Sniper Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 The Buffalo Bills organization is flirting too close to their poor characteristics of the past. It’s been a constant trend for the Bills; not retaining their talented free-agents, ultimately leaving the franchise with more holes to fill. This is unacceptable, especially for a team that’s been in the “rebuilding-phase” for over 10 years. There’s a limited amount of draft picks that can be used to fill your team’s voids and none of them are “sure-bets”. Head Coach Chan Gailey, and General Manager Buddy Nix are supposedly serious about bringing another winning franchise to Buffalo again. Well fellas, lets see it. Read More Here....

bobinaz Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Good article in which I have to agree with. The Bills have been notorious for years letting good players walk. Granted some of the players wanted too much money but there's a time when you need to bite the bullet and pay the man. If Stevie walks, then the team has another need to fill. Bringing in someone like another Ruvell Martin isn't going to work. The down side to the Bills' posturing with his contract offer might come back and bite them in the butt. If the other teams with high profile UFA WRs get tagged or resigned and Stevie walks, then the FO's gamble failed miserably. Hopefully the restructure of McGee's contract was to free up some money aside from keeping experience and depth at DB, to allow the Bills to add a little more to the pot for Stevie's contract offer.

jjmac Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I'm concerned about overpaying him. Pay him too much, and it's that much less we have to offer somebody to line up across from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark80 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Yeah, lets worry about paying a 25 year old two time 1,000 yard receiver who's played on crap teams for both of those years as the only viable receiving threat. Oh, and he is an inhouse developed 7th round draft pick that has stated that he wants to stay in Buffalo. It's quite simple, good franchises don't let players like this go. I don't really care about a couple celebration penalties or 2 dropped passes (only one of which would have clearly been a touchdown). OR, we can go out and overpay a crappy FA who only comes here because no one else wants him and doesn't really want to be a Bill and hasn't really produced before or is at the tail end of their career. Anyone who really thinks we are going to get someone on the same level as Mario Williams to come here is out of their mind (when all we do is let players like Stevie leave all the time). Get it done.

Pay him too much, and it's that much less we have to offer somebody to line up across from him. If we don't sign him, the guy lining up across from him will be on a different team. That way of thinking got us where we are today. Sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
