    Albert Haynesworth pleading for a new kidney - in dire need

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted · Edited by Aussie Joe

    If he still has some of the piles of green stuff he earned on the field,  he will be able to get a kidney from China when they execute their next political prisoner and do their next organ harvesting, or India because we all have two right, and someone there will sell him one of theirs for 10 grand...

    This was what I was waiting for... and on the basis of these numbers I think it is an absolutely brilliant, no brainer of a deal. 

     

    You proposed a similar deal to this a few months back in another thread, and I must admit that I thought they would have to give him more money..

     

    It’s a very good deal for the Bills with his salary essentially already guaranteed this year as Rodak has already pointed out..

     

    He obviously wants to stay in Buffalo and remain part of what they are building....even if his game is down a notch or two come 2021, he still could be providing value for money at the amount they have to pay him..

    ROCKPILE REVIEW - The Hopeless Optimist

    It’s the off-season and anything seems possible..

     

    I think it’s ok to be optimistic after the free agency and draft..

     

    The OL was my biggest worry this time last year.... 3 months ago I would have been excited to think they could acquire Morse, Spain and Ford let alone a couple of others they have found that will at the least be replacing lesser players on the team..I’m expecting this improvement to be dramatic admittedly coming off a low base...

     

    Next issue was the WRs and TE’s .. whilst the makeover has not been quite as thorough here, I still think there are a couple of good acquisitions that Beane has made, and reasons to think returning players can improve..

     

    Of course, ultimately we all know who the biggest difference maker on the field has to be in 2019..At least we know that JA won’t leave any stone unturned  in his preparation and work ethic.. We will have to wait and see if he is the guy, but at least we should know one way or the other this season with the other improvements made to the offense..

    I guess it’s only 2 years but seems like a lot of money for a guy who has had 21 sacks in his last 4 years.  Hughes is a number 2 DE who is getting paid almost like a 1.  But you have to spend your money somewhere but it seems like they are starting to overpay like the last regime that got killed for it.

     

    $11.5 M a year is some margin from what elite guys are getting eg Frank Clark and Lawrence ...$20 Milion plus is the new Number 1 DE money in 2019..

    So so those are my worries.  Hughes walks, Murphy doesn’t come back to form and Shaq is out.  Ugh.. 

     

    But all three will be here in 2019 so let’s just see how that plays out first..

     

    All three will be motivated to play with two in their contract year and Murphy will need to go better then last year otherwise he will be cut in my view with no guaranteed money left for 2020..

     

    I know you are concerned that they haven’t extended Hughes yet, but given his age, I don’t think you can at this stage of the year..You need to see how he goes this season to make sure he isn’t slowing down..I think if he delivers like last year he will get extended... he seems to like it here from what I have seen from him..

     

    Shaq looks like he will be gone, and whilst I always like to see draft picks retained, I think he could be upgraded next offseason..

     

    Beane has done a pretty good job upgrading the OL in the 2019 offseason so I am expecting he turns his attention to pass rushers next offseason.
