Steve Billieve Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 We are going to play 1950s football. Either we are the dumbest team in the league or secret geniuses. Yeah . . . super secret . . . No - but Osemele's deal will raise everyone else's at Guard. If Osemele is worth 11 Mil a year, Richie's worth a whole helluva lot more than the initial 4 million estimation. Is that always true though? I don't think the Suh and Dareus deals raised the price on DTs
MarkyMannn Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 There are plans, but they are behind the Peace Bridge rebuild. Beat me to that response. Bills in the SB and Sabres in the Cup first
boyst Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 I mean if it is on your bucket list why not have them fly you in VIP and escorted to the Falls. Easier ways are not possible.
BillsFanForever19 Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) Is that always true though? I don't think the Suh and Dareus deals raised the price on DTsTrust me - I'd LOVE to be wrong. If we could land Richie Incognito AND Jahri Evans with our current restraints, I'd be dancing in the streets! Going into today, a good offer was thought to be in the 4.5 range or so. Osemele just signed for 11.7 a year. Richie is much older, yes. But he played at a Pro Bowl level last year. All agents base their deals on the latest handed out by position. Even asking for half of Osemele's deal is close to 6 million a year. EDIT: So he signed for $5 mil a year. He must not have had as big of a market as I feared/he hoped.

YoloinOhio Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 @pschrags With signing of Richie Incognito, I can report that veteran UFA guard Jahri Evans will not be signing with Bills. Can't pay both. @NFLonFOX
26CornerBlitz Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 @pschrags With signing of Richie Incognito, I can report that veteran UFA guard Jahri Evans will not be signing with Bills. Can't pay both. @NFLonFOX Gonna file this under NSS.
papazoid Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Jahri is RG.....ritchie a LG i'm still hoping.....
26CornerBlitz Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Jahri is RG.....ritchie a LG i'm still hoping..... No money for both especially so w/o lowering 2016 cap numbers of Glenn and/or Gilmore via contract extension.
boyst Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 @pschrags With signing of Richie Incognito, I can report that veteran UFA guard Jahri Evans will not be signing with Bills. Can't pay both. @NFLonFOX well, we can. We truly can and it would not be difficult whatsoever
aristocrat Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Restructure Kyle. not much to do except release him.
thebandit27 Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Restructure Kyle. I don't see the point. Sure, you save $3M this year, but you add $3M in dead cap money next year, when they're very likely to part ways with him. In fact, you guarantee that they have to part ways with him next year since his cap hit will balloon to $11.3M by restructuring him this year.
26CornerBlitz Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 not much to do except release him. Seems to me that they would have done this already if they were inclined to do so and Rex has talked as if he's in the plans for 2016.

Don't bother me with logic, bandit, it interferes with my euphoria. Just kidding, brother. Thank you, as I did not know about the above.

thurst44 Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 well, we can. We truly can and it would not be difficult whatsoever People were also saying there was no way the Bills could sign both Incognito & Glenn...yet here we are. And they did it with the franchise tag which is more expensive.

And they did it with the franchise tag which is more expensive. Most people were not saying this. The emphasis all along has been to re-sign their own guys. Evans was the fall back plan in case they couldn't retain Incognito.
flomoe Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Would be nice if they brought back Urbik on a cheaper deal. Not confident in Miller at RG. I'm pretty sure they restructured Urbik last year and paid him the vet minimum, or close to it. He was cut because they don't want him, plain and simple.
