The guy has potential. i agree fans got overly excited about his play but it wasn’t bad either. Interestingly, the guy who signed Seantrel (the new GM of the Texans whose name escapes me) was with in the Bills front office last year (if I recall correctly). If my memory is correct, he has ample knowledge of Seantrel, his health, his ability, and where he is in his career.

I would have let him have his bonus if only to keep him away from the Cheatriots for another year. It’s petty, I know. But like Boldin, he’s basically declared his intention to sign with them. And the way he did it was public and insulting.

They would have been forced to have him around the team with a bad attitude which they clearly wanted no part of. Sayonara.

That is the way Eugene Parker, currently in hell, manipulated the Bills. stop that. that's horribly insensitive comment referring to a person who was highly respected in his field and did a fine job in representing his clients and protecting their rights. you might not like some of the ramifications of what happened, but if I had a son playing in the NFL, Parker would have been the agent I would want representing him. there were few more responsible or better. jw 4 1
nedboy7 Posted May 21, 2018 Posted May 21, 2018 Well at least we are rebuilding. No one expects to win anymore. ?
ColoradoBills Posted May 21, 2018 Posted May 21, 2018 18 minutes ago, Peter said: To me, yes. He was on the team last year. We will see how he plays for the Texans. To say he "needed weed" is a tad of an oversimplification. Interesting thing about Seantrel. He signed a 1 year 4 million dollar contract with Houston. He would be the highest paid OL on the team if he signed that with the Bill's. When Wood's money comes off the books the Bill's have the cheapest OL in the NFL. I sure hope they outplay their salaries!
auburnbillsbacker Posted May 21, 2018 Posted May 21, 2018 I can't believe the comments on here. It is possible that he was our best player the last two seasons. There is no reason he shouldn't be a Bill right now. They should have honoured his contract. Now Allen is missing 3 really good lineman who were on the team last year. 1

Sayonara. I wonder what kind of mood our best player (the one who desperately wanted him to stay on the team and was willing to give up 300k of his own money) will be in after all of this. There had to be a way to manage this better. The guy was an all pro on merit last year. I know many here love the "addition by subtraction" line, but, after a while, all of these subtractions end up being subtractions. Our offensive line is probably our weakest unit . . . and some want to start a rookie QB who needs time (literally and figuratively) to develop. As I mentioned before I feel sorry for all of our QBs and RBs. 1

I'm sure he would have loved it, but it's simply not his call. He''s been in Buffalo getting ready for the season with his teammates. Bye Richie!

You expect to get max play out of a guy that cant decide...literally minute to minute....on whether or not he wants to retire? I dont want a player like that protecting Josh Allen Because many fans prefer winning over character.

Players always wanted that...they were not happy when Tyrod left either. Sometimes change has to happen to move forward. Im not even saying that Groy is gonna be better then Cog....I honestly cant predict that. I know that players get old.....and when that happens their contracts get looked at.....and then teams replace them and they move on. it is happening in this situation.

Let's ask him how he feels about this again when he is running for his life behind the current line.
