CommonCents Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 We won't...assuming we get a deal done with Gilmore and Glenn, we won't have another key FA hitting the market, so he can be tagged. I think that is optimistic that we get both of those deals done, but I'm with you on that. Know what seems not to favor parity? Some of these teams playing in states that have no state income tax. The higher the cap goes the more of a factor that becomes I would think.
hmsmystic Posted March 9, 2016 Author Posted March 9, 2016 It seems like so many Bills' fans 1st reaction to a player who becomes good is "trade him". Personally I want no part of trading him- love the dual threat action, his 8-6 record in the first year, his deep ball and his quick grasp of the offense. Just throwing out ideas for discussion In all seriousness, seeing the money that's getting thrown around right now makes me admire teams like Baltimore, GB, etc. that don't spend wildly in the early throes of FA. Totally agree- just saw a chart of the top 10 teams that spent the most money in FA the last 10 years- and it's not a good group. (Hint- the Dolphins lead it and the Browns are on the list)
billsfan89 Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Let him play out this year, cross that bridge when the team gets to it. QB's get overpaid that's the nature of the league. I like Tyrod but he needs to prove it over the course of another season. The Bills cap won't be a huge issue next season as a lot of guaranteed money due this year is off and so that makes for a lot of cutable players that can free up major space, along with possibly some significant dead money coming off the books as well.
gumby Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Longer you wait to sign him the more expensive it will become. If you're going to wait until next year the prices will only go up.
3rdand12 Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Longer you wait to sign him the more expensive it will become. If you're going to wait until next year the prices will only go up. He will get paid by someone if he is that good regardless. set aside the money now and by now i mean 2017 cap space
DrDawkinstein Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 It seems like so many Bills' fans 1st reaction to a player who becomes good is "trade him". We're not allowed to have nice things. Otherwise, what would we B word about?
K-9 Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 If TT is in a position to demand big money next off season, then we will have been coming off our best season in 16 years. And we will have a ton of room to give him his money. Bills are in a good position as long as TT decided to report to camp and continue to earn the investment. GO BILLS!!!
John from Riverside Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 I think we sign him in season if he shows improvement over this season But I really hate that they did that with Brock.....he is NOT worth that coin or anything close to it.
Maury Ballstein Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Tyrod's value will be determined after he plays well or sucks next season.

Maury Ballstein Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Thanks captain obvious. whats obvious ? You and his other fanboys wanna give him 80 mil so his feelings don't get hurt.
QuoteTheRaven83 Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 whats obvious ? You and his other fanboys wanna give him 80 mil so his feelings don't get hurt. Point out where I said that. Don't twist things around to make it seem like you have a point. lol
K-9 Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Tyrod's value will be determined after he plays well or sucks next season. I agree. Which is why I answered the question in the thread title the way I did earlier. This year's free agency salaries have far, far less to do with what TT will command vs. what he does on the field next season. GO BILLS!!!
Maury Ballstein Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Point out where I said that. Don't twist things around to make it seem like you have a point. lol I'm an elephant. I remember everything and have a huge trunk Your pro Tyrod meltdowns/attacks from months ago is still on record. I know you forgot them. It's okay. I'll help you. Have a good day.
Virgil Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 I try not to think about these things. It gives me the shittles

And they also are revered in some cultures that live among them. And for good reason. pick on Ryan but don't pick on elephants when you truly are out of your range.
