Billsatlastin2018 Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 GREAT!👍 That’ll cement getting those 6 Division Ws as the floor to 12/13 and the first or second rank in the Conference, playing at home in the Playoffs.

Expand That is true, but that has nothing to do with the money. 8 million is pennies and doesn't hinder them getting another QB or any player the bills should not want them to get that is the point. And no team should want to see their backup QB. They were able to win 7 games with him, could of won a couple more so this isn't as bad as you want it to look like.

Expand So? As i said to NoHuddleKelly12. 8 mill is pennies (especially with other teams paying more for their backups) and doesn't stop them from adding more players. This is less to do about nothing while the free agency period has not even started yet., plus the draft and people are jumping and acting like the season will begin next week.

ALLEN1QB Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 It really must suck to be a patriot fan right now. I feel so sorry for them.....NOT!!!!! 1
BuffaloBills1998 Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 So did they resign him because they couldn’t find any viable options in FA that would be better than Newton or is it because majority of FA QBS turned down the option to sign with them? I’m thinking more the latter

Expand IMO, if you have to think real hard about something, it isnt common sense. Cam was quite terrible last year and paying that amount for a backup who cannot be relied on to win without an excellent team and coaching, just smells of desperation at best and bad roster management at worst. I understand that as a fan you want to feel good about it, but trust the guys on this board. We were on the other side for a decade and know how reality conflicts with fan dom.

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 If I was NE, I would have Fitz on speed dial.

Expand So who is thinking hard about this? Cam was terrible last year, but won them 7 games. In a league where QBs are starting to get north of 40 mill. and as i said before there are backup getting paid more, I am trying to see where 8 mill is financially hindering and who said I wanted Cam back? I fully understand what this move means. But *shrug shoulders* Edited March 12, 2021 by Ghost_002!

But that actually IS Adam Schefter so unless someone took over his account for multiple tweets, it's real. $14M for an "option" though? Expand Sounds like it’s highly incentive based. still, too much for slow and running QB whose arm is shot.
