BB Fan 4 LIFE Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 It will be really interesting to see what kind of contracts we sign with Wood/Levitre. We took 'em pretty high, which means we're going to have to pay them. The real question will be whether we actually even saved any money by releasing Dockery and trading Peters. Something tells me we saved a couple million dollars. So, was starting from scratch worth it?
SKOOBY Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 So, was starting from scratch worth it? Peters was a A-hole, he took a look at his poor play and justified it with his contract diputes, taking a position over his team / pride. F-him and anyone that liked him.
ax4782 Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Considering that Peters obviously wanted out of Buffalo and was going to cost us 11 mil to sign, and Dockery was averaging 7 mil per season, yeah we're going to save money. Watching the games last year, you would have noticed that our LT gave up the HIGHEST sack total in the league last year. Not worth 11mil. Sorry. Dockery may as well have been named OPEN DOOR for as well as he played and he was horrible in the run game, something that was supposed to be his strong suit. He never panned out for us. These two new interior linemen play much more physically, and will be instant UPGRADES over the players they are replacing. And, by the way, looking at the average contracts of the #28 player and the #51 player, we're going to save about nine mil over what we would now be paying Peters and Dockery had we kept them both. That allows us to, oh my God, actually sign a couple more quality free agents, say like LT Levi Jones, or OLB LeRoy Hill.
Fingon Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Wood will get what... $2.5 million a year? Levitre will get probably around $1.5 million.
SKOOBY Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Wood will get what... $2.5 million a year?Levitre will get probably around $1.5 million. Instead of ~$16M for 2 losers, do the math folks. That's enough to sign a high priced FA, somebody.
BB Fan 4 LIFE Posted April 29, 2009 Author Posted April 29, 2009 Wood will get what... $2.5 million a year?Levitre will get probably around $1.5 million. 2008 pick #28 Lawrence Jackson (Eric Wood) 3.6mm 2008 pick # 51 Malcom Kelly (Andy Levitre) 1.5mm Pretty close.
