You must predict player and contract details (yrs, base, guaranteed money, total value)

If you correctly predict position and/or contract details....you have a chance as well

I will be eligible for this game and will make my prediction by Sunday midnight

[Skooby]

THE NEXT BILL.

[gonzo1105]

Im probably going to be way off but im looking for a young guy we wont have to bust the bank for at a position of need:

David Hawthorne Olb/Mlb

4 years 15 million dollars 6.5 guaranteed total 17 million

[Crisis]

carlos rogers

[ublinkwescore]

Kamerion Wimbley

[NOT THE DUDE...]

wimbley

[elltrain22]

Either one of 2 guys. I say either Jared Gaither, b/c we need another solid Offensive Tackle besides Hairston. Or, and my pick to be there 1st signing is Paul Soliai. He's a space eater, and hopefully the start of some guys that can stop the ****ing run!!

[clumping platelets]

Just a newsflash...............base value INCLUDES guaranteed money, so if you have the basse value < guaranteed..............you need to amend your prediction

[The Jokeman]

Wallace Gilberry, DE UFA KC Chiefs. Contract details: 3 years, $1 million base. $5 million guaranteed, total value $11 million.

I know everyone is like who? He racked just 2.5 sacks last year but in 2010 he racked up 7.0 and keep in mind he played 158 fewer snaps in 2011. In 2009 he had 4.5 sacks. I'll admit he won't let anyone forget about Aaron Schobel but I think at the very least he can be used as a back up Right DE which I can't say we have now and doesn't force us to take a DE in Round 1 if Coples isn't available. Toss in Bills MO in free agency is typically signing backups with hopes of improved stats with more play he seems a perfect fit.

From a Cheifs fan site on evaluating his play from 2010: http://arrowheadaddict.com/2011/02/01/chiefs-roster-evaluation-wallace-gilberry/

The Kansas City Chiefs have a problem in DE Wallace Gilberry.

Gilberry is good. He is really good, in fact. The problem is that he is playing in the wrong defense.

We’re going to break from our traditional roster evaluation format here a bit today in talking about Gilberry. We’ll of course evaluate Wallace as we have with the others but we are skipping the whole ascending player part. Gilberry is an ascending starter in the NFL, there is no doubt about it. Unfortunately in 2010, he was used as a reserve.

Where Gilberry fell short this year was in his run defense. That brings us back to the fact that Gilberry is playing in the wrong defense. He is just too undersized to be a full time, effective DE in a 3-4 defense. Jared Allen is 270 pounds and Gilberry is 278.

He should be playing DE in a 4-3 defense. He has grown so much as a pass rusher that he could probably be an excellent pass rushing specialist, similar to Allen, in the right scheme.

[Michael82]

Umm, this isnt a new game. I usually run it each year if someone else doesnt do it. I've never been able to be eligible to win it though.

[Raptor]

Mario Williams 6 yrs 12.5 million base 31 million guaranteed, 63 million total value.:yap:





THE NEXT BILL.


Mario Williams, 5 years, $12 million base, $24 million guaranteed, $50 million total value.

I mean you guys realize Mario and his agent would both laugh there balls off at those offers right?

The Bill are going to have to go North of Peppers 92 million dollar deal and the 42 million Guaranteed

If the the Bills aren't ready to go 100 million and guarantee about 50 million of it there is no reason to pick up the phone

[more cowbell]

WR James Jett - 4 Years 40 Million, 20 Million Guaranteed.

[BADTHINGSMAN]

Kirk Morrison - 2 year deal worth 4.7 million and 1 million signing bonus. Im horrible at guessing what players are worth.


If he signs before FA starts do I get to try again or is that it?

[clumping platelets]

Guessing just the player gets you nothing..............you must also make a contract proposal

[clumping platelets]

Kirk Morrison - 2 year deal. Not sure what he is worth.


If he signs before FA starts do I get to try again or is that it?


Nope.............that's why you have until 3/13 4pm to make a guess

[Italian Stallion]

Cortez Hankton 3yrs 23.25 million 15 mil gtd

[Extremebillsfan247]

Vincent Jackson 3 years 30 million, 20 million guaranteed. Don't know if that's what you want, but there is my prediction.

