Dragonborn10 Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Not worth that kind of money. Nix/Whaley had better have a plan for the OL though...
RkFast Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 So draft a player, put time into him and then just as soon as he gets good, he can walk. Yay, parity!

Yeah, it's frustrating to continue to come into drafts with more needs than picks, but what could they do? That's a huge offer and there are a lot of holes to fill.
Dr. Fong Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 I have a feeling he didn't want to be here and that's too much money to pay for a guard. Too bad. Turn the page.

Bill from NYC Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) This is horrible news. The Titans got him for a fair price too. He was easily one of our 5 best players. And he was durable and young. This should never have happened. Edited March 12, 2013 by Bill from NYC
Dean Cain Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 I will cry if and when we draft a QB in the 1st round only to not pay up when the rookie contract expires.

Chandler#81 Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Best wishes, Andy. dammit! I HATE to lose good players. Personally, I don't think that's a budget buster and probably in line with top tier OG. Dammit!

He's a fine player, but that is a budget buster... Can't think of two things I care less about in an OG than playoff experience and Pro Bowls.

Overpaying for your own FA is as bad as overpaying for another teams.

habes1280 Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 And wow-- this just in-- the Dolphins ink Mike Wallace in 5 year/$65 million deal. (Again, per Shefter)

That's money than can help fix the LB core.
Mark Vader Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Now we have another need for this team to address.
QCity Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Don't like to lose him but I applaud the FO for letting him walk at that price.

They could have signed him last year like they should of. Guy is possibly the best G in the league. 8 mil is not that ridiculous. This is crap and I'm not happy with the Bills for letting him walk like that
