Re: Whitner/Bills May Be Millions of Dollars Apart
See this is a concern I have with Ralph wilson and the older crew. They need to understand things have changed. If player at #7 got X amount in money guaranteed and player at #9 got Z amount then the bills MUST pay player #8 Y amount.
I feel ralph, marv and Jim may be too old school to want to guarantee much money. Sorry but thats the NFL now esp if you pick that high. If they had issues maybe they needed to move back in the draft and garner more mid round picks?
I am not saying that is 100% the issue, but there is enough of knowing ralphs old style way of thinking to warrant concern.Last edited by ICE74129; 08-02-2006, 03:01 PM.

Let’s not be stupid folks, use our brains here.
The draft picks are slotted in. You take what the 7th guy made and what the 9th guy made and slot the 8th guy right in between. And I can assure you, there is not “millions” of dollars difference between those picks.
I’m 100% sure that this story is FALSE!
And cool it with the Ralph BS. There is no doubt that the Bills Financial folks are hammering out this deal. There’s no way that Ralph called in and said that we can’t afford to pay this guy number 8 money so make him accept number 28 money.
Please, use your brains.
And stop believing everything you read on the Internet!Resign our own guys!

Um, it's from the Democrat and Chronicle which is the Rochester newspaper published by Gannett. They have a history of covering the Bills. This isn't just some guy writing a blog like MV posts in the Spin Zone.
I'd say this is at least as credible as the Clayton article, maybe moreso because the D&C actually has reporters who cover the team completely and in person, unlike John Clayton.

Ok, so we have 2 stories, from 2 reliable sources. I guess I shouldn't be shocked that the realists choose to believe the more negative story.
But it doesn’t make sense. These guys are slotted in and the Bills have a limited pool with which to sign these guys. It’s basically impossible to be millions apart.Resign our own guys!

I feel ralph and marv are balking at that number. Now if what DW's agent is in the ballpark between #7 and #9 then he is completely in the right.

Sorry thats how it is. he has a right to what he is slotted and he should stand firm till he gets it.
This is why I feel Marv might not be the right GM and Ralph should sell. We need an owner and GM that understands this. For those saying 'they do' then why are they not offering Whitner what he's slotted?
