NoSaint Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 This is an extremely unprofessional situation. A grievance should be filed for sure. I doubt much comes from it unless it's found intentional (and even then probably not much)
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 ... what the hell? How does a deal get filed with the NFLPA if there isn't one? Whaley forged his signature, he knows no FA WR wants to play for a bottom dwelling passing attack that is also a run 1st offense.
rowisu80 Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 He's no Bryant Johnson. hahahaha the one that got away.....
Thurman#1 Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) Clueless on how this entire process works. Never ceases to amaze me on here, thank you. He's correct that signing UFAs at this point in the process absolutely does lower your chances of comp picks, it really does. We won't know how the count turns out till a few months pass, but every compensatory FA raises the count that they will subtract from however many compensatory FAs we lose. So this could, for example, lower our FA haul from three to two, or from one to zero, depending on how the counts turn out. Edited March 15, 2017 by Thurman#1
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 Weasels aren't rodents =/ Russ Brandon = Weasel Mike Rodak = Rodents
BobbyC81 Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 Very underrated player, betting signing that Hunter. Good on Whaley for this pickup He has inconsistent hands. Will make a great play, then follow up dropping an easy one.
boyst Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 lol talk about running deep. you weren't here when he first started with espn. my god his articles and takes were that of just pure idiocracy
Thurman#1 Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) How are the Bills loosing something they didn't have to begin with. It's sad, I come on here to get news on the Bills and I end up seeing garbag replies like this. People seem to use this "how can you lose something you never had" as an argument as if it made sense. It doesn't. Losing something is being deprived of the thing or the use of the thing. If you were going to have the use of a thing and now you don't, you've lost something. You've lost a chance, in the future or present. Another meaning is "to fail to use, or to let slip by," as in wasting a chance. Doing something which deprives you of a comp pick is absolutely choosing to lose a comp pick you might otherwise have gotten. Sorry to get off-track. Bizarre situation. They ought to get something in return from the league, but likely the most they would get is an apology. Edited March 15, 2017 by Thurman#1
NewEra Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 Really hope we can make this happen. He's not a stud by any means but I think he'd be a not to shabby 3rd and wouldn't be a bad 2nd if someone was to get hurt. We could do better obviously, but that's a decent price
gr8billsfan Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 nflpa error Bills should file a complaint and demand a draft pick in return Hmmm..sounds intriguing... Screw a comp pick. Demand a playoff berth. AH HAH! Now we're talking.
K-9 Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 Doesn't matter that every other team knows what our offer is, every other team Holmes talks to would know what our offer is, anyway.
Paup 1995MVP Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 So what if the NFLPA leaked the offer by mistake or otherwise? The problem isn't the NFLPA. The problem is that Holmes hasn't agreed to the contract. Maybe he wants more money, and was never planning on agreeing to 3 yrs 4.5 million. If the Bills want him bad enuf, they will up the ante to a number that he can't refuse. We have plenty of money under the salary cap. We need a tall receiver. Holmes has some game. So lets get it done Dougie. Very odd how much we paid for guys like Dimarco and Houshka. Ones a good FB. But a FB nonetheless. And one is a kicker that is probably better then Carpenter, but not a whole lot better (at least in terms of kicking extra points). And we still have lots of holes including WR, CB, and RT. We seem to overpay for positions that are not that important, by most teams standards. But at positions of greater importance and need, we tend to lose out on players more often then not. We seem to do things backwards from a lot of teams. We are not always wrong. And the other teams are not always right. However, not making the playoffs for 17 years is a bad look.
YoloinOhio Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 Doesn't matter that every other team knows what our offer is, every other team Holmes talks to would know what our offer is, anyway. i was wondering this too- doesn't his agent tell them his other offers?
Maury Ballstein Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 Really hope we can make this happen. He's not a stud by any means but I think he'd be a not to shabby 3rd and wouldn't be a bad 2nd if someone was to get hurt. We could do better obviously, but that's a decent price Agree i want him. He's better than Hunter and Glass for sure

Wayne Cubed Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) He's correct that signing UFAs at this point in the process absolutely does lower your chances of comp picks, it really does. Actually that's not true, at all. No one actually knows which players count and which don't. Look no further than the 2016 comp picks Buffalo recieved. The official NFL comms release says for the purpose of comp picks in 2015 the Bills lost these players: Searcy Pears Spiller Lee Smith The Bills gained via FA: Tyrod Taylor As I'm sure you know, Taylor wasn't the only FA they signed. They also signed Felton, Harvin, Carrington, Connor and Simms. All UFAs. Technically they signed Incognito as well and he was an UFA too but I'm sure him being out of the NFL can't count as a loss against a team. And yet, the Bills got 2 comp picks.

End The Drought Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 How many free agents do we have?? And people are really complaining about comp picks?? The logic makes no sense
