eball Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 You'd think Adam could update his own article with information about the status of Walker's injury, since Jauron reported it was only a bruise immediately after the game. Then again, I'm not surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see what can do with the better talent he has to work with now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stalemate with Jason peters ? - The piece states that the Bills and Jauron are barely talking, and aren't making any progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermike Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Yeah, I really thought that Jauron was under contract for at least four seasons, not three. But I mean - I can't imagine Schefter screwed this one up; he clearly talked to people in the organization and has some real information. This isn't just some Rotoworld speculation.

JasoninMT Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Extensions for anyone are tough... If they don't cut a deal now, if the season goes bad, they'll be hard-pressed to sign him, given the poor performance. If the season goes well, it'll be more expenseive to sign him. The time is ripe for them to lock him up for a few more years now. His deal will be cheaper since he hasn't got a stellar performance to stand on right now. Then, it'll be cheaper to release him if he's not able to turn this team into playoff contenders, instead of pretenders. Same thing holds true w/ Evans. He hasn't put up All-Pro numbers... sign him now, he won't get as big a bonus as he will if you let him play the year out, and regardless of whether you want him next year or not, you will be unable to sign him then as he'll want to test FA. Unfortunately for Peters, he doesn't hold any cards - other than his ability. He's locked up for 3 more years. I can easilly see him getting an extension next offseason, and with it a payday bonus... but, he has to show up and perform like he thinks he can for that to happen. I'm sure his holdout is all about his injury - not that he hasn't recovered... but that he realized he didn't get a LT Bonus (the only guaranteed money in the NFL), and he's worried that if he gets injured worse, he'll have nothing to show for it since his bonus is gone.

I though Levy signed Jauron to a 4 year deal and he is in his 3rd season. Stalemate with Jason peters Could it be more obvious that Schefter is the mouthpiece for the agent? He has been basically singing the same tune all summer while ignoring that Steven jackson just did the same thing with the same agent. Every time he speaks the huge slant is that the Bills are in the wrong. he hasn't once pointed out that Peters has three years left on his contract or that the Bills do not have a history of refusing to re-negotiate contracts. As a matter of fact he could point to three or four examples of how they have done that, the difference being that the player was in camp. He doesn't spin it that way.

The Rams were negotiating with Parker when Jackson was holding out and not in camp. He only ended his holdout because a deal was imminent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
