[Michael82]

I just got the VText on my phone. Sweet news! McGee is a very underrated CB! :bf1:

[shelby]

[Coach Sal]

GREAT news for this team.

I honestly thought he'd wind up on the market.

But for once, OBD was proactive with a good CB before that happened.

[PECKERWOOD]

Very cool, how much is it worth and for how many years?

[Coach Sal]

Thanks Coach!

Thanks.

Got the news a little before I could get a link up!

[trapezeus]

awesome...just in time for him to be doubtful for this week's game. it's in the sports section of the buffalonews.com.

I actually think i remember the play that he got hurt on. he held the side/lower back after a tackle.

[psubills62]

Wow, excellent news! I'm surprised it got done this fast.

Who's next on the list for an extension now? Jackson and McGee are done...maybe Josh Reed?

[BILLSROCK1212]

this extension is HUGE....we don't have to worry about filling any holes next offseason, we just have to re-sing Kyle Williams and from there we just have to upgrade this is BIGGGGG

[PECKERWOOD]

I'm going to guess that it's worth about 26 million over 4 years.

[DaBillzAhDaShiznit]

Could this be a sign that the Bills are seriously thinking about signing or trading for a LB?

[BILLSROCK1212]

Wow, excellent news! I'm surprised it got done this fast.

Who's next on the list for an extension now? Jackson and McGee are done...maybe Josh Reed?
kyle williams and T.O.

[Pinkerton Security]

im very happy with this, nice to see us keep some talent!!

[PECKERWOOD]

kyle williams and T.O.

Kyle Williams just signed last year, didn't he?

Too early to tell with Owens.

[bigbub2352]

good move
HEY FRONT OFFICE DONT DRAFT ANY DBs NEXT YR
CONCENTRATE ON DLINE OLINE AND LBer

[T-Long]

Im an idiot...some mod delete my thread please

[don137]

Well that probably puts the Bills at about 30MM under the cap now...

[psubills62]

kyle williams and T.O.

I could be wrong...but I believe Williams signed an extension a year ago. And I'm doubting Owens gets extended unless he really breaks out in the first few weeks.

I can see them giving Reed a two-year extension. My fear is that they'll target Whitner next...and over-pay him based on his "potential" instead of his production.

[ddaryl]

good move

can I get an Amen to that my fellow Billszoners :tricycle:



as for Owens the front office won't do a thing until we see how he fits with the team for most of the year.

[Buffalogic]

Cool man. McGee is one of my favorite players. He just shuts up and gives great effort on every play. You can't have enough guys like that.

[BILLSROCK1212]

well if we got Kyle then Youboty and Reed....then we move to T.O......Edwards and we'll see

amen!

[Tatonka]

good news. i have always liked mcgee.

[HHURRICANE]

Well that probably puts the Bills at about 30MM under the cap now...


Based on this front office they probably just signed Edwards to a 7 year deal based on the Pats game.

[jimbohastle51]

Williams did just get extended. U can count on the next extension being edwards if he keeps his play up for a few more weeks. They will extend him now like they did with butler, williams,mcgee, peters. They will do it early before he has a couple back to back solid seaspms and commands aaronrodgrs money. Trust me edwards will be extended by seasons emd if his play stays up.

That would be a HUGE mistake. And I'm not saying that because I dislike Edwards...I actually like him and I hope he works out.

But the thing is that Jauron is unlikely to last past this season. If we get a new HC, he's most likely going to want his own QB to groom. And then you know Edwards would be on a short leash.

Very hypothetical situation, but very probable imo.

[SquishDaFish]

You know Im sick of seeing you bash everything. Will you just go to another team already. I know our FO isnt the greatest but that have done some good things and McGee is one of them now.

[Thurmal]

Money that should've been spent on Greer.

McGee isn't terrible, but he isn't great, and he certainly is NOWHERE close to being a shutdown corner. I don't see the big deal about him whatsoever. He is probably the most overrated player on the team.

[Mr. Pink]

I love this, people saying this a great move to resign McGee after they were saying it was great to let Nate and Winfield walk.

Even though Nate and Winfield were better.

Typical Bills FO stupidity, resigning the wrong guys.

Now we get another few years to deal with a guy who should be a nickelback but isn't here, I'm excited!

[Crisis]

has the money been reported yet?

i was as big of a nate fan as anyone but he's not worth what SF is paying him.

NTM, you don't know what McGee got.

Im not gonna say that McGee is on the same level as Winfield but saying that he should be a nickelback is completely wrong IMO. He did a good job of keeping Moss out of the endzone and he usually doesnt get beat to often. I think he would have done even better if the dumbass D C would let the corners play tighter than they do. Most of Mosses yards in Monday came from short throws or screens. I think this is a good move by the FO.

