papazoid Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 i doubt beane signs/invests in a high priced WR will always be looking for value....especially at WR 1
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) sign him in a way you can extend or cut after this season. Whatever you guarantee make it come off of the 2019 books if you cut ties due to another injury or him not performing. More Sammy Watkins $ talk. Yup, he got Paid, but has he produced at the lever of his paycheck? (and yeah, I can lay blame on the QB passing the ball in 21016, but not 2017). 1 hour ago, keepthefaith said: How on earth did Sammy get $16 million a year? stupidity if you ask me Edited April 16, 2018 by ShadyBillsFan
schoolhouserock Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 Get a QB and the number of available serviceable WR problem will solve itself! ...so I guess I am in the let him test FA camp.
SoCal Deek Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 These sorts of discussions/negotiations would make me turn to drinking if I was an NFL GM. Benjamin did close to nothing as a Buffalo Bill last year, and then got seriously injured when the team needed him most. This doesn't make him a bad person, but I would love to see a player who comes in and says "give me another chance to prove myself, and then I'll be back asking to get paid".
{::'KayCeeS::} Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 Why would pay him now with his history of knee injuries? If he can play this upcoming full season and put up 1000+, then maybe you entertain it. Nothing worse than long-term saddling yourself to a player who can't stay on the field. Gotta wait and see on this one.
Big Turk Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 They dont need to do anything he is under contract.
Fadingpain Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 Meh...he's not good enough of a player to get too excited about one way or the other.
Billsfansinceday1 Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 I would like to see how he performs before considering a big time contract. I liked what I saw last year but the injury clouded the picture a bit. Benjamin certainly showed ability and willingness to play through the pain but it hindered his success...as did the QB throwing to him.
CaptnCoke11 Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 What has he done to deserve a big contract from any team? He’s been decent but nothing special.
formerlyofCtown Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 Let's wait and see what he does this season.
GunnerBill Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 He is basically playing for his NFL future this season. If Benjamin has a big year he will get a #1 WR contract here or elsewhere. If he doesn't he will be cast as no more than a #2 possession guy for the remainder of his time in the league and be paid accordingly. If I am the Bills I am letting it play out and taking a decision on whether to pay him in January and February next year.

Doc Brown Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) We can always franchise tag him given we'll have more cap space in 2019. Give me two years to prove you're worth the money. Edited April 17, 2018 by Doc Brown 1
