In the highly unlikely event that they were to trade Dawkins I think that might indicate that Terry is worried about the cost over-runs that are going to come out of his pocket on the big hole across the street.

 

Sabres fans are perplexed about why Pegula didn't weaponize his cap space to add draft capital in recent years and Terry recently issued a statement promoting "a new roof" on the arena as a sales pitch for the product.:lol:   All parts of Pegula Sports aren't spending like the Bills side has in recent years to indulge Beane's wants and perceived needs.

Really think it would be best if he sold the Sabres, although i could see some dangers in that as well.

Geez, when I left two hours ago, we were talking Dawkins and millennials.  Now it’s pubes and party lines. 
 

WTF?

I was born in 1973, so I lived a life as a kid growing up with antenna TV, no video game consoles and no VCR until 1985, so no MTV. We had 8 tracks and vinyl albums. Growing up during the late 70s is vastly different than being born in the late 70s :P

That doesn’t sound so good.

Was this in wny? Or rural eastern oh?

 

I swear a few places of eastern Ohio through the pennsyltucky corridor are still in the 70's.  That's mostly south Ohio, it stops up toward Canton, stow, twinsburg, kent which to me is eastern Ohio.... I guess stuebenville and south it gets awful different.

No, it was in the suburbs right outside of Charlotte, NC... not really rural. In those days you either had a huge dish or rabbit ears. There was no cable service to our house available until the late 80s.

but the thought of Buffalo being his long-term home is depressing to him?

He's not on the Sabres.

it was great.  We read books and played sports outside with the neighborhood kids.  We even learned to talk to other people.

???Cmon, think it through. 
 

Pegula has a personal net worth of $5-10 billion, and the Bills are probably worth $3 billion. 
 

And Bills have spent up to the cap the past 5 years while chasing Bills first ever Super Bowl win.
 

So with a team this close he’s going to discard one of the key players for a few million, that would then be spent on a different player anyway?

 

Really?

 

Yeah, Bills may trade or extend Dawkins. 
 

But that would have nothing whatsoever to do with the stadium cost.

If only you'd have hung on to that land to sell today. Land anywhere outside of CLT is insane. 

 

Friend of mine has family land across from Concord mills. It was his grand dad's farm. Sold 400+ acres of it when he was in high school. Bought twice as much land and kept a ton of money.

Not sure what all the confusion is, seems pretty clear there is an extension in bound, and was mostly expected to be part of the plan to get under the cap.  

 

 

That's all this is. His extension is imminent.  He's happy yet used the wrong imogi. Nothing to see here folks.

What really matters is if he is wearing a shirt or not…,

...Extend. You can only fill so many holes at once. We've got enough roster holes already. Too many more holes and the roster will sink.

probably not agreeing on terms at the moment is my read.

 

So Dawkins is currently 15th in AAV at $14.575M.  Next year is his last on his current deal.  What do people see for his extension, years, guaranteed and AAV?  I think his agent will be looking to get him to top 5 given his string of Pro Bowl's, that would put him around $20M AAV.    Unless he is willing to sign for something closer to where he is now, I am not doing a new deal with him but he is tough, he has missed one game in 7 years but you dont pay for the past, you pay for the future.  What are people willing to sign up for?   I think I would let this year play out unless he was willing to take less than he is reasonably able to demand.

Newsflash: he’s Josh Allen’s blind side protector. Messing around with that is detrimental to the history of the team.

Looks like an extension. You don’t see starting LT’s cut or traded
