That would be a lot of money the past couple of seasons going to Ridley, Kirk, and Davis. I'd have figured he'd want to go somewhere less crowded. Though if the options for top pay are Jacksonville and New England - can't say I blame him. I will say that when it comes to the unknown, unnamed "dark horse" team - that very well could be us. That's what we were described as in the Von Miller sweepstakes. Beane keeps things so close to the vest that the media doesn't know what we're doing until we do it. That said, with the latest on Ridley being he's debating between the Jags and the Pats since - my guess is if we were the "dark horse" team, it wasn't the top paying option. It's clear that the WR class in the Draft is complicating Free Agent WR's. Most teams, us included, are hesitant to pay the price tags on these top guys when you can just Draft a guy who could likely be even better for a fraction of the price.

Apparently, if they sign Ridley prior to the start of the league year, they have to give Atlanta a 2nd round pick (per the initial trade agreement). If however, he is signed after the start of the league year, the compensation is only a 3rd round pick. Shefter was talking about this today on NFL Live. Quote

Yeah, I'd expect them he's probably already agreed to come back - it just won't be done until after today. 2 minutes ago, TonyBeets said: Weather and taxes is probably Ridleys thought That is if our offer is even with Jacksonville's - which i'd be surprised if it were.

That's a thought I had after they signed Davis and especially if they sign Ridley. I think we all had Jacksonville penciled in at WR at 17. That's effectively not a thought anymore, which is huge for us. 1 Quote
H2o Posted March 12 Posted March 12 15 minutes ago, Aussie Joe said: Jaguars likely not taking a WR ahead of the Bills now with Davis and Ridley on deck … Why does everyone keep overlooking Zay Jones like he's not the top WR on that team? I KEED, I keed Quote

Draconator Posted March 12 Posted March 12 I'm at band practice, which is not that far removed from band camp. Someone else update yo. Quote
Aussie Joe Posted March 12 Posted March 12 The Bills offered Hunter AJ’s deal but he declined .. 4 Quote

And considering the latest update has been that he's debating between Jacksonville and New England, I'm assuming that's where the money is - even if we are the "Dark Horse" team. 1 Quote

I would not be mad if Beane has to move up a bit. Watching the run last year was painful, though it worked out. 2 Quote

Im moving up two spots ( 4th round comp pick) for Thomas… if he goes earlier then I’ll ride it out at 28… they will still get a good prospect… 1 Quote
