I was sitting here thinking about why Bledsoe hasnt resturctured his deal yet...
as it stands right now, sometime in November, Drew is due a roster bonus that will either activate or deactivate the rest of his deal.
The Bills can give him a 2 million dollar bonus, and it will void the rest of his contract, and he will count 8 million against the cap.. OR if they want to keep him and activate the rest of his contract, they have to give him a 7 million dollar bonus.
Do you think that TD is waiting until the draft to see what kind of QB we get (ie.. a high round guy like rivers/rothlisberger) or a middle round guy (smoker, clausen, harris, ect)?
Because my feeling is, that if they grab a high pick qb.. drew is getting his 2 mill and is gone.. even if he is playing great.. at least they have negotiation power.. because of the kid behind him.. say rivers.. they can say.. drew.. your playing great.. we would like to keep you.. but it has to be at a more reasonable price, because we are paying the rookie alot of money.. really.. he may not have a prayer of staying past this year if they draft ben or rivers..
if they draft a mid round qb, like smoker.. they are in a much better position to keep drew.. but still, i think it would have to be under a renegotiated deal. i cant see them paying out a 7 million dollar bonus in november, unless he is playing better than he every has, including the 97 season.
