I don't get it Some refuse to acknowledge restructure. Yes that’s what previous posts of Tre White and Diggs could free up $6M apiece means. An across the board refusal to acknowledge the fact that restructures can create cap space. I’m a flat earther, you got me. But also, Beane has said in the after the season presser that he doesn’t want to kick money down the road forever. Quote

The ones that post statements like, "if this is all we are going to do it's a fail"....or "how can we afford to sign ____player" Stuff like that makes it seem that way. I mean obviously they are restructuring freeing up money to sign players. Edited March 14, 2023 by Patrick Duffy 1 Quote

The whole reason he fell to 32 is because he didn't have an agent working the combine and talking to GMS. He's missed out on countless endorsements and can't get a long term deal. Not having an agent is a bad decision, and QB's need to be good decision makers. 1 1 Quote

Not having an agent is a bad decision, and QB's need to be good decision makers. But do you really? I sign and write Multi Billion Dollar contracts. No Agent. The agent helps grind and maximize if you are a middle tier player. IMO NO ROOKIE should have an agent at this point (slotted contracts) and Top Tier players can easily do this without one and save a % Edited March 14, 2023 by MAJBobby 1 Quote

He is really dumb for this reason...no matter how "good" negotiations go, it sets up "bad blood" between the player and franchise because the player says "I think I am worth this" and then has to hear all the reasons(some of which may be true that he doesn't want to hear) about why the team thinks he isn't and is only worth this amount. Those are things he may "hear second hand" from his agent but he wouldn't be present for the conversations and the depths and details that would be presented so he would mostly stay immune to that. There is a high probability this deal isn't getting done for this reason mainly. Edited March 14, 2023 by Big Turk 1 Quote
Draconator Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 What I would love is for the Jets to finalize the trade for Rodgers, and Nameth doesn't allow Aaron to wear #12. I bet Aaron would have to go into a dark retreat for 3 days to figure out what number to wear. 1 1 Quote
Logic Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 I just hope Aaron can find a trustworthy Ayahausca dealer in New Jersey. 1 Quote

I mean obviously they are restructuring freeing up money to sign players. Never said the first one you just typed out, the ____ fail. I’m just saying, not good or bad, that based on cap space, I don’t think the Bills can do much. Beane has said as much. Maybe if they dipped into Diggs, White or traded Oliver. If they could get a Slayton or Zachheaus, and maybe a Safety, that’d be a good haul to me. Quote

Right and it doesn't become personal where you have to physically negotiate the contract vs going through your agent Quote

Hockey and baseball players talk about the ego hit that they take in arbitration hearings all the time. Quote
