    Maybe we're clearing roster room for a big trade?

    Just trying to find the bright side of this total and complete BS.

    I hate the trade of Evans, especially for next to nothing.

    Evans gives us so much more than a 4th.

    Hopefully we're about to bring in some big name or something.

    WTF I hate the Bills right now.

    If they move a pick or two for a starter, it makes this move OK to me. But I think we do nothing and end up worse.

        how many times have we watched a ****ty move happen and then say, "no they can't be this obtuse, there must be another move coming." then we hear crickets.

        seriously though, list the times its happened... I'll start.

                  Basically. A typical day in the life of a Buffalo Bills fan.

                    i am sure they are/were going to lock up williams and johnson with long term deals but that still wouldnt eat all this cap space or even most of it. the other thing i was thinking is that there are 2 starting caliber tackles available.... max starks and bryant mckinnie... maybe they are going to lock one of them up. i am sure that either will go for at least around 3million per season.

                      can the bills just offer the current season ticket holders a major discount? just refund us the ticket price. that should work out to about $20MM

                          Why not just trade Fred Jackson now? Same reasons as for trading Lee - he is 30, we have you guys behind him, etc.

                            They will make that move when they need his salary to extend another player. That way you never increase your total salary. Gotta hold that line.

                              actually this is the proof that the evans trade is ALL about money and not "doing whats best for the team". fred jackson was the deal of the century. he was a exclusive rights free agent so he could only negotiate with the bills, so we took total advantage of that and basically forced fred to take a 4yr deal that will never pay him over 2 million a season. in fact this year he only makes 1.74 million and next in the final year he makes 1.86 million. there was never a way that steve johnson got extended with evans making 5 million per season. so they took whatever they could get so they didnt have to pay 2 receivers fair market value. they already had paid lee his roster bonus, i dont know why they wouldnt just pay him this season and see what the team did and then trade him or release him in the final year of his deal if we didnt make or get really close to the playoffs.
