Yep. The Steelers are in a very tough division and they aren't a franchise (or fanbase) that would accept a 4-13 "rebuilding" season with a raw rookie QB...
OJ in his prime was unquestionably the best player in the NFL, not just the best RB, something you could not say about any other Bill in franchise history, although I expect Josh Allen will change that shortly.
None of the people mentioned in the second paragraph are even close to OJ…he is the only Buffalo Bill who, for at least a couple seasons, was the best player in the entire NFL.
OJ Simpson
Josh Allen
Bruce Smith
Eric Moulds
Cookie Gilchrist probably belongs somewhere on the list, but I never saw him play.
What’s even more incredible is that OJ wasn’t even featured by the Bills in his first three seasons. He had his breakout year at age 25 and his five dominant seasons took place between the ages of 25-29
To me, the most interesting part was when he said in year 3, McDermott “handed him the keys” and said “this is your team”…basically gave him free reign. Very cool…
At the very least, I think it would be tough to convince a jury to convict Araiza for what others did afterward...which may be why no charges have been filed against him yet.
No i didn't. He can still be traded if he agrees to the trade. There are teams he might want to go to and this contract makes him a more attractive trade target.
The agent doesn’t get to decide…Lance has looked bad in preseason…Jimmy may get an opportunity to start again with the 49ers, and the new contract makes him more tradable if something opens up during the season….
No, his goal is whatever his client tells him his goal is. If he wasn’t willing to fight for Araiza’s job, then Araiza had the right to replace him with someone who would.
