    1.1 mill apart on guaranteed money

    http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slu...v=ap&type=lgns

    15 mill guaranteed for Huff, 12.1 for Mills. the average of that is 13.55 mill guaranteed. It seems to me from that report, Whitners agent is right in asking for nearly 14 mill.

      All of this over a million dollars in guranteed money? If he's any good he's gonna see it anyway while playing out the contract.

      If he isn't any good then is a million dollars worth him missing camp?

      I mean seriously. They gave Craig Nall over 2 million in gurantees and players like Josh Reed and Peerless Price almost 4 million in gurantees. Now they are worried about 1 million dollars?

      This is pathetic. Get the deal done and get him in camp.

        Whitner is also a greedy SOB too. Missing all this camp over this. He's getting a million more in gurantees then Ernie Simms and he's getting multiple millions more then he would've received had we not drafted him higher then anybody else had him on their radar.

          By this logic, eveyrone should take the same pay as mr irrelevant, because teams did them a favor by drafting them where they did.

            Did I say he should take less money then the guys drafted behind him? He's getting more then Simms. It's close enough where the deal should be done.

            I just clearly stated he was drafted higher then most teams were gonna draft him. I didn't say he should get less money then them.

              If you split the difference between $12.9M and $14M, you get very close to the $13.55M figure, $13.45M I think, without a calculator.

              Come on, guys, compromise and get this deal done!
              Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

                You are right on one issue, its pathetic. It's pathetic if the Bills are balking at 13.5 mill in guaranteed money. That is the slotted amount thanks to 7 and 9 signing. The bills have to pay it.

                  Its not an issue of getting more than simms, its an issue of being paid what he should be paid.

                  Bottom line, he was drafted 8th. The Bills have to reach the middle between Simms and Huff. That is about 13.55 mil in guaranteed money. Not 1.1 mill less.

                    You are absolutely right.

                      Whitner's too high, Marv's too low. Both sides should realize that 13.5 is about right.

                        Read the article again, Ice. The Bills aren't offering 12.45...it's 12.9

                            Hey now you dont know that.

                            You hire an agent....he tells you what to do.....and you do it.

                            I do think if anymore significant time goes by......witner will put his agent in his place.
