game. I ripped him before the draft and I ripped him after the draft. In fact during the draft I remember showing my wife that while he looked good in the clips they showed of him when he was picked, he also got beat horribly in a highlight of another player taken near him. He's never going to be consistient enough to be a starter in the NFL. Never. Probably his upside is as a backup swing tackle. But he wouldn't be my first choice there either.

Outstanding work, bandit!

Again, lmao! Great thread.

Their analysis basically amounts to: The Bills drafted well and specifically filled big needs. That should result in improvement in record. Not an Earthshattering revelation or anything, but it's nice to see unbiased analysis confirm what you already believe (which often is biased).

I am copying this to the draft grades thread. Should have gone there initially.

http://www.predictionmachine.com/nfl-draft-grades-class-rankings-2016-browns-bears-bengals Here is one analytics site that likes what the Bills did. While it ranks their draft as 11th best overall they put the Bills in a statistical tie for 2nd in terms of predicted added wins from this draft. They also have the Bills moving up to 9th overall as a team. That all seems reasonable. I liked the Bills draft very much from a need-filling perspective and I loved the Shaq pick even aside from need.

The comment about a fully guaranteed $2.8M base salary is incorrect. His fully guaranteed salary is $1.6M. His cap hit is $2.8M. Lmao

I was thinking Denver might wind up a logical choice. They haven't seemed interested in Fitzy at all. Just wondering if he might not look a whole lot better to them after seeing the Sanchize for a few games. A lesser contract with a much better team than the Jest might interest Fitzy more as a shot at a ring may have real value to him. Lynch isn't anywhere close to getting on the field and their other option right now is Siemian. Dallas might be another option after the inevitable Romo Injury. I can't see Prescott being ready and they have nothing else. He will have options if he's patient. And why wouldn't he be patient at this point? The Jest can't even pay him what they're offering (much less what he wants) without roster moves and it's not like they have any other options either.

Yeah. But I was wondering if chasing a ring - or even having a playoff run - might be worth something to the guy. I keep coming back to this: Why accept a below market value deal with the Jest? Get your money or chase a ring. Who knows what QB goes down. Hell, by week 3 he might look damn good to Denver. They won a ring with a decrepit Peyton Manning and Brock Freaking Osweiler. You can't tell me Fitzy wouldn't have a chance.

What better options would there be?

LMFAO!

Dunno about that. What is to sctop him from waiting and seeing which other team loses their QB to injury? There'll be some desperate team with a shot at the playoffs that'll need him.

Can't believe he fell as far as he did. I was way off on that.

I did. It was light. Pick 19: 875 Pick 34: 560 Pick 67: 255 Total: 815 Could have asked for 101 which is valued at 96 points, but I'd have been looking for a premium with Lawson and Doctson on the board. I like Whaley's counter. If Jerry was serious he'd have at least negotiated. http://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-Value-Chart.asp?RequestTeam=Dal
