I remember this distinctly because it was the exact opposite of what his agent had said when he was a FA. To be fair to him it may have been a medical directive from the Bills and it may have had to do with the stage he was at in his injury recovery. 1

Because in agent speak this is a 1 year $5.5 million deal. Is Sanders 1 year fully guaranteed? Sanders is 1/6 with $6.5M upside through incentives Brown is 1/3.75 with $5.5M in upside through incentives The smaller # for is flat out guaranteed... they larger number is possible based on performance.

This off-season has been horrible and just cements that him winning Executive of the Year was a big time fluke. This regime is no better than previous regimes... they’re just INCREDIBLY lucky. ^^^ Something along these lines will likely be said You're a Bad Man (tm). 🦨 🙄😅 2 1

OK. I didn't see the Sanders details.

Brown is under-appreciated as a route runner. He can run beautiful routes. He did occasionally and for whatever reason take one off (I can think of a handful at key moments - Ravens last year, Browns last year, etc) 8 minutes ago, Sammy Watkins' Rib said: Bills should have utilized McKenzie more in the playoffs. He couldn't have performed worse than Brown.

I think you mean the smaller number is earned if he's on the roster and possibly guaranteed? 1

Jobot Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 26 minutes ago, SCBills said: He's an older speed guy coming off an injury plagued year... I don't think people should be shocked. I'd still rather have Sanders at his price tag. Love Brown, but he isn't what we need to beat a team like KC with their press man coverage. That's gotta be what they see in Sanders, right? He can beat the press coverage even if he's a bit banged up? I honestly wasn't thrilled to see that much money go to a 33 year old WR on the decline.
BuffaloRebound Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 I know it was only 1 game, but Brown was terrible in the Colts playoff game. Dropped passes, no separation, and basically bullied by the Colts DB’s. And he played about the same against KC. I don’t know much about Sanders but he seems to have much better hands in traffic and gets open. 1

Rc2catch Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 This was a bargain deal for Vegas. Brown has upside to be their #1 guy while Ruggs tries to raise his game. Smoke probably could of gotten more money but it’s a risk and possible he doesn’t get the same usage he’ll get for Vegas. Essentially he’s betting on himself to produce a good season for them and get more money next year. Let’s just be clear here, buffalo did not want him back. Not at any salary so the numbers don’t really matter compared to sanders. It was just time to part ways.

It just tells me they didn’t have the desire. At worst, they cut and resign lower. They didn’t have an interest. I thought before for cap reasons, but obviously not. Even if they did offer a pay cut I doubt he would take 1/2 of what he was going to earn. The other guys took haircuts of like 1-2 mill. His agent would have told him to hit the market regardless. I do think the WR FA market is saturated this year plus a strong WR draft and that hurt his value
machine gun kelly Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 On that I agree Yo Man. It’s over so no reason to be concerned. Just like in life. Done is done. Moving on. BTW to all especially my Irish friends. Happy St. Patty’s Day!

Wish him luck though. Also, Gruden loves him some ex-Bills! Agreed. My Brother in Law is a Raiders fan so we talk about our two teams often. He loves what the Bills are doing, specifically he is a big Josh Allen fan. I feel bad for him because when I look at the current Raiders roster, it really is a mess. I love that they signed Smoke, in his short time here he became on of my favorite Bills ever, but what they really needed was a bigger boundary wideout. Watching them reminds me so much of the old Bills teams. 1

I wouldn’t be betting that my value is gonna go up as a 32 year old speed Receiver, but maybe market will be better for wideouts next year.

If he gets 80 targets in Vegas opposed to say 45 in Green Bay he’ll have a much better chance at more money next year
Hebert19 Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 Good. Bills made the right move. He's a speed man that showed he's losing speed. He's a small guy that showed He's beat up and sanders is a more dependable guy at creating separation. Love John brown but this was the right move.
