Maybin contract rumor

[BillsWin]

I just got a text from a guy at work saying that a team source told John Clayton that Maybin's contract may take another 8-10 days unless there is some big break through in the next few days. Its not real big news though, Clayton already expressed his opinion that it would take more than a week yesterday. Just passing it along.

Re: Maybin contract rumor

Do you think there comes a point where you say "here is our final offer, take it or sit out the year and re-enter the draft?"

No, it never comes to that. That's a lose-lose situation for everyone.

A deal will get done eventually. It always does.

Re: Maybin contract rumor

there is no reason for it to take that much longer at all!!!

Sure it's a lose-lose situation, but one side loses a lot more. Namely the player. The chances that Maybin gets picked in the first round next year, much less in the top-15, if he sits-out the year are slim-to-none. And he loses a year of NFL money. As it stands, he's losing playing-time incentive money because he'll be so far when he DOES get into camp, that they might limit his play during the regular season to very little.

You're right, let's just throw away a first round pick, who needs em right?

Re: Maybin contract rumor

I thought for sure he'd be signed, sealed, and delievered in no time. Not good that he is holding out. Whatever the case, Maybin is not going to help us out this year anyways.

I doubt it would come to that.

Re: Maybin contract rumor

I have to admit that I never wanted Maybin in the first place and so far this isn't really helping to win me over.. He definitely has a big uphill climb to breakdown all of the negative stigmas associated with him.

Whether that's fair or not doesn't matter, that's just the way it is. I just don't want him to turn into a nothing, like Gholston or something.

My point was that that never happens though. He'll sign eventually it's just going to take longer then we'd like.
