All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Stevie Johnson contract: "I guess we're going to ride it out"
Western New York’s number one source for daily sports talk and play-by-play as the flagship station of the Bills and Sabres. Stream, read and download WGR 550 AM from any device on Audacy
"No, we don't have any contract talks right now. I guess we're going to ride it out. We're just going to ride out the season, or until something is stirred up and go from there but, as of right now, I'm still a Buffalo Bill for another year and we'll see what happens."
So much for saving all that cap room to extend him anytime soon...
Re: Stevie Johnson contract: "I guess we're going to ride it out"
If he's playing good after 8 games then they should extend him. Got to make sure last season wasn't a fluke. They already fell for that once with Evans.

If he's playing well, he's also gonna have a higher price tag... Or be more inclined to want to test free agency.
In the past, the Bills haven't won those types of gambles.
Re: Stevie Johnson contract: "I guess we're going to ride it out"
I'm not really worried about it. The bills will pay him what he's worth at the end of the season or franchise him. It would be a pr nightmare to let him walk.

He is a young and up and coming star in this league.... PAY HIM
It costs money. Who's the last player that got 8-9 mill per from the Bills? That's what he will command and it is extremely rare for the Bills to pay that.

I think your range is way too high.
He deserves to get paid, but not like Larry Fitzgerald or Calvin Johnson.
I think they'll get an equitable deal done with him.

He's about on par with Santonio Holmes to me and that's what he makes. Fitzgerald gets 11 or so per, and Calvin gets 8.8 and has another 8 available through incentives.
Re: Stevie Johnson contract: "I guess we're going to ride it out"
meh theyll get it done
i remember when moulds was thinking about going for max cash and he said after talking to guys around the league that if you are in a good situation you should STAY THERE cuz if you go for max money you can easily end up in a **** situation and when that happens you wont care anymore about the extra max dollars
of course eric ended up pretty bitter towards bflo at the end, but at the time i thought that was great advice

just hand the contract of 9/per year to Ralph upside down
Re: Stevie Johnson contract: "I guess we're going to ride it out"
The Bills can never seem to bring themselves to do the right thing. They overpay the Kelsays, and then piss off the Johnsons with their cheap ass crap.
We cut Handgartner and trade Evans for a bag of magic beans to free up a ton of money, and still can't get a deal done with Stevie. I guess being $20M under the cap is more important than making Jackson and Johnson happy.
At least Ralph and the bean boys are happy.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