[JD]

Wow, excellent news! I'm surprised it got done this fast.

Jauron will get an extension before Reed does :rain:

Winfield yes. Nate. Meh. Somewhat. But Nate did not want to sign and wanted to hit the open market. But they did screw up with Winfield, although that was TD and not the current crew.

And McGee is way more than a nickelback. That is crazy.

[Dr. Lecter]

Money that should've been spent on Greer.

McGee isn't terrible, but he isn't great, and he certainly is NOWHERE close to being a shutdown corner. I don't see the big deal about him whatsoever. He is probably the most overrated player on the team.
He is much better than Greer though.

Greer was way overrated.

BTW, channel 2 reported the money as 4 years, $27 million.

[OpIv37]

I still think that the Bills' FO blew the CB situation- they should have re-signed Greer and traded McGee for some OL or pass rush help.

But, since that ship has sailed, locking up McGee is a quality move.

[OpIv37]

He is much better than Greer though.

Greer was way overrated.

BTW, channel 2 reported the money as 4 years, $27 million.

he's better, but not much better. And Greer was about $5 million cheaper.

Of course, that would only matter if the Bills would have re-invested that $5 million in the team, which they probably wouldn't have done.

[psubills62]

Please tell me you're joking...if it's actually 4 years for 27 million, that's quite a deal for McGee.

And why doesn't anyone realize that Greer probably didn't want to be here?? Let's see, take the money and be a starter or take the money and be a nickelback? Hm....tough choice.

[Michael82]

That's a very good deal. I like it. :bf1:

[Hemlepp53]

Smart move. We need a solid dependable CB. This is one of the smarter moves this season in regards to on field personal. the FO needs to work on signing TO for 3 - 4 years. We need his presence...

[mysticsoto]

$4 yrs, $27million sounds like an ok deal to me too for a decent quality starting CB.

Clump, where does this leave us on the cap?

McGee was the big name we might lose after this yr? Anyone else?

[OpIv37]

If we traded McGee, Greer WOULD be a starter. And as of the end of last season, McKelvin still hadn't earned the starting spot. Your argument didn't really take into account what I said.

[OpIv37]

Winfield yes. Nate. Meh. Somewhat. But Nate did not want to sign and wanted to hit the open market. But they did screw up with Winfield, although that was TD and not the current crew.

And why doesn't anyone realize that Greer probably didn't want to be here??

and on that note, why is it that so many people don't want to sign here? Everyone just dismisses it- "oh well, he didn't want to be here"- but no one stops to think about WHY so many people want to get out of this organization.

Nate wanted huge money.

Others don't want to come here for reasons we all know.

Greer wanted to be a top guy and knew he would not beat out McKelvin or McGee.

What part of "trade McGee, start Greer and McKelvin" is so hard to understand?

[Dr. Lecter]

What part of "trade McGee, start Greer and McKelvin" is so hard to understand?

I understand it.

What part of "I don't think Greer should be starting" is so hard to understand?

I just don't like Greer as much as most do. I think he falls in the category of average and we all think we have too much average on this team.

[PECKERWOOD]

He is much better than Greer though.

Greer was way overrated.

BTW, channel 2 reported the money as 4 years, $27 million.

My guess was off by 1 million, what's sad about that is that they've probably been working on the deal for the last year or so.

[Dr. Lecter]

$4 yrs, $27million sounds like an ok deal to me too for a decent quality starting CB.

Clump, where does this leave us on the cap?

McGee was the big name we might lose after this yr? Anyone else?
Other names up after this year are Denney, McCargo and Josh Reed.

Not sure any of them will come back.

[Dr. Lecter]

My guess was off by 1 million, what's sad about that is that they've probably been working on the deal for the last year or so.
They started after Maybin signed.

Usually, the total amount is the easy part. The structure, bonus's and guaranteed money is the hard part.

I understand it.

I just don't like Greer as much as most do. I think he falls in the category of average and we all think we have too much average on this team.

well, what's better? McGee and our current OL or DL, or Greer and an upgrade on the OL or the DL?

I think that trading McGee for someone that would help the pass rush would make Greer look better than average and the team would be better off. Of course, I realize this depends on that trade being available and it may not have been. If possible, though, it would have been the best option for a team destined to lose a starter at CB one way or the other.

Huge money?

If McGee is gonna get 6+ million a year, then 10+ million a year for Nate woulda been a bargain.

To put it mildly.

[PECKERWOOD]

Huge money?

Say what you want, but there really isn't a huge drop off between Nate & Terrence. I actually like McGee more, reminds me alot of Winfield and has character, one of the more interesting players on the team as far as personal stories go.

holy **** my PC just freaked out, please help me delete these mods.

Bull****. Clements wasn't worth $10million a year, and in the current market McGee is worth what he's getting.

