3rdand12 Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 We always let good players walk even more doomed than before. spiraling out of control. i need to lie down. @tydunne Incognito heard from "6-7 teams" total but his goal was to return to Buffalo. Points to Rex Ryan as a big reason he wanted to be back, too. coolness. fire it up man!
aristocrat Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 we were all panicking there for a while. glad to see it came in line with what we all thought it would be. doesn't usually happen. now get on to glenn.
YoloinOhio Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) Says he took a discount too CBF So did Hughes... And said he wouldn't. @mikerodak Richie Incognito: "We definitely took a discount to stay in Buffalo. ... I owed it to them." Edited March 8, 2016 by YoloinOhio
eball Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 I tell ya, Richie is good people. I don't know/don't care about his past transgressions in the bullying scandal, but the guy has grown up and has shown a lot of character.
3rdand12 Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Now are we OK with Rex going to Pro bowl to talk to Richie or are we still sad he wasn't measuring hand sizes at the senior bowl? forgot about that honestly Yolo, nice memory!
26CornerBlitz Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 @buffalobills "I love the environment. My teammates. I’m excited about where we’re headed. We’re ready to take the next step."
Billsmovinup Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Very good. Finally got our guard position straightened out. Would have sucked to see him walk.
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 if he can get extensions for Glenn and Gilmore done and nail the draft... And Maybe a "dust settles" LB or NT... I'm a very happy camper Pretty much my hope. Even if we don't sign anyone else, what do we need that isn't doable in the first few rounds of the draft? At this point, a guy to replace Bradham (who won't be missed), maybe a new DL (if you don't want to rotate in Brandt as a 5 tech) and maybe a OT to challenge Henderson? #2 WR and depth picks are probably doable in the late rounds.
eball Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Now are we OK with Rex going to Pro bowl to talk to Richie or are we still sad he wasn't measuring hand sizes at the senior bowl? Wow, do those complaints look even more silly now than they did at the time, particularly in light of the fact Richie called Rex out as a primary reason he stayed.
3rdand12 Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 So did Hughes... And said he wouldn't. @mikerodak Richie Incognito: "We definitely took a discount to stay in Buffalo. ... I owed it to them." thats just awesome. for the folks that questioned his character I hope they can take another look now.
jletha Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 I remember when a Bills player's contract was up that usually meant goodbye So nice knowing thats not the case anymore CBF Its been years since we let a talented player just walk besides Byrd which has worked out well for us. Can we fire Whaley already?
Beerball Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 @rapsheet The #Bills deal for G Richie Incognito is 3 years worth roughly $15M, source said. So, $5M per year. Not bad. If so color me happy.
Doc Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Wow, far less than I thought it would take to re-sign him. Especially considering the mad money given to Osmele and purportedly to Boone. Good job Bills/Whaley, and Ritchie for taking less than he could have gotten on the open market.
26CornerBlitz Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 The antithesis of the Mario Williams attitude! @MatthewFairburn Richie Incognito said he took a discount to stay in Buffalo: "I felt I owed it to them."
The Poojer Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 neither side owed the other side anything, but well played on both sides. this is awesome! The antithesis of the Mario Williams attitude! @MatthewFairburn Richie Incognito said he took a discount to stay in Buffalo: "I felt I owed it to them."
nucci Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 I think it's great he re-signed but could he have really gotten much more than this?
eball Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 I think it's great he re-signed but could he have really gotten much more than this? Yes.
