What was the number for Gabe? $5m a year ?
My thoughts on Cook ( which are worth the same as anyone else’s - not much) are that he plays out the year and moves on ..
Cheaper deal than I was expecting ….
There must be some pressure on a young guy who was picked late Day 3 , and earned practically nothing over three years , to take the $40-50m guaranteed …
Find a guy in the draft now for the other side …
They will both end up on a team … they have no doubt over valued themselves … I thought some of the projections for Cooper at $15m a year was comedy gold even in this inflated market …
This is both a realistic and highly possible strategy …. I see no chance that Beane patiently sits there from 62 to 109 twiddling his thumbs ..its highly probable he moves up into the third …
Another possibility is a trade up in the second 10 spots or so in return for a move back from second to third with the other second round pick…maybe they do this to make sure they secure a CB they want in the second …
I’m waiting until after the draft …I suspect that they draft a WR in rounds 2-4 …so that probably closes the door on Cooper..
they might take two CBs in the draft this year … but say they only take one then maybe Douglas is still some hope … I don’t think he is playing on a Brandon Beane $2mil special if that’s the expectation…. Maybe $3m might get it done
I’ll tell you pretty simply what my argument is .
He could have asked for and received $65m a year from the Bills and no one would have really blinked an eye…
He has played for $10m a year less ..: I’m not saying that makes him some type of matyr or anything …but no doubt it will help them out …
The Patriots might have …
He is the best player in the competition now …the fact he got the highest guaranteed money doesn’t mean he couldn’t have got more if he dug in
That is a good point …signing Winston was such an uninspiring move I must have deleted it from my mind …
Wonder if Beane will have his buddy Schoen back next year ? Dabs is a 1000/1 to be back with McD
Good luck to them…. Eventually one of the other teams in the Division is going to get their act together, and they look to be in the box seat ….although 2025 might be too soon …
Will be interesting to see what that Number 4 pick turns into … Jets couldn’t really hit a home run with one of their top picks …
Nice money if you can get it!
Probably sees at least 2 years of that …
im sure our DBs will be excited to go against him next season …Hamlin and Jackson are going to line him up no doubt ..
