26CornerBlitz Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) @BuffRumblings #Bills still working on Glenn, Gilmore extensions with lots of zeroes at the end http://www.buffalorumblings.com/bills-news-notes/2016/3/31/11336906/cordy-glenn-stephon-gilmore-contract-extensions-free-agency The Buffalo Bills are still attempting to get Stephon Gilmore and Cordy Glenn under long-term contracts before the season starts. Both young stars are heading into the final year of their contracts with very large cap numbers. Vic Carucci of The Buffalo News reports he has "heard that the Bills view getting a long-term deal with Glenn as being more urgent in order to spread his dollars over a longer span."

John from Riverside Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 With freed up money from this......does Percy Harvin come back? (ducks into bush)
The Big Cat Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Good to hear. Just a nit: You should have posted to the guy actually doing the reporting (Vic). Sorry. I'm principally opposed to Buffalo Rumblings "reports."
papazoid Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 With freed up money from this......does Percy Harvin come back? (ducks into bush) hopefully freed up money goes to TT
John from Riverside Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 hopefully freed up money goes to TT Not till next year I hope Lets not do a Fitzpatrick repeat here
26CornerBlitz Posted March 31, 2016 Author Posted March 31, 2016 Good to hear. Just a nit: You should have posted to the guy actually doing the reporting (Vic). Sorry. I'm principally opposed to Buffalo Rumblings "reports." I understand your point, but the Carucci article is linked. At any rate, here's to the Bills getting both deals done.
papazoid Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Not till next year I hope Lets not do a Fitzpatrick repeat here not me...i'm all in on TT......he threw the ball 380 times last year....i've seen enough. 4 years / $60 mil and i'm drafting a QB in the 1st or 2nd round.
BuffaloBill Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Getting both of these deals done is important to the TT situation as they likely will have to tag him next year. At a minimum they will want that tag in their hip pocket. It would be a blooming disaster to have TT play well then have all three of them available on the FA market.

Get these guys under contract, create cap room for any late FA moves they may want to make, and have the cap room available if they're unable to reach a deal with Taylor before the start of the 2017 league year.
TC in St. Louis Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 This is how we go forward. Right now Glenn's cap hit is nearly 14 million....franchise tag. Sign him to a 5 year 70 million including a $20 million signing bonus....first year salary of $1.4 million, cap hit is 6.4. Savings over 7 million. Do a similar deal with Gilmour, and you'll be in great shape. Trade down a couple times for an extra couple picks, draft well and conquer. We had to get rid of lazy bones Mario Williams. Nigel is a hitter who can't really cover, so we signed that guy from Tennessee. We lost Baccari Rambo, but picked up some others. I like what they're doing. Urbik? No loss there. Hogan will hurt us both from the loss and from New England's gain. Fun times ahead.
John from Riverside Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 I will feel a lot better about the situation when they are under contract...... I just get this feeling Gilmore is asking for stupid money......
Saxum Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 Neither player's agent seems to understand that the current situation will favor neither player or are looking at their own interests first; players on winning teams will generally get more than on losing teams. Signing a contract with commitment by team to spend on upgrading the offense and defense will help both players look better. Such players have better chance of endorsements. But the agents will encourage players to wait as long as possible to get highest possible commission since there is no guarantee that the agents will not be replaced later in player's career. Players should be looking for what some home buyers look for - a different type of agent which is paid for advice, paperwork, etc but is getting paid fee or lower commission; it works well in some housing markets although there are some housing developer who will not deal with Buyer's agents.
Manther Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 I will feel a lot better about the situation when they are under contract...... I just get this feeling Gilmore is asking for stupid money...... Agreed and agreed
Jamie Nails Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 Everytime I log in, I'm hoping to see news on either. Let's go, dougie fresh.

8-8 Forever? Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 I will feel a lot better about the situation when they are under contract...... I just get this feeling Gilmore is asking for stupid money...... yes he is or will be. I don't see it happening. I really don't, especially if Darby continues to step up
26CornerBlitz Posted April 13, 2016 Author Posted April 13, 2016 Doug Gilmour wants to play for the Bills?
Nanker Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 Doug Gilmour wants to play for the Bills? I would like David Gilmour to play for the Bills.

If they get a good CB high, I wonder if they will count on that CB to step up next year, and let Gilmore walk.
