When an OK DE gets this kind of $$, the hand writing is on the wall. Think these massive salary increases aren't going to be passed on to the ticket buying fan ? Soon, every decent starter will be making 8 mil a year. What will Evans and Losman get within the next year, if we try to extend them ?
I see tickets going up significantly the next 2-3 years. I bet the NFL ticket on DirecTV will also take a huge jump. The Owners wish to maintain a certain profit margin and the players and agents want tons more $$. They still believe they are getting shorted ! Incredible. The fan doesn't even figure into the formula.
You honestly think the Bills can compete in this economic insanity ? Sideline seats will soon be $100 + a game. Endzone seats will be $60. Club seats, already slightly over $100, will be $175 a game. Maybe more. That includes pre-season, don't forget. In 2004 the cap was a high 80.5 Mil. Now it's 109 Mil and going up another 8 Mil next year. This is Friggin nuts !
I'll enjoy this team while I have it but I hope a new economically sane league forms when the Bills and several other teams leave the NFL within 5 years. A hard cap of 50-60 Mil. Take it or go flip burgers.
These player contracts are not realistic at all with the local economic conditions and the price ceiling on tickets has already been reached.
I can't believe they got this greedy and cooked the golden goose. The Bills and several other teams are now on short timer status with the NFL.
