BeastMode54 Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 I could be wrong, but I think I remember before we got Stroud that it was understood by him and his agent, that he would get his deal re-worked. I haven't heard anything at all this year or off-season, but do any of you remember this, and if it's true, will it be a problem?
Simon Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 It'll only be a problem if the Bills are too stupid to pay him what he deserves. I could be wrong, but I think I remember before we got Stroud that it was understood by him and his agent, that he would get his deal re-worked. I haven't heard anything at all this year or off-season, but do any of you remember this, and if it's true, will it be a problem?
BuffaloBlood Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 I remember hearing something about it and remember Stroud saying something to the effect of "my play will make you want to rework my deal". He was good this year but I dont know if he was that good was he?
Paup 1995MVP Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 I remember hearing something about it and remember Stroud saying something to the effect of "my play will make you want to rework my deal". He was good this year but I dont know if he was that good was he? Marcus Stroud had an average year at best. He had some strong quarters, but wasn't nearly a dominant force throughout any entire games except possibly the opener against Seattle. I thought he would have a much stronger presence. I would be very suprised if he received a lucrative extension.

I haven't heard anything at all this year or off-season, but do any of you remember this, and if it's true, will it be a problem? He was not the player that either Kris Jenkins or Shaun Rogers were and they both were acquired for the same price draft choice wise.
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 He was not the player that either Kris Jenkins or Shaun Rogers were and they both were acquired for the same price draft choice wise. He wasn't? Watch more, listen to ESPN less. Jenkins was good to start the year, and as the season wore on, he folded down the stretch. He became neutralized by the middle-end of the season, and was easily pushed around in the jets 3-4 scheme, leading to questions about whether or not he's suited to be a nose tackle. As Far as Rogers goes. Rogers had a terrible start to the year, and took him time to adjust. He played better as the season wore on. Push comes to shove I'd take Rogers over Stroud. Jenkins ehh not so much.
John from Riverside Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 If anybody on this team deserves a raise....Stroud should be in that group
Lurker Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 He was not the player that either Kris Jenkins or Shaun Rogers were and they both were acquired for the same price draft choice wise. Agreed. But he's better than any alternative the Bills have right now, which means he'll likely get some more $$ added to his deal.
moovemtooelay Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 He was not the player that either Kris Jenkins or Shaun Rogers were and they both were acquired for the same price draft choice wise. Kris Jenkins plays maybe 1/3rd of the defensive snaps
BUFFALOTONE Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 Stroud had a solid year. (In my best Teddy KGB voice) Pay that man his money.
PistolPeaTear Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 He was not the player that either Kris Jenkins or Shaun Rogers were and they both were acquired for the same price draft choice wise. Jenkins and Rogers have better talent around them on the dline as well.

I haven't heard anything at all this year or off-season, but do any of you remember this, and if it's true, will it be a problem? Stroud has one year left on his current deal.
KD in CA Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 (In my best Teddy KGB voice) Pay that man his money. That ace could not have helped you....

Shanahan's Horseshoe Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 Marcus Stroud had an average year at best. He had some strong quarters, but wasn't nearly a dominant force throughout any entire games except possibly the opener against Seattle. I thought he would have a much stronger presence. I would be very suprised if he received a lucrative extension. He was easily the best player on our defense this year. Look at the weak cast that he plays with! There is not one player in that front seven that could not easily be replaced. He consistantly played on the other side of the LOS and faced double teams. While fan favorites like Poz and Whitner somehow don't face scrutiny, Stroud was the only player that WAS Pro Bowl worthy on this team. PAY HIM!
JStranger76 Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 Stroud came here with 3 years left on his deal, and the Bills moved some of it into more "upfront money" because of all the other DT's aquired in trades got new deals. So now Stroud has two years left, and I would like to add two more with a decent signing bonus which would keep him here until he is 35. Sounds good to me.
Lofton80 Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 Stroud played well. He was certainly an upgrade over Triplett and McCargo. I was disappointed at the way NE handled Stroud with single blocking, he was eliminated repeatedly by the NE guard one on one. I would add a year and kick him some bonus dollars but not break the bank. Team needs to draft another middle round DT who can contribute.
dogbyte Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 Sorry Stroud was OK but no worthy of a contract extention. When his contract expires he will be 33. Not wise to extend him at that age. Need to get younger
berndogg Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 While fan favorites like Poz and Whitner somehow don't face scrutiny, You don't read this board very often, do you?
Stussy109 Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 Stroud had a solid year. (In my best Teddy KGB voice) Pay that man his money. But he didn't make the Probowl like Jason Peters did, and we want Peters to take a pay cut.
