bills_fan Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 (edited) We have no idea how much the extension is for....I will not crticize until I know facts. For all we know, it is a 1-2 million per deal. Now, if its $6 mil/year for 4 years.....how f*&king stupid can you be? Edited September 29, 2010 by bills_fan

The Big Cat Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 Early reports were $24 mil over 4 yrs... but does that include signing bonuses and incentives???

So you won't believe that until it's official, thinking it may be a 4 year $4 million dollar deal? Edited September 29, 2010 by Buffalonian-at-Heart
birdog1960 Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 the only plausible explanation is that someone with dementia made this deal
OCinBuffalo Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 You can sort by median salary, it will show all LBs from highest to lowest. I know they're using 2009 numbers but this would make Kelsay the 11th highest paid LB in the NFL on that list, at 6 mill per year. Oh great, thanks for that stat, I feel much better. Does anybody believe Kelsay is the 11th best LB in the league? Besides our misguided FO?
nodnarb Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 I haven't read this thread so I don't know if this has already been said, but unless this is a sign and trade, which is doubtful, then I have no idea how kelsay deserves 6 million per season. That's about 1 million per sack, at least, and about 2 million per impact play. Kelsay has always been the same guy: Solid but unspectacular. I don't know how that equates to 6 million dollars per season. But hey: maybe I don't know the whole situation.

Besides our misguided FO? Want to feel worse? Kelays number is higher than Ray Lewis and Jerome Harrison, using that list.

Mike in Horseheads Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 Maybe its 2 million, 2 million, 2 million, and 18 million in the last year not guaranteed!!! Oh, never mind, I'm like everyone else wondering how and why. I've watched all three games and have only seen him chasing completed pass's down the field, no wonder his tackle stats are great.

GG Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 but does that include signing bonuses and incentives??? If the numbers are true, then it includes bonuses. The only silver lining is that since Kelsay was due $6 mil this year, they convert 2010 salary to bonus, and then have another roster bonus in March of $2 mil, plus $2 mil salary in 2011. So it won't hurt too much to cut him later. But that's not the issue however, as he's not worth the $6 mil they'r epaying him this year. No wonder Peters was pissed.

Punch Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 (edited) Each of the last 3 Bills Front Office "regimes" are now responsible for prolonging the Chris Kelsay era: -Donahoe drafted him high in the 2nd round -Levy/Brandon/Overdorf gave him a giant raise and extension -Nix now gives him a 2nd extension I'm not sure why Ralph or anyone else that served continually at One Bills Drive during the past 8 years would have such a soft spot for Kelsay, but there's just no way he truly is a starting DE/OLB in this league worth that kind of money. He's 30 years old and we're rebuilding? And Cornell Green's contract runs out when he's 37? Come on, now. Edited September 29, 2010 by Punch
Sisyphean Bills Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 Happy day in the Kelsay household, eh? Good for you folks.
Glory Bound Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 I want to hear someone interview Nix and see what he has to say. Nix has been a straight shooter so far, so I want to at least get it from the horses mouth...er...ass. When I first heard Nix speak, I laughed out loud. Talk about hokey. Then he said he wasn't the smartest guy in the room. I thought he was joking, but this signing proves he wasn't.
