Not happening boys so take your record breaking deals and get back to practice. The highest paid players in the league all revolve around the passing game. -throwing the ball (QB) -catching the ball (WRs) -hitting the QB (pass rushers) -stopping the pass once it's thrown (CB/safeties) These are the 4 major positions where an truly elite player makes a massive impact on games, and also where the drop-off from "top5 elite" to "next tier" is very noticeable, which is why the top guys get$$$$$$ 1 hour ago, Doc Brown said: Von Miller got 6 years, 114 million with 70 million guaranteed before the 2016 season. Mack will probably get more than that due to inflation and putting up slightly better numbers in sacks and tackles the last three years (Mack -36.5 sacks and 228 tackles, Miller- 34.5 sacks and 170 tackles). You're pry looking around paying Mack 20 to 25 million dollars a year for 5 or 6 years if you want to invest that much money in a non QB. Now would be a good time to do it with Josh Allen on his rookie contract, but it's a pipe dream at this point. ^^^^^^

Nate Solder who I think is good not great (I'd certainly take a healthy Cordy Glenn over him for example) just signed a contract avg. $15.5m a year. 1

He wanted UB to give his younger brother a football scholarship. They balked but then gave in. LeDarius Mack will wear Khalil's #52 this year. Shameless plug time: UB plays E.Michigan 6pm the night before the Bills home opener. Perfect opportunity to check out a UB team loaded with NFL prospects including another Khalil on defense, Khalil Hodge. 2 hours ago, GunnerBill said: Can we just pump the breaks just a little..... Khalil Mack is a very fine football player. He was a stud at UB and he has been very good in the NFL. I do think though, and it may be the UB thing, that he is just a tad overrated by Bills fans. We have had people in this thread saying he is going to cost way more than Aaron Donald and that there is nobody as talented as Mack in next year's draft - when in fact it might be one of the most talented DLine drafts ever if everyone pans out this year. Khalil Mack is probably the best 3-4 outside linebacker in the NFL at the moment, but as yet I don't think he is a transcendent talent - which you might think reading this thread. I can't remember a more popular non Bill in the NFL the whole time I have been on these boards. I'd be very happy to see the Bills bring him to Buffalo - it would certainly free them up to go offense in the draft. I don't think it will happen and it would cost a chunk of the money we have to go FA shopping next year He was so overrated by Bills fans that few if any bothered to watch him play at UB.

VERY doubtful he ever comes here. Keep in mind, the FO four years ago and the FO now have literally nothing to do with one another.
DCOrange Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 What is Oakland's cap situation next year? Can they just franchise tag him?
DrDawkinstein Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 I have no doubt Mack would love to come to the Bills if they gave him a competitive offer. And as much as I liked Whaley, that 2014 1st Round was completely botched. I get hindsight is 20/20, but IF you had to trade up, it should have been Mack. Would love to see Mack in Buffalo.
whatdrought Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 I have no problem making Mack the highest paid non-QB next year. Fixing a 5 year old mistake. 1

However I would not be surprised if Gruden does not do that, similar to how the Bills moved on from Sammy under a new regime rather than pay him, especially if Mack’s agent throws a fit about the franchise tag and threatens not to play on it, like Von Miller did. Does not make sense on the surface but Gruden is a weird guy and he’s making all the decisions now, not the GM. Not only is he very “old school” but he is on record saying he thought the Raiders made a mistake drafting Mack that year (when he was in the media) Edited July 27, 2018 by YoloinOhio 2

Clearly, it was Mario and the #4 ranked defense’s fault we didn’t win in 2014. What a loser!!! and folks, it doesn’t matter if Mack wants to get out of Oakland and come to the Bills.

I'm not sure what standing next to him means, but whatever. Throw out a couple seasons he benefitted from trotting Dungy’s team out there, and playing a team he knew intimately in a SB, and he’s about a .500 coach with no rings....and he’s still a complete jerk. Yeah, it’s kind of personal. 1
