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."

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.

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.

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.

Yep.

 

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.

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.

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.

Other than when Bradham was rated the best cover linebacker by PFF his rookie year you mean?

I doubt they'll move on Gilmore until after the draft, depending on who they get. 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.
