No extension for TO this season

[casdhf]

What "big-name" coach would want to inherit him? I dont see an extension happening before a new coach is hired. Any other thoughts?

You're 100% correct.

Unfortunately, that probably eliminates any real chance of him staying here beyond this year

If Shanahan were to come here... Why wouldn't he want a player like T.O.? He has done everything right since being here and is showing why he is a HOF receiver.

I think Shannahan understand the value of a player like T.O. having coached Marshall.

These are all good points... But we may consider the Franchise tag. That would likely be the decision of the new regime and may keep the option open for negotiating a 2 or 3 year deal.

I say we keep him... at a more reasonable price than 6.5 mil per season.

based on the thread title, i thought this was going to be about more than just speculation.... oh well.

$6.5 will be the range we pay a guy ike this....

Players can be tagged in a 15 day period in the middle of February. Even if the new regieme isn't in place yet, the Bills could still tag him. I believe the tag can be removed up to a relatively late date... The player would then become a free agent.

I believe last years top 5 WR's averaged $9.9M. This would leave room for an ultimate deal something like...

3 years... $6M signing bonus, $4M 2010 (guaranteed,) $4M 2011 (guaranteed), $10M 2012.

Let me get this straight - he won't resign with us, but then we spend MORE money to get his "non-commital" level of performance?

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKKKKKKKKK that.

It's going to take a Patriot collapse and winning out and some sort of star alignment/playoff berth for T.O. and Rosen**** to change their mind.

unless no one else wants him again, which is entirely possible.

If Shanahan can put up with Marshall, I think he can handle TO.

where did you hear/read that TO didn't wanna come back next year? since we haven't heard that yet then what do they have to change their mind about?

Ummm........I think we'd have to prove something to counteract this mindset. He obviously feels this enough to make an effing press release. Nobody else remembers this? Even Adam Schefter 'tweeted' that there was less chance that he resigns than the chance he signed in the first place.

Re: No extension for TO this season

maybe your seeing something in the article that is hidden to me, but nowhere in there does it say anything about not coming back next season. now, am I saying that he is going to resign? no. TO's mouthpiece of an agent was spouting off about bad line play, which we all know about and giving reasons for TO not putting up the numbers that he usually does. things have changed since that article was written and TO is actually putting up some numbers. only time will tell on if he will resign or not.