[BuffaloBlakely14]

Nate has been getting burned in San Francisco since he got there. To the point that he was called out by Mike Singeltary this year.

[mybills]

That's my boy! :bf1:

[Dr. Lecter]

You had a typo.....

[psubills62]

If we traded McGee, Greer WOULD be a starter. And as of the end of last season, McKelvin still hadn't earned the starting spot. Your argument didn't really take into account what I said.

Who's going to guarantee that McGee could be traded? What if Buffalo shopped him around and didn't feel like anyone wanted to compensate them correctly for McGee's services? That seems to happen a lot when teams shop players around.

Those kinds of things aren't as easy as you make it sound.

Besides, why would you want Greer to be starter instead of McGee? Especially since you've admitted yourself that McGee is better. You sound a lot like the organization you criticize constantly...going with a lesser player because he costs less. I thought we were supposed to pay our better players?

[psubills62]

and on that note, why is it that so many people don't want to sign here? Everyone just dismisses it- "oh well, he didn't want to be here"- but no one stops to think about WHY so many people want to get out of this organization.

Like I was saying...Greer would have to fight for a starting spot if anything instead of being guaranteed a starting spot elsewhere. Everyone has different reasons. Asante Samuel and Deion Branch didn't want to stay in New England...does it seem like a huge concern for the Patriots?

I don't think it's a huge deal because there are plenty of guys who do sign with and re-sign with Buffalo. Lee Evans, Stroud (extension), McGee, etc.

Ok, let's do this ONE MORE TIME for those who can't keep up.

Our current OL/DL plus McKelvin and McGee... OR we trade McGee for some OL/DL help and start McKelvin and Greer. I think that Greer, McKelvin and some pass rushing help would be better than McGee, McKelvin and our current POS DL.

Yes, McGee is bette than Greer, but not that much better, and to say that's the end of the argument shows a lack of understanding of team sports.

In this case, it's NOT just a lesser player. It's a lesser player who's still good, PLUS the money we save, PLUS whatever we got as compensation for McGee.

Haha you make it sound like I'm daft when you completely ignore the fact that you make "trading for OL/DL help" sound as easy as pie. Who exactly is or was on the trading block that would help us? How are we guaranteed to get much return on McGee, especially when he only had one year on his contract left? I pointed this out in my post, which you conveniently ignored. Trading to fix the lines isn't nearly as easy as you make it out to be. If it was, Carolina would have done so because they need a DT in a huge way.

I just do not understand some people. When we don't sign players, you get upset. When we do sign players, you get upset.

Oh, and btw, Greer isn't quite as good as you make him out to be. McGee is notably better, not "slightly" better.

yeah, I'm sure no one in the NFL wants a starting caliber CB who can also return kicks- that one's really a tough sell :rolleyes:. And the BILLS locked up McKee- you know, the team that let Greer, Clements and Winfield all walk. So his contract really wasn't an issue for a potential trade.

When it comes to not signing players, it's on a case by case basis. This team re signs the WRONG players (examples: Kelsay and Schobel) and doesn't re sign the RIGHT players (examples: Fletcher and Pat Williams). you can't just say "we signed a guy so it was a good move"- it depends who the guy is.

And as far as people being upset over who we sign or don't sign- this team has been garbage for 10 years, so anyone who's upset has a right to be. The moves this team makes- whether it's signing someone or not signing someone- are not leading to wins.

Well no, McGee's contract isn't an issue NOW. It was an issue back during the time when they would be trying to re-sign Greer, and probably during the time frame that they would have tried to trade McGee. I don't see this scenario playing out at all. In order to re-sign Greer, they would have to promise him a starting job. In order to do that, they would have to tell him they plan on trading McGee. But then they would try and extend McGee only to trade him? How exactly is this scenario working in your head?

I don't think you can say that everyone this team re-signs has been the wrong player. Yes, they've made some crappy moves, I won't deny that. Although I certainly wouldn't put Schobel in the category of crappy moves. Maybe he didn't deserve as much money as he got, but that's the case for a lot of players around the league, not just Schobel.

It's easy to complain that they should have kept Greer, traded McGee, etc. But they didn't keep Greer. So knowing that, do you think it's the right move to sign McGee? Without any of these hypothetical situations, would you rather they re-sign McGee or let him go in FA?

[OpIv37]

I said in my first post in this thread that given the fact that the Greer ship has sailed, signing McGee was the right move.

OK, good to know. Sorry, didn't see that before.

[MassEffect218435]

Let the elite players go, give the money to the average players. Typical; but McGee is the best CB currently on the roster so I guess you have to give the F.O. credit for at least locking him up.

[Marvelous]

:up: Good move OBD.
-Ima thinking that Randy Moss takes most CB's lunch money though..
