    I dunno Muppy, I am on the fence on this...

     

    Melvin Gordon wants an extension so he isn't risking injury before heading into a FA period... that's actually reasonable.  Where as guys like OBJ and Antonio Brown who are vets with 3 + years LEFT On their MEGA deals, and they want more money just because other guys have signed bigger deals in the 1-2 years since they signed theirs... that's just flat out greedy BS, and they should be ashamed....  

     

    There is "get paid when you can" and "money grubbing dick bag"... I feel like most guys are just trying to get paid while they can... but there are definitely the money grubbers who make the rest look bad.

    Thanks man that is a great post right there....I shouldn't simply assume he is solely greedy for his holdout...it was the greedy ones I have more of an issue with.

     

    Bottom line have a Great agent who will advocate for you STRONGLY uphold YOUR interests Period. Get Paid.

    Then that goes to Teams as well right. They Signed it They should Honor it. Not Cut a player 

    That is a really interesting take and It is logical that my premise should indeed cut both ways but clearly doesn't. I would then have to say that the contract itself is written what moneys is paid if a guy is cut while signing a deal and he does sign that as part of the deal I guess Im just a "if you sign it dont cry later you're not happy because someone else is earning more wah wah wha I just dont care for that.

    Thats the Nature of the business. And I am ok with it. However that is what also always gets me with the “Honor the Contract” you signed Argument when it comes to players holding out. You Never hear that Honor the Contract Argument back to the Owners when cutting players 

    YEP i get super annoyed when I hear that guys sign and then whine they want more money. Being in san diego an example here is they are dealing with Melvin Gordon I have not heard of any resolution there yet I firmly agree that if you signed it you should honor it. Period.

    Agree kind of cold but that is the business of the NFL. They knew he was too far behind at this point to make the backend of the roster. So wanted to Free Up trainers time to deal with INJ on players that will and said here is your money go rehab on your own. 

    its is a cold business with a capital COLD I have had that beaten into me through numerous cuts of players I really admired ... Now its just rooting for the roster in general..a friend of mine calls it "rooting for the laundry"

    So he took a banned substance. His suspension will hold for sure.

     

    With the list of stuff they can't take being a mile long, why would they not check every single time they are about to try something new? Seems simple.

     

    Its a cautionary tale to NFL players they should have that banned list and have their physicians check and double check that they will test clean before taking ANYTHING. If there were NO fertility enhancing drugs available that allow he to test cleanly then I'd say he has a valid issue with the NFL unless their rationale is football before family...Id like to see THAT defended in court oboi SMH

    I'm sure if you wrote your ticket rep and said you were going to do what your friend did I bet that would be more than happy to sell them to you

    That's to stop all the Patriots fans who buy our seasons at a fraction of the cost of theirs

     

    Then resell every game and make money while going to the Patriots at Bills

    well I can see why the Bills would want to sell to locals sure but I had a buddy in NYC who had his season tickets faithfully for years, attended a couple games, sold a couple and donated all the rest to WNY childrens charities ..that's just the kind of guy he was though The Best...RIP Tonto

    Bills territory/Bills Country. It’s a state of mind more than geology

    . Born & raised in WNY, been a fan from their inception. I now live in significantly better climate -by choice, but still attend a game live from time to time and my fandom is as rabid as ever.

    Why the reason for the inquisition? 

    haha I love that quoted sentence CONCUR. Born and raised Batavia and a HUGE billsbackers group here in san diego at gamewatches it feels Just like home :-)))))

    I wanted Metcalf, and would have been happy with him in rd2, especially without trading up.

     

    I have always understood he has a high "bust factor", but his ceiling is just so freakin' high. Because of his size/speed, if he could clean up his release and work on catching with his hands he has a chance to be top 3 in the league.

     

    I know it's a long shot, but he seems like the WR version of Allen.

     

    At this point, I understand Beane's route, and am ok with who he drafted. He does know worlds more than I do when it comes to football, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at least a little worried about DK becoming a marquee player that we passed on.

    Don't torture yourself with woulda coulda shoulda's as far as draft picks are concerned if we were to get really caught up in THAT kind of drama passing on Khalil Mack for Sammy, passing on Patrick Mahomes u catch my drift you can look at most any draft and do that its basically pointless and depressing lol

  9. This post is for Gugny:......If that forearm shiver Gronkowski laid on Tre White had permanently disabled or ended his career would you be as tolerant of it being just one random shot? …..I don't care how frustrated Gronk was he "acted out of frustration" Baloney... he well could have killed him with that shot I for one will never forget it his name is tainted it was THAT BAD. Goon loser status secured sorry not sorry.

  10. Julian Love CB Fighting Irish. He didn't have a great combine but the guy is really good in man coverage if you watched him play in college. When the Irish played Clemson he being injured early in that game hampered ND quite a bit. I think he might drop a bit we'll see.

    and yes I do home hard for Domer players I think Boykin WR would be killer in a Bills uniform too, great hands, runs great routes and had an excellent combine 4.42 40 and highest vertical leap of any WR

  11. Happy St Pattys day 2BD chatters...Today I wore head to toe green including sparkle earrings and handbag ? traditional corned beef and cabbage dinner with irish soda bread with Kerry gold soft butter tonight (sprouts market)  this holiday is HUGE here in san diego and as a matter of fact the local Billsbackers bar held at PB Local had a Bills themed float in the annual St Pattys day parade held yesterday which is EPIC I'll try to post a pic.

     

    shucks pic wouldn't load it is on facebook under san diego Billsbackers

  12. we had this discussion at billievers chat board consensus is that weather taxes and having a history of losing are all factors. Having said that there should be a distinction between what tier of free agents would rather play elsewhere. Guys want their pay checks and yeah they'll come if offered good money....so  the free agents that can pick and choose where they want to play Im saying is a minority of ALL NFL players so the sample size I think skews the poll. Having said that money and winning talks SO the poor snooty babies will have to suck it up and shuffle off to Buffalo once we build a cast around Josh Allen (whom I believe is our next franchise QB) and the franchise turns around. I think we are seeing it going right to plan. and right before our very eyes. Buckle up buckeroos.
