billsfan89 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 The Bills will defer any Tre extension until next off-season, I think he will get his but given they have the 5th year option they get to delay the inevitable cap hit. They need to focus on resigning Dawkins and Milano. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no way Tre’s agent wants him signing anything anytime soon. His value will never be lower than it is today. The longer he waits, the more his price tag rises as other CBs set market. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilzfancy Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I'd sign him to a LTD after the draft, waiting till next season will only add many millions to the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can want to sign him, but can’t make him sign it. He’s the one that will want to wait. Not the Bills. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will spread the cap hit out. Wait, isn't that what a smart team would do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annual salary is one thing, but guaranteed money is what these players really care about. Throw him a 5 year, $85 mil extension with $46 mil guaranteed and I think he'd sign. He'd set his family up for life, and if he gets injured and blows out a knee and never returns to form he'll have protected himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Murray Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 To the back and forth on is he risking injury or not, does he want to sign immediately or not... Im sure he has injury insurance, as all big starts do, especially coming up on contracts. he personally is probably mostly indifferent with a slight bias to signing extension earlier for the future certainty of what his life looks like. Other than that hes probably hiding from coronavirus, working out, and looking forward to getting out and playing football like the rest of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
