Re: Losman Contract Extension......

Let's see what he does next year before extending it. If this were his contract year, I would say yes, extend his contract.

And you follow it up with neg rep.

You're a real winner, SAB. A legend in your own mind.

Re: Losman Contract Extension......

JP's signed through 2008 and Evans through 2009 if his option is exercised.

I'd like to extend both before it gets out of hand. The earlier the extension offer, the more likely a player will accept. So yes... I'm in favor of extending both while we have the money.

If extending them ties up more cap next couple of years then I wouldn't. We need the $ in areas that will help them play better.

Re: Losman Contract Extension......

If his contract ends after next season, I'd talk with Losman about extending. If it ends after the 2008 season, next year is plenty of time to talk about an extension.

Re: Losman Contract Extension......

I'd start exploring the options this offseason...but wouldn't push hard for it til after next season

Losman

Extend Evans before he becomes another TO or Javon Walker. Evans deserves more money.

Re: Losman Contract Extension......

I think that now would be the best time to get JP to sign a resonable extension at lower risk to the Bills then if they wait til after next year.

I expect the Bills, and JP, to improve more next year. Marv and the coaches have a pretty good idea of what they are doing and are good at selecting good quality players. This year I believe that they will give more attention to the OL and JP will benefit from it. A better Ol means a better running game and more time to throw. That means even better stats next year (and hopefully more wins) and thereby more bargaining power in contract negotiations.

If the coaches and Marv are as sold on JP as I think they are and believe that he will continue to mature and improve as a player. Then locking him up before next season would be a prudent thing to do.

Just like they did with Jason Peters last year. They signed him to a long term deal while he was a up and coming RT. If he had played out the last year of his last contract this season he would be looking at a contract for a young LT who looks like he could be a stud. In fact the Bills might not have been able to fend off other teams offers to him as I believe he would had been an unrestcirted free agent. Instead we have our best O lineman signed at a cap friendly rate for years to come it was a brilliant move.

If Jp has a better year next year his price goes up alot. Good QB's are hard to come by. I think JP will be a good QB in this league, how good I'm not sure but possibly a real good QB. He's got the arm, he's getting the coaching, he's tough, he played every down this year behind an OL that struggled and the kid does not quit and I like that in a QB. He also seems commited to Buffalo as an organization and as a community. He ain't looking to get out of here, he's wanting to make it happen here and I like that.

I think extending JP now would be a good idea.

Extend Lee Evans too becuase he is not going to get any cheaper either. He is a high character guy, a great reciever and the kind of player I like the Bills to have.

Re: Losman Contract Extension......

are you sure?

I read Jauron saying Losman was his QB in 2007 and it was time to address other positions on offense and defense. Was in the Buffalo/Rochester papers a few weeks back. Wilson then repeated those thoughts.
