Diva wide receiver shenanigans strike again!

There should be something written in the contract that says if they don't complete the contract they don't get paid, he just got his extension and how can he hint at wanting to leave this short after signing that and still expect to get his money ? 

In Tyreek's case, it's even worse. They restructured his contract, converting a lot of it to a 2024 signing bonus. One reason he wants out is to get an extension because there isn't much money left on his contract.

I don’t know where to put this but it speaks to the importance of improved playmakers (and to how great Josh is):

Second, I know I am in the minority here but elite WR's are over valued IMO.   What AFC teams have the best WR's?  Houston, Jets, Dolphins Bengals...three of those teams are not in the playoffs and the one that is had a ton of injuries to WR's, Houston lost Dell, Diggs and Collins (for some of the season).   The Chiefs traded one of the most unique talents at WR and then won the next two SB's with trash at WR.   After QB, I really don't think elite WR is next in the importance list...it is probably coaching and scheme and players who can do what is asked at a competent level.

 

Shhhhh...you are going to stir up the "We must mortgage everything for WR's" crowd...

 

Totally agree with you and its what I have been saying repeatedly for a while and its also historically true as well for Super Bowl winning teams.  Does that mean you shouldn't have good WR's and roll with scrubs?  Of course not, but scheme, fit, execution, and consistency matter a lot more than over investing into the WR position from a cap perspective.  

In terms of importance...if you want to win in the post season consistently...you better win in the trenches.

 

That being said, without question WR should and will be a priority this offseason.  We either will resign Cooper (I hope this only happens on a cost friendly deal, hes not worth higher WR1 money) or they will address it via trade, FA, or draft.  Beane by no means was ever "done" at WR last offseason, we had $31M in dead cap at the WR position and not a lot of cap maneuverability in a mini cap reset year.  Beane even stated it was Coopers price tag that made him gettable mid season.  

 

So I fully expect an investment into the WR position either from bringing some guys back or adding to the group in other ways.  I have not had time to look at the FA market ahead of next season, so not sure what kind of player he can find there (outside of Cooper), but there are some potential trade targets and of course the draft too if we don't bring Cooper back.

While this would be amazing...I think you are being too hopeful here.  Shakir has earned a ton of respect around the league.  When other coaches, GM's, players, analysts talk about him, they gush about him...not to mention our own teams extremely high opinion of him.  Now add in the bigger caps now, and this feels a bit unrealistic IMHO.

 

I do however think its a mutual fit and want here between Shakir and the Bills, so I do believe he will sign for less than he would get on the open market if he waits another year for FA.  I think the mid teens is much more probable (like $15-$17M per).  But like @NewEra stated, I hope you are right because he would be a steal at $12M per.

Something he may come to regret is playing hurt this season (wrist).  

 

Never a good idea for the player.

i just looked at Spotrac and he signed an extension this season, it says he has like $88 Million in dead cap, so Fish are in Cap Jail if he leaves.
