Gugny Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 It's a far cry from saying that they won't trade the starting QB 8 days before the draft. I wish that cry was closer.
YoloinOhio Posted April 26, 2016 Author Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) Sounds a lot like negotations between Panthers and Norman. More on his agent: The new law firm cash cow: professional athletes? https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/capitalbusiness/the-new-law-firm-cash-cow-professional-athletes/2013/11/08/9aff0b70-47db-11e3-a196-3544a03c2351_story.html similar to Norman but the big difference is that Carolina placed a relatively low value on the CB position in its defense and decided not to pay more than 10-11 mill/yr to that position. QB is the highest value position on the team so in this case it will be more about the player and what they think he can do in the future vs any kind of line they would draw in the sand about what they will/won't pay for a QB.

I think the organization needs to see two things out of Tyrod to make their decision...an ability to extend drives (cut down the 3-and-outs) and an ability to take control of a game on his own. Those are things that can't be "schemed" by Roman.
PromoTheRobot Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 If Tyrod gets the Bills to the playoffs, $18MM/yr will seem like a deal. He'll want $20MM++.
YoloinOhio Posted April 26, 2016 Author Posted April 26, 2016 If Tyrod gets the Bills to the playoffs, $18MM/yr will seem like a deal. He'll want $20MM++.it seems like a deal now too - I thought it was good news that Osweiler's contract was starting point and not Aaron Rodgers contract. At least that is reasonable.
Maury Ballstein Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 Give him the 18 mil but take a mil away everytime he mimics Trenative. Fine him double for the second pats game.
BillnutinHouston Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 Possible pre-draft smokescreen designed to entice QB-needy team to give up a fortune to move to #19?
Peter Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) I have not read the 33 pages but this is my take: I like TT and hope he is our QB of the future. Nevertheless, TT's agent has not created any leverage whatsoever in the negotiations. TT's agent essentially wants the Bills to pay TT as if TT already has proven that he is entitled to be paid as an elite QB. In no way shape or form does that put the Bills at risk. No team is going to pay TT in free agency more than what his agent is demanding now before TT has shown he is worth that kind of money. The guy taking the risk is TT. He and his agent should seriously offer the Bill a deal that is attractive to the Bills now so that TT does not have to risk the ramifications of getting injured or not proving he is worth the $$$. TT can guaranty that he will be a millionaire the rest of his life. Do TT and his agent want to risk that? Just my two cents. Edited April 26, 2016 by Peter
3rdand12 Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 With any signs of regression this year they will be working on a Chase Daniels type of deal. heck they might be working on Chase Daniels !
