This is not a good post. Eric Woods played very well this year and the contract was fair for both parties barring the injury which certainly nobody knew about. To accuse any medical staff of letting a player continue to play football with a life threatening issue is irresponsible. 

 

 

Yeah Hope they give other 30 plus players coming off IR a contract that guarantees his salary in year two of the two year extension for Injury. We will he SuperBowl winners in no time

I actually think its a good point.....that franchise qb would take up a lot more of your cap then Wood did here

Wood was a bottom tier center, but many here will never believe that. He became a figure who was almost like an on field mascot. His play did not warrant a contract extension. 

This in unequivocally not true.

How often to QBs get hit? How often do Centers?

 

risk reward which player coming off IR has more of a chance to get injured in the future?

We are not talking about 30 other players. We are talking about Eric Woods who played every snap in 2017.

I'm not going to argue that the Bills didn't/don't need an upgrade at center because I agree that they have needed that for a while.   I have been arguing since last summer that the interior of the Bills OL needs upgrading and/or better depth because of age and talent level not to mention how frequently OLers get hurt, as Glenn has shown. 

 

That Wood was never as good a center as Glenn was a left tackle doesn't mean he wasn't worth extending.   There may have not been any better options either on the team or available on the FA market.   His deal might very well be the going rate for a starting NFL center. 

 

My argument is simply that complaining that Wood's contract was "bad" because of his injury is nothing more than hindsight. 

I completely understand you point. I agree that calling it a bad contract after the injury is unfair, but I don’t think it’s unfair to criticize the extension based on his play. We have needed an upgrade at that position for a while. The contract made it seem as if that wasn’t part of the plan.

And in 2016 finished in IR that landed him a contract extension that guarantees 2018 salary for INJ. 

 

So lets give all players that are over 30 years old coming off IR extensions with big future INJ guarantees and tell me how that works out

Every player has a chance to be put on IR whether they were on IR before or not. That argument is terrible.

Wood was absolutely not a bottom tier center....that is bs

Fair enough, pardon my hyperbolic reaction. I’m confident in placing him as a middle of the pack center though. He’s just not at the level many see him as being. He had a few really good seasons, but there has been a decline.

Cool. He was coming off IR right?

 

so is it smart to give an aging OL that has snapped his leg twice now in his career and has been hurt others a contract extension that Guarantees his year 2 salary for INJ?

Because at his age and with his history.......you let his contract play out and go from there.   

 

Especially with a potentially solid replacement like Groy under contract for 2018.  

 

Wood is a nice guy but he was not missed one bit when he was out in 2016 so extending him the following summer was a head scratcher.    

 

Yup.  It was a very puzzling extension when it was done, made worse by Wood's unfortunate injury turn.

Stop perseverating on him coming off of IR. It was for a broken fibula. It’s a mostly non-weight-bearing bone of the leg. It’s not a big deal If it heals right, which obviously it did.

[MAJBobby]

Was he hurt and IR in 2016? Yes or No. very simple

 

and once you answer that is it smart to give a player gettinf over an INJ and has had INJ history big INJ Guarantees two years away from signing extension?

 

very simple questions
