Who else is in the let’s get Gabe Davis signed to an extension camp?

[EmotionallyUnstable]

He’d be a great #3 option. We need another real playmaker. 
 

The only way I say Gabe comes back on a second contract is because Kincaid pans out to be a true stud and receiving threat, and Gabe takes a smaller deal

If Kincaid pans out as a true stud already this year, I see that lessening the chances of the Bills signing Gabe.  Davis won’t and shouldn’t take a smaller deal just because someone else is really good.

Dude sux, let him walk next year

May your 40th post be better

here’s where I see the challenge… you are likely expecting him to lock in a bit cheaper now.

 

I do not forecast him to be remotely affordable today.
 

what numbers are you envisioning, John?

That is a very good question. The answer is I don’t know. I just assumed that it would be cheaper now then if we waited till the end of the year.
 

The truth is, we don’t know how the bills feel about him. I’ve got the sneaky suspicion that the bills love him.

 

But they love Tremaine Edmunds to

I'm a Davis fan but you can't pay everyone. 

He's nowhere close to a top 15 WR but some team will pay him that. His agent would be foolish to take a lesser deal.

Win a SuperBowl, let him walk, get a comp pick.

Draft OT, safety, WR next year.

I would guess he's closer to getting traded than an extension

Doesn't benefit them to do it now.

 

Sure it does. The benefit is you save money if he has a monster year.

 

If you wait until after that happens, he's going to command a lot more money than had you signed him now. 

 

So sure, you can say "wait & see," but just know that at the point you do see it, it's already too late.

I'd rather lose Gabe if he has a 1 great year after several less than great years than overpay him and be saddled with an overpaid less than great player.

I love what I'm hearing about him at training camp, but let's wait and see if he can keep over a 60% catch percentage through the first 5 games or so before we think about extending him. Even then I might be inclined to let him walk next year. We're going to be tight against the cap for the next few years so we need to reserve our big money contracts for true proven difference makers. If Kincaid makes a big impact from day one, that lessens the need to pay a WR2 big money. So let's just wait and see where it goes from here.

Davis has been hyped up for several years now. 

 

After last season, I have to see Davis perform at a higher level as the WR2. 

 

I am not particularly encouraged by the TC hype. 

Newcam,  on this point we agree.  Sure he had a an ankle issue last year and maybe that inhibited his success last year.  But I’d want to see it at least for the first 8 games and maybe do an in season contract if he turned finally into a 1100 yard receiver.

Overpaying Davis now, on a cap-strapped roster, in case he has a good season is inane.

Ask people around here and the answer is no way. He could have an All Pro season and a large portion of the fans of this board would want him to walk.

 

 

Yeah because it's the fans fault that he dropped the second most passes in the league,  had the lowest catch rate of any highly target player in the NFL, an abysmal 80 passer rating when thrown to and has had recurring foot problems for all 3 years of his career.  

 

The reasons why he is polarizing are entirely justified by what's taken place on the field.

 

Pretending like it's an exaggeration to say he's been inconsistent/disappointing and that it wouldn't even matter if he played at an All-Pro level because fans are just picking on him is idiotic.

 I don't get the sense it's all about money with Gabr.  I think he'll want to stay here and will take a team friendly deal that still gives him a nice pay bump though not as much as some teams will offer him.  

[billsfan89]

I would be all for an extension if the price is right but it just likely won’t happen, the Bills are not gonna commit high WR2 low end WR1 money to Gabe and I doubt Gabe who with a good season can get big money is going to take a discount to stay.

  Agree and I think he will have a great year with Allen and all the weapons we have.  I think he is well aware that Josh makes it look easy and that many wr will do well catching passes from Allen.  I think he will opt to stay and the Bills will offer him a fair raise.

[Solomon Grundy]

I'd rather talk what will it take to get Marvin Harrison Jr😎

[Saxum]

Tag if he has a good year and let him and his agent know they plan on tagging him ahead of time.

Let his agent tell Bills what they would consider for an extension this year.

 

There is not space for a high priced QB and TE and WR for a very high priced WR2

The franchise tag for him next year would be about 20 million, if not higher. There is no way the bills will risk tagging him, as Gabe would hold all the leverage when working on an extension

I would too. I'm just saying that there actually is a benefit to extending him now.

[JerseyBills]

I'm definitely in that camp unless he shows no improvement,  which I doubt

 

Hopefully lock him in for a good contract to pair w Diggs for 3+ years

[Airseven]

No pending UFAs are worth extending at this point. The priority may become DaQuan Jones. And here’s hoping Rapp earns his keep.
