They certainly should.

 

And when they do......there goes the savings/cap maneuvering they gained being thrifty with Groy. :lol::doh:

 

There is a reason the Bills look like a clown show.......not tendering those two higher was unnecessary risk for potentially paltry savings.

You are making a huge assumption that if the Bills had a 2nd round tender, the Pats would have signed him to a contract. That is a huge leap of faith.

It makes sense to let him go and take the pick if you are rebuilding.

 

Bills also paying a bridge QB 30 million over 2 years with 8.5 dead cap if they release next year.

 

Bills have no plan. They are just doing random things.

Exactly...A fact also lost on Whaley as well...

 

Anyone who thinks TD Mike was not worth that 2nd Round tender money needs to find another sport to follow because football is not their thing... B-)

again, it's not really the money difference in the tenders for just this one year. They want to extend him, for multiple years.... The 2nd rd tender is a poor negotiating starting point for the team. His value is a 5th rd tender for those purposes. And if they want to get a draft pick as an option, they won't get any team offering one at a 2nd rd tender. This way they gave the option of either taking the pick or matching since they were going to extend him anyway. Otherwise they are stuck paying a 2nd rd tender and negotiating within it. They need to offer the RFA tender so early on, before FA even starts its best to have options.

Maybe I'm missing something...But I don't think anyone is assuming the Pats would give up 2nd Round Picks...That's the whole idea...You pay a little more to assure the player returns... B-)

It's really not surprising to see #BADOL all over this thread. After all, he thinks every RB on the roster is just as good as Shady anyway.

 

(here, I'll add a couple of :lol: :lol: and :doh: :doh: so you know it's not serious to me!)

 

 

Why you trollin' me? Kirby doesn't like it. Bandit doesn't like it. :flirt:

 

I laugh at the Bills mistakes because it's a game........the Bills are bad at it.....A clown show wouldn't be funny without some laughs. :thumbsup:

 

You do take this entirely too seriously eball.

But if you want to negotiate an extension he has a higher starting value.

To put it another way, do you want your backup RB having your team's 10th highest cap number? And, you need to give up a 5th rounder as well? Sounds like a coup from Whaley, to be honest.

What else do you do when you don't have an elite franchise QB? You tool around until you get lucky, if you ever get lucky.

 

That's all the NFL is these days, teams with elite QB's, everyone else is a joke waiting to get lucky in the draft.

thieves looking to keep us down! they smell the threat coming and want to neutralize it before we catch up to them by poaching all they can from us

That's what I was talkin' bout.

 

The Pats waited till the Bills thought for sure they had him cheap......now it's going to be hard for the Bills to swallow that deal.

 

But they should.

 

Well played by Pats.

Easy deal to swallow...

It's almost ultimate frisbee season.. European handball could be interesting too. Maybe I'll even sink to the low of watching golf. We're obviously out of our element in NFL fandom.

 

Cricket season started a couple weeks ago, might be a nice change of pace :)

Mmmm that's too logical. Please stop talking sense around here.

What are you talking about? :lol:

 

I said they should have tendered him higher so it would have been done and over. No way the Pats cough up a 2nd rounder for MG.

You don't sign a guy you need for one year with 8.5 million cap hit if he is released. Terrible contract. Most fans are looking at only cap hit year 1.
