we are trying to sign troupe and johnson since they have the same agent, and thats whats taking so long? with gaines to the lions and crumpler to the titans we dont have too many more decent options, as well as at WR.

I was thinking the same thing. Expecially after what Johnson already said.

I don't think one has anything to do with the other.

actually they do, they have the same agent, so even if they arnt working contracts at the same time, you can bet that how negotiations go with one client would have something to do with the other. if we came off to be cheap twords BJ i am sure there agent wouldnt waste time negotiating for another client right away.

I think we've proven that we're not trying to be cheap this year.

Idk if that is true i mean if you look at the contracts they rnt a lot of money considering. and we cut triplett to get stroud and johnson regardless of whether he should have been cut or not it looks like us being cheap to me. But hey im not complaining keep the players coming

Marcus Stroud and Willis McGahee have the same agent in Drew Rosenhaus. Following your logic, why did Drew waste his time with Buffalo regarding Stroud? Time heals all wounds?

bc drew had nothing to do with the deal

also both of his players were in buffalo same day so what he is saying if we low balled BJ maybe he would feel like we are low balling troupe or if we have good relations with BJ then the process for troupe might be smoother

Triplett getting cut had nothing to do with being cheap. I think it saved Buffalo $500,000 against the cap. It had to do with not getting production that was equal to his salary. No big loss in my book.

We cut Tripplet because he wasn't producing.
We gave Mitchell a decent contract
Johnson's Contract is also decent
Stroud is making decent money
If we were being cheap none of these guys would have signed.

Now if we could only draft Kelly or Sweed (995)

uh well thats simple, the 2 deals you are talking about happened over a year apart. i am talking about 2 clients possibly in the same day doing negotiations, what i am saying is if things broke down about BJ i am sure it would be hard for the 2 sides to sit right back down and agree about another client right away.
