So $39M is the real number. He gets $3M AAV more than MVS got when he signed with the Chiefs. Sounds about right after two years of salary inflation.

 

Love it for the comp pick.

Love it for Gabe.

Would have HATED it for the Bills.

Not really digging all of the trash talk by fans in here.  Gabe was a good dude, good teammate, pretty good receiver and great blocker who provided us with a lot of fond memories on a cheap rookie 4th round contract.  Good luck to the young man.

That's a given.

Yep , I would say that’s as well. The jags always give the bills issues and are above.500 against them I believe.  Funny how bills homies are so ready to be critical of other teams receiving corps , yet we suffered watching  a season with the two fa’s from the fins do essentially nothing, Knox has continued to be an enigma, our wr 1 falling of in productivity drastically during the second halves of the 2 preceding seasons, our great hands rb continuing  to drop wide open passes and have fumble issues.  Plus , guys w blinders on forget the game that Jax easily beat our bills last year as even the now released zay jones even caught a TD during that game. 

 

Just saying , having been a bills fan my whole life , but at the same time having been an original jags season ticket holder to support the community and Jax’s bid to stay an NFL site to enhance the cities financial development , I’ve had to watch the jags beat the bills in playoff games ( ending Kelly’s career etc) and beat the bills even as the jags had inferior talent and it’s been a sad experience too often over the years. 

 

Better watch what you wish for as the bills really are in no position to criticize any receiving corp given the WRs beane has supported or, better to say failed  to support Josh with at least up until this point. Plus remember Gabe was here as Dorsey misused most players and had to be fired. All I am suggesting is pedersen is a good hc/oc (he does have a Lombardi the bills franchise lacks ) , and has proven he can outcoach McDermott head to head , so GABE MAY indeed have untapped potential. Time will tell and should only be judged going forward as the past means nothing now. Sadly, one of my fav BILLS , Morse , has also added in JAX , and will add a lot of intelligence and stability to bolster one of the jags weaknesses.  Really loved Morse as a BILL; guy was well spoken , humble, great leader and was good for josh who i think will also miss Morse. 

 

Have to admit these moves make Jax a more likeable team to follow locally even tho they are no where close to my BILLS fandom; it at least shows the owner is finally trying to win and thats been hard to believe with all the prior terrible squads they have fielded in the past.  Jax is a small town except geographically, and many football guys live in the very wealthy ponte Vedra beach area or go to the TPC at sawgrass or the LODGE beach club in ponte vedra.  I don’t live in those really wealthy areas but just in a non gated part of ponte vedra since ‘85 , and there is only one TARGET ( hey there are really great stores in the open mall area , but for some reason Targets still draws many high income shoppers. I know this having seen them but also from talks with cvs pharmacists in target who have shared w me ) in the area that surprisingly draws lots of people from those gated areas.   ( funny, i posted when i met and had a great 15 min visit in that target with then Milano fiancé , now wife, as while traveling thru the area she came up to me as i was wearing a bills hat !).

   

    So , here’s hoping i get a chance to possibly run into Morse or Gabe out shopping and get a chance to talk a little BILLS football with them!  Hate that they are no longer BILLS , but not sad they are now part of the city / community!   Anyhow , just saying bills fans should temper their criticism of GABE/morse/ Jax , until they see the actual product and be honest that right at this moment , our wr corp is a big question mark and who knows how good any bills wr is given the misuse by the past oc’s. I think a case could be made GABE could be more productive in the future than our prior MLB Edmunds will be as a bear going forward. Again , time will tell, but as a BILLS fan, not looking forward to playing Jax next year as we often play poorly against them and they have already added 5 significant new starters via free agency; GABE might thrive on the jags roster as pedersen might get more out of him.

You should see what the Giants fans are saying about Barkley …

I'll say this. If Beane had wanted to keep Davis as much as he was saying last year he would have found $13M AAV. That's a lot...but not a crippling amount. They were ready to upgrade the position.

You can say the same thing about every player who’s left the team this season, including Mitch Morse.

[OZBILLS]

Never got a chance. Sad

[HOUSE]

I might buy a season ticket

Maybe.....

Chad Hall is there and they have a good QB. Wins all the way around for Gabe

Yet, Gabe was most effective deep and that's not Tua's strength. Went to the Dolphins? Piss on him...

Best of luck to Gabe. I have no doubt he's a hard worker. 

Yes, a hard worker who lacks the talent to justify that commitment.  Good luck to him.

Hope you are being sarcastic, because Davis played 95 % of the snaps the past two years.  Nothing but chances.

Good thing I'm not a member of the Bills so I'm free to criticize all I want.

[3rdand12]

Best of luck to him !

he sure had some good moments. Those toe drags wow

 

I am going to have to watch his stats next year to see how he works out in another system. Lawrence likes the deep ball i read somewhere

 

[Big Blitz]

Forever a fan.  Best of luck young man.  
 

 

 

 

[MrEpsYtown]

Everyone finally gets to see how he fits in a WCO…which is likely not great. But I wish him luck

[JakeFrommStateFarm]

Good luck Gabe you will be missed.

 

Wished we could have had you in the last chiefs playoff game

I like Gabe in terms of him seeming like a good guy, good work ethic etc and I'm happy he got paid.

 

But I am also happy he signed elsewhere as I don't think he's dynamic enough to be a WR2 on a good offence
