McGee said he's advising Price to sign the Bills offer to keep his options open. At the very least, the move would prevent the Bills from lifting the offer and forcing Price to become a free agent at a time when teams would have already used up most of their salary-cap room to make offers.
Last April, Washington linebacker Jeremiah Trotter was forced to scramble to find a new team after the Philadelphia Eagles lifted their franchise player tag. Trotter eventually signed with the Redskins, but the Eagles' decision sparked bitter feelings in the player.
"I'm not going to allow that to happen to my client,'' McGee said.
McGee all but ruled out attempts to negotiate a long-term deal with the Bills. Their last offer was about $3 million a season and included a $4.5 million signing bonus.
"That's not up for consideration,'' McGee said.
He also doubted the Bills could significantly improve their offer considering the team is attempting to address its other needs -- particularly on defense -- once the NFL's free agency period opens on Friday.
i think he is a better agent than what we are giving him credit for.. just because we dont like what he is saying as bills fans, doesnt mean he isnt doing his job.
