Don't forget about Willis.

[patmoran2006]

If you don't think this team already has enough problems.. I hope nobody forgot that Willis is represented by Drew Rosenhaus, and he made it quite clear last year Willis is going to want a pay raise.

I'm not questioning whether he deserves it and if so for how much.. But I have a very crappy feeling this is going to become a MAJOR ISSUE prior to Training Camp.

After last season, no way he deserves it. First let's see his legs continue to move after he's been hit.

How on earth could any of us ever forget that our star HB is represented by the biggest a**hole in all of professional sports?

Maybe Rosencock and clients have learned a valuable lesson after last season? Ok highly doubtful but it was a nice thought.

Re: Don't forget about Willis.

i am NOT debating on whether he deserves it or not.. I am telling you that its a thing that's going to need to be addressed..

He isn't going to ask for spit after the crap season he had

Re: Don't forget about Willis.

good point ice, he aint asking for anything this season. he need to put up numbers to ask for more $$$$$ it would be nice to see him get back to form and have a coach give him the ball

Oh I doubt that. If he is stupid enough to declare himself as the best HB in the entire league you know he is looking to get paid.

how much do you wanna bet?

Re: Don't forget about Willis.

He's run for over 2375 yards and I believe 18 tD's his first two seasons.. and I think in his mind he truly thinks he's one of the best RB's in the NFL..

In his mind he's proved Buffalo taking a chance on him in the draft paid off.

He's only scheduled to make $732K in salary this year and $905 next year, the last year of his contract.

I'll take bets with anyone willing that he holds out if he doesnt get a pay raise..

AGain, I am not saying he does or does not deserve it.. I am saying that this is going to become an issue, IMO

ummm, he has a whole bunch of bonuses and other incentives in his contract. It was totally incentive laden when TD signed him to it.

exactly.. I hate Rosenhaus but he's well aware Buffalo is in very good cap shape and that his "client' is a top five RB, at least in his mind..

His stats dont warrant Top 10 RB pay.. But you have to admit, they do warrant a pay raise.

All we can do is hope they will be reasonable. Given what happened last season w/Walker & Owens, maybe, just maybe, they can be sensible.

Can you create anymore *****ing and whining posts? your dislike of the Bills offseason is well beyond spam according to the TOS

Re: Don't forget about Willis.

Since he's signed thru '07, I'm not worried about it being an issue this year.

Next year is a different story. Just IMO...he doesn't play in Buffalo longer than his first contract unless Ralph breaks the bank on him.
