Hoecht and Ogunjobi 6 game suspension for PEDs

[Alphadawg7]

The melt down in thread is wild.  Beane is one of the 5 best GMs in the league and now people are melting down because a player he signed in which he could have no prior knowledge of, is suspended for something that happened prior to them signing here.  
 

Beane has still had an excellent offseason.  Larry and his 1 year contract suddenly missing 6 unexpected games doesn’t change that.

The dumbest part of the meltdown is we are going to draft multiple dlineman better than the two backups we signed lol

 

Same applies at corner

Dude you're really lowering the bar for your opinion of our DL over the last several years. I'll go on record as saying both Ed and Greg are overpaid based on their production. Maybe sacks are so yesterday, less nuance.  

 

I really hate this take and the flack that Greg gets on this site.

 

If he was allowed to just pin his ears back and go after the QB every down he'd have his 12+ sacks a year. 

 

That's not what he is asked to do in this defense, he sets the edge, engages and disrupts plays in both oppositions run and pass game.  Getting double digit TFLs every year is way way overlooked and dismissed here 

 

Also it's like people don't watch the games.  Our coach's philosophy is to keep people fresh so there are a lot of times throughout the year in 3rd and long situations and Greg isn't even on the field.  I don't agree with it as Greg should be out there on those plays 99% of time but again this is another reason why this guy ended up with 8 sacks and not double digits

They both said supplements.  

Then they should be able to appeal.

To be fair, I've never seen a GM sign two guys to contracts knowing they were going to miss the first six games for PED suspensions.  Hoecht I can understand because they knew well before hand and it's a multi-year deal.  Ogunjobi on the other hand they could've nixed the deal completely.  I still don't know why they didn't as he hasn't exactly lit it up the last couple of years.  From an outside perspective it's a clown show though and somewhat removes the tightly run efficient operation perception that McBeane's built over the years.

This has to be one of the dumbest things I've ever seen done by an organization in my entire life.

 

You sign a guy to a $24M contract with foreknowledge that he will be getting suspended for 6 games because of PED's? A no-named guy at that. Then, not only do you sign one guy being suspended for 6 games over PED's, you leave the contract on the table for the 2ND guy to sign even though he's going to be suspended 6 games for PED's? Then you want to justify it by talking about how the FA crop is dwindling down? 

 

In the history of the NFL, show me where someone, anyone has done this before. You don't think other FO's are sitting back like, "wtf are these guys doing in Buffalo?" This idiocy is on another level.

These were questionable signings for the money without the suspensions. These are rotational part time players with no history of exceptional play. Now they each miss the first 6 games? Even if the Bills had a lot of cap space and money to throw around it would be dumb. But the Bills are up against the cap and are over paying players that are suspended. Beane has lost his mind. 
Huge waste of money on a tight budget when you have holes to fill and your own players to re sign.

This is unfortunate and comical, but for all those casting stones, if there was a mandatory 100% screening of the bills team today, how many do you think would pass?

i think it is commendable when athletes say they are being transparent and accountable....while being basically on paid administrative leave to the tune of like 900k per week
