Re: Its about the money

Of course its about the money my man.

If you were switching jobs and had other companies courting you, wouldn't you want the best deal and the most money possible? You cant blame the player for that.

And lets call a spade a spade.. People are NOT going to come to Buffalo for less money.. We're lucky right now given the losing ways of this franchise we can get someone to come here at even market value.

If Buffalo offers you the same or less money as a winning team like New England, or say a better weather and living situation like Miami or Tampa Bay; do you really expect the guy to end up in Buffalo?

It is what it is.. YOu have to overpay for some guys when your bad (and IM not saying Johnson specifically or we should for him). But you do that, and you become a good team, and the going rate to get a guy to sign on the line to come to Buffalo drops.

3rd string receiver on a losing team might limit the amount you get as well.

No argument. It was nice to finally have some "official" word as to the state of things.
I don't blame Johnson at all. it is unfortuanate for us that the WR market is stupid right now, but it is what it is

Re: Its about the money

If even the REDSKINS don't want a piece of you, you know you're asking for too much.

Talk about perspective...

Re: Its about the money

Im not talking about Johnson.. Im talking about ANYBODY.

Wilford didnt even get that much money, and reports said it came down to us and Miami for him. Obviously, we wanted him.. But he still went to a 1-15 team. why? Money, and weather/living..

Its the reality.

Again, no argument.
