truth on hold Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 some more help for the oline and Roman will have all the pieces he needs for a ground n pound, running/short to intermediate passing offense. Question: will they be able to use deeper threats like Goodwin and Watkins? Be interested how many times they threw the ball more than 20 yards with 9ers, and how that ranks vs rest of league
Lurker Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 So, this off-season thing....apparently it can be a pretty good time, eh? Doug Marrone walked away from this? Yeah, that's quite a fork in the road he took....
Rubes Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 If they get Clay, I'd be officially totally pumped for the season, and it's only mid-March. Those bastards.
YoloinOhio Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 @BuffaloWins: Dont compare TE contracts in years past because of inflation. Kyle Rudolph got a 5/36 in 2014 and career high is 53 Recs and b4 that was 30
It's in My Blood Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 better? Lol  Read option https://t.co/HFXfVrdgTk Damn! McCoy would've been gone on that play because of Clays block. Wow.
BigBuff423 Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Best 2 things that have happened to the BILLS in the last 25 years, happened this football year: Pegulas took over and Marrone wimped out, tucked tail and left town. Rex / Roman with Whaley pulling the roster strings has altered the BILLS' destiny in a powerfully positive way unlike any other in more than two decades.
Dennis in NC Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 So, this off-season thing....apparently it can be a pretty good time, eh? Doug Marrone walked away from this? This off-season is so good BECAUSE Doug Marrone walked away from it!!!
YoloinOhio Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Â @hsimon62: if you are worried about the cap w/report that Clay's 2016 cap # will be around 12 million. don't worry. even w/dareus coming up (1/2) @hsimon62: as per http://t.co/TfHg2CvTtL, #Bills top 51 contracts in 2016 take up $109 million in space. some are projecting 2016 cap to be around 160m @hsimon62: Bills would have room to cover Dareus and Gilmore. Bills have till May 3rd to exercise a 2016 option on Gilmore which would cost 10M plus @hsimon62: they haven't touched mario williams contract yet and he has cap # of 19m plus. they can re-structure to clear more room if they want @hsimon62: great to have filthy rich owners who will spend whatever it takes including bonus money that lowers cap #'s to sign/keep key players
NoSaint Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Can't they just restructure those deals? The option is a 1 year team option on the rookie deal. They'd have to sign him long term. The trouble with that being a high signing bonus to make sure it's a lie cap hit would take real commitment (not the year-to-year easy to cut contract mid tier guys are getting). Â Suh not only can, but it'd be SHOCKING if all haven't already agreed to it. @hsimon62: if you are worried about the cap w/report that Clay's 2016 cap # will be around 12 million. don't worry. even w/dareus coming up (1/2) @hsimon62: as per http://t.co/TfHg2CvTtL, #Bills top 51 contracts in 2016 take up $109 million in space. some are projecting 2016 cap to be around 160m @hsimon62: Bills would have room to cover Dareus and Gilmore.

If we spend 200m cash this year we simply can't spend as much the next few. Id guess a wide majority can sign the checks we are - including ralph
Lurker Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Going, going.... Â http://espn.go.com/blog/miami-dolphins/post/_/id/13873/dolphins-should-let-charles-clay-walk
Utah John Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 That seems like a lot for a tight end. But then again, we haven't had a really good TE since.......Remiersma? Nope. Metzelaars? Not really. Tony Hunter? Didn't stick around. Keith McKellars? Biggest contribution was his initial for the K Gun. Â Over 50 years and we're getting the best guy at this position we've ever had, unless I just can't remember who else might have been better.
Rob's House Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 I'm glad we got him, but that's a lot of cap space he's going to tie up for the next few years. Hope he lives up to it.
beerme1 Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 So, this off-season thing....apparently it can be a pretty good time, eh? Doug Marrone walked away from this? Â Â Marone walked away from this. Makes it that much sweeter doesn't it? And we get to do this with a guy who's easy to like in Rex as opposed to the jerk personality of Marone. Thanks again Doug.
Ohiostyle Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 And this was going to be the first year since 95 that I wasn't going to buy Madden. Now I've got all these talented targets, how can I resist?

John from Riverside Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Your move Miami.....we win either way
