Re: McKelvin resigns with Buffalo

Contracts don't mean anything in this league, so the amount he's getting doesn't bother me, but what message does it send when you reward fringe starters but let go of your best players.

We don't know the terms, so step away from the ledge.

Re: McKelvin resigns with Buffalo

wow. I'm very surprised to see Leodis pick up 5 mil per. Either the Bills have a very high opinion of him or the other CBs on the market are going to be getting 8-9 mil per and they got a bargain.

Re: McKelvin resigns with Buffalo

4 years 20 mil is being reported...for a punt returner and a player who was benched for two years then viewed as the startin cb this year by the same GM....sad it really is

If you think McKelvin was the problem with this defense last year, you may need to rewatch some of the games.

The Coach makes the decision on who sits and starts. Not the GM.

How the hell are you going to ***** about resigning a playmaker? Contracts don't mean anything these days, let's see how much is guaranteed first. He is the best special teamer other than Jacoby Jones. Yeah let's not resign him so we have 3 corners on our roster and no playmaker on ST.....

Re: McKelvin resigns with Buffalo

This dude can't cover at all too, just goes to show how ****ing pathetic Nix is. Keeps around complete bums like Kelsay and Scott, do nothing players, add McKelvin to the list now. Don't talk to me about his returns skills either, you can put Justin Rogers back there and get production. KR are devalued with the kickoff rules, so it basically comes down to PR, teams can stay away from him on punts.

Resources continued to be wasted on below average talent, or one trick ponies. How is this signing different than the Brad Smith signing? One can't play WR, the other can't play CB, both can return kicks.

Hurrah, another kick returner, exactly what we were lacking.

Edit: LOL @ calling McKelvin a playmaker. The dude can't ****ing cover, he can't make any plays in coverage. Some of you guys don't give up. McKelvin has started 10 games in the last 32, a third of his games. Pathetic CB play, good returner. Is the return game what's holding this team back or our inability to cover anyone?

Re: McKelvin resigns with Buffalo

Hopefully about 8-10mil is signing bonus and the salaries for first three seasons are minimal.

Re: McKelvin resigns with Buffalo

Like the resigning. We'll see what the guaranteed money is.

I'm guessing Buddy wanted Leodis' contract to cover Brian Hartline's

Re: McKelvin resigns with Buffalo

wow really? you forget what this bust has done here for five seasons the reason another coaching staff benched him at cb and returner cause of how smart this guy is on the field...Brady sure loves to throw in his direction rewatch those games...he is part of a defense that was horrible just like scott yet resign them to contribute to what? Losing...sorry better talent was out there in fa

Nix sure does have a say on who is on this roster and he keeps bring back bums who other teams pick on in the passing game which is just has horrible as our run defense so yes mckelvin contributes to that....when he is actually on the field and not being benched for another horrible miss in the draft by Nix in Williams

Not to mention he was benched for a rookie in brooks as well as a former 7th rd pick in Rodgers

Spin it anyway you like this signing sucks!

Re: McKelvin resigns with Buffalo

Just in case anybody is interested, I believe his rookie contract was 5 years for 19.4mil, if he hit all of the incentives (which I seriously doubt he did).
