And with attendance and ratings dropping and fewer kids playing the game, the teams need all the feel good marketing they can get. Expand It's great for marketing, but unless the player fits your team or is some can't miss prospect it should be the last thing you use to make your choice.
The Wiz Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 Having deers in your backyard is apparently a plus.
SinceThe70s Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 I think its more of a factor for established players later in their careers. Lechler (yeah I know, a punter) did it after years with Oakland and Marshawn did it coming back to his home town after semi-retirement. I think a player coming off his rookie contract is looking for the dollars first and home town second.
Nick the Greek Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 What did Jerry Hughes say when asked about giving the Bills a "hometown discount"? Yep, there's your answer. But seriously, take the best guys out there, not local guys. The best players are all from Florida or California. We'd get destroyed putting the WNY all stars out there.
jr1 Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 draft the best player that plays the positions you're weakest at

Expand And then of course, Hughes gave the Bills a hometown discount. He didn't go to FA, signed here and surely would have made more money on open market.
