And that's why it doesn't make sense to me. They aren't going to get him at a reasonable price. That's just a fact.
Bag of Milk Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 (edited) If Gaines resigns, he won't be the first player who tested the market,came to a "tentative" agreement with another team, then decides to stay put. Why stay in Buffalo? 1.He was hand picked by GM Brandon Beane in the high profile Sammy Watkins. trade. Though, unknown by most Bills fans, he turned out to be a perfect in the Bills defense. Beane knew and thus, has strong belief in him. 2. He is rumored to be signing with the Bucs, Dirk Koetter the Bucs head coach IMHO is one the most likely head coaches to be fired next year.What defense will the Bucs be running once he is canned? Will it be suitable for Gaines skillset? Will the new regime that takes takeover consider EJ to be one of their guys? 3. It certainly appears that Beane and McDermott are at the beginning of building something special,leaving a few dollars on the table my be in his interest long term. That being said, as all these contracts do, it comes down to the guaranteed money, if the offers are at least in a similar ballpark, I could see him staying. Edited March 11, 2018 by Bag of Milk

I always wonder how much athletes should consider their landing spot and fit as much as they should. For example, if you are playing at a high level become the player's skill matches the team's scheme and the player excels........will that help them maximize their current contract and help them get a good contract after. I don't think agents care as much as they are in a pay now business FOR THEMSELVES.

Neither he nor Vontae Davis would sign up to be the third outside Corner off the bench or the Nickel. And paying either guy what it would take to get them just to have depth is a waste of resources that should be allocated elsewhere IMO. "E.J.'s flexible, too," Beane said. "He can play inside at nickel. ... Vontae's not really an inside guy. E.J. will see his value here, and we'll talk, but it definitely does not close the door either way in my mind. I can't speak for E.J." http://buffalonews.com/2018/02/28/brandon-beane-says-vontae-davis-signing-doesnt-preclude-bills-from-bringing-ej-gaines-back/ I can't find it right now but I'm positive I saw something from McDermott saying Davis would start out on the outside and they would take it from there.

IMO I don’t think he gets top 10 CB money , not even because of injury concerns but is he really a top 10 CB ? I just don’t see anyone paying him $12 plus million a year , I sure as hell hope we don’t

The issue being that odds are someone pays him more for a bigger role. I don’t think there’s hard feelings- just unlikely to make sense 1

I don’t think there’s hard feelings- just unlikely to make sense I don't see it that way at all. I see a guy that has had 2 years of injury concerns. He has played well, but it's a really really deep CB market this year in FA. It may be better for him long term to take a little less and stay here...a system he knows already and knows he can perform well in to rehab his value. It really wouldn't shock me to see him get about the same deal Davis got. 1