[elltrain22]

Either one of 2 guys. I say either Jared Gaither, b/c we need another solid Offensive Tackle besides Hairston. Or, and my pick to be there 1st signing is Paul Soliai. He's a space eater, and hopefully the start of some guys that can stop the ****ing run!!

3 years/15 mill

Im terrible at guessing $$$

[Mski]

Mario Williams 6 Years 90M base 75M guaranteed 105M total value

[DasBills]

Not interested in guessing the contract, but I'll go with Martellus Bennett. I think that the Bills recognize the value that Chandler offers (obviously with the new contract), but I think they also know that if they are to have a high level of success on offense, they'll need a TE that can stretch the field. Bennett never lived up to his potential in Dallas, but he was also never afforded the opportunity. He's a true every down TE that can cause issues for defenses through the air, but is also one of the better run blocking TE's in the league.

[jamze132]

DE Mark Anderson

4 years, $3M base, $7M guaranteed, total value = $19 million

[mightysimi]

OG Carl Nicks 6 years, 8 million base, 22 million guaranteed, 48 million total value

[better days]

Vincent Jackson 3 years 30 million, 20 million guaranteed. Don't know if that's what you want, but there is my prediction.

Well, you are going to be out of the running. Jackson will be a Buc.

[Night Train]

LT Jared Gaither - 4 years 28 Mil, 15 Mil guaranteed.

[BillsFanCupp38]

Mario Manningham 3 years $26 million $11 guaranteed.

36.5 million total value


I Just threw a dart at the FA board

[ddaryl]

ALREADY RESIGNED

[Extremebillsfan247]

Well, you are going to be out of the running. Jackson will be a Buc.Predictions are what they are, a crap shoot. Your either rolling 7s, or snake eyes. :biggrin:

[clumping platelets]

I forgot to guess..............I'm out but still judge and jury

[Mindbender]

Mario Williams
5 years, 70 million guaranteed, 103 million total value

BOOM!

[Skooby]

:oops:

I forgot to guess..............I'm out but still judge and jury

Are the option years going to be considered part of the contract here?

[clumping platelets]

Predict the contract as you think it will be structured

[Ed]

Marcus McNeil - 4 yrs/$30 mil, $16 mil guaranteed.

[clumping platelets]

I will give partial credit.................in order to get the big prizes, you really need to predict THE free agent signed

[Skooby]

Predict the contract as you think it will be structured

Is structure based on paid years or years that we could pay him? I'm still baffled how an option year can be considered a contract year in length, regardless if they put one dollar towards an option it's still not an assured payable year for a player.

[Skooby]

Mario Williams, 5 years, $16 million base, $38 million guaranteed, $80 million total value.

I'd like to change this noting the time now:

Mario Williams, 5 years, $16 million base, $38 million guaranteed, $80 million total value.

[clumping platelets]

How can he have a $16 million base with $38 million guaranteed?

Total possible value > Base value > guaranteed money

[Stewie]

Is structure based on paid years or years that we could pay him? I'm still baffled how an option year can be considered a contract year in length, regardless if they put one dollar towards an option it's still not an assured payable year for a player.

Why are you baffled, this is easy. It's because the agent can go around saying "I just got so and so a 60 million dollar contract" instead of "I just got so and so a 48 million dollar contract"

Marketing fluff.

[dannyek71]

Manningham 5 years 50 million 22 guaranteed.

We're that dumb.

[Stewie]

Corltland Finnegan. 17 million guaranteed and 7.5 million per year

[clumping platelets]

A lot of guesses fail because the rules were not followed

[Mr. Pink]

CB Terrell Thomas
yrs - 5
base - 30m
guaranteed money - 12m
total value - 38

Just to throw a different name out there, basically.

[clumping platelets]

LOCKED!

Out already............he re-signed with the Giants early this morning

[clumping platelets]

I'll review this over the weekend

[clumping platelets]

#1 Mski
#2 raptor - didn't make a formal guess but his comment was so very close
#3 mindbender

10,000 to Mitch and beebe for predicting Mario Williams

5,000 to jamze132 for predicting that we would sign Mark anderson

FINAL

please......no complaints or whining :blahblah:

[clumping platelets]

Winning numbers

Mario Williams

6yrs

96 million base (not average per year)

100 million total value

50-51 million guaranteed

Again, base value should be listed as > guaranteed money........some posted base value as what I interpreted as average per year.......that would be wrong
