    Johnson reps and Bills to meet on Friday



    A source now tells Eyewitness Sports Director Jeff Russo that Friday is the day for that meeting in Indianapolis.

    The two sides are expected to discuss the possibility of a new contract for the wide receiver.
    IMO, if it's gonna get done, it'll be done during this meeting, or soon afterwards.

    Yeah I think some form of good news has to come from this meeting or Stevie's gone. Even if it's just that they made a little progress.

              On the radio this AM they were throwing around 'reported' numbers w/Stevie asking for 8.5mil and the Bills offering 6.5mil. Nothing from any horse's mouth, of course.

                if that's the case, logic would say if both want the same thing, they meet in the middle at $7.5. But I suspect Stevie will test the market to see if he can get $8.5 from somewhere else. I'm not sure he will but I think if he reaches FA, he's going to NE.

                  I'd be fine with giving him $8.5. He'll definitely get that on the open market.

                    Here's my guess: Bills offer him $7 mill- he doesn't accept but the Bills leave the offer on the table. He goes to FA and finds someone to give him $7.5 or 8.

                      Not sure if he is worth 8.5MM if Bowe will go for 9MM. 7.5MM seems like a good compromise.

                        Who says Bowe will go for $9?

                          Well, I am NOT buying "reports" the Bills won't franchise Stevie. NOBODY on the Bills has said that & the Bills NEVER report about contracts until they are done.

                          I expect a contract to be done before Mar 5, but if not they better tag him. There is NO reason not to do so.

                            franchise tag for a WR is a little over 9- Bowe will most likely go at or near the tag.

                              Yes there is. If they have to franchise him, they'll end up paying him a little over 9 and they only want to pay him $6.5.

                              I think there are some serious flaws in that logic, but that's honestly how I believe the FO views it.
