Dung has posted so much dung he’s repeating himself and does not remember it.   

 

You asked for a truce yet you continue on.  

 

 

There are more sand boxes on this site but in this sand box we don’t throw sand any more.

Getting back to football.   I know this is obvious but this is significant to our future. Again, I know this is obvious but it is significant.  Following the season,  our number one priority is to sign Kelvin Benjamin to a long term contract.  I quote you, “it is essential we get this deal done”. We don’t want to pick up Fifth year option or have to franchise him.  We need his signature on a long term  deal to be able to implement our long term plan.  Again, I know this is obvious but I find it interesting how important getting him signed ASAP 

Hey DD

 

the Panthers picked up Benjamin's 5th year option...

 

He is under contract with the Bills through 2018 already , we don't have to Franchise him.

 

we can sign him long term but he's here for 2018 already

I know. Long term. He is signed until 2018. I think it calls for 8.5 million.  We don’t want to have to worry about franchising him after next year.  We consider him a number one receiver and want to lock him down now so we can build around.  One less worry.

I think it is cost

I don’t speak for terry. I am sure he doesn’t need investors.  He is not in our group.  I do know former bills have bought land to build new restaurant 

 

....so how does your group build a stadium complex without an iron clad lease deal in place before putting a shovel in the ground?......

I love the fact the new field will natural turf.  Not sure if you heard our current stadium will be natural turf next year.  Getting us prepared to play on our new field. More and more dots are being connected

Okay.  Then a lot of prominent people will be losing money then

 

Won't be the first time......

Ok, so why is signing him long term a priority at this very moment if he's already locked in through 2018? This is something that doesn't warrant immediate attention. They can handle this, if they feel the need, at ANY point in the offseason. Another clump that doesn't seem wet enough to stick to the wall.

pretty sure he said gaines would not play if the game was played a couple days ago

That is correct

So he magically got better and was full participant the last two days...if was that bad he would have been limited one or both days since.

No. 

 

You said the Bills don't want to pick up his fifth year option.

 

its already picked up

I know. If we sign him to a long term contract the fifth year away goes away, replaced with a signing bonus that will lower the cap space for next year.  We want to lower the 8.5 million dollar hit. That’s what I meant about not wanting to pick up,the fifth year option. It would go away. We want more space to sign free agents. Did not explain it in the detail required I thought you would understand how that works and the benefits of taking the signing bonus over the length of the contract

If they can work out a longer term deal they can lower his 2018 cap hit I think. Right now it's like $8.5M.

Well i do know how it works and I explained it thoroughly.

 

you are just vague

 

of course the Bills can re work his deal... but beane explicitly said the panthers picking up the 5th year option WAS A KEY REASON they made the trade

 

beane says and I quote " we probably don't make the move if he's not under contract for next year"

I said if the game was palyed today, he would not play.  If you are going to post, please make sure it is accurate

Why don't you try apologizing to Mead for bad mouthing him rather than JaCrispy.
