A win/win situation for both us and Peerless. Peerless is only 26 years old. He has a good 5-8 years left in his prime. We don't need Peerless for 4+ years. We have about a 3 year run and then we need to decide on what we are gonna do for our future years.
Sign Price for 3yr-6 million, with a 5 million dollar bonus. He can be on the Bills during our run, and then in 3 years he can make a decision on where the team is heading, and if he wants to stay.
Structure it in this way
1st year- 1.5 million dollar salary- 3.17 million cap figure
2nd year- 1.5 million dollar salary- 3.17 million cap figure
3rd year- 3 million dollar salary- 4.67 million cap figure
After the 2nd year we can see how things are going, and both parties can decide on whether to extend a contract, play out the final year, or release/trade him. The 2 years will give Reed a chance to grow as a WR, and to see where our team is heading. After 2 years we'll have to decide on whether we want to kick in the 2nd part of Drew's contract which is HUGE. He'll have many options then, and it won't keep him stuck on a team that is going downhill. He'll make 6 million this year, and guranteed money of 8 million over 2 years. He'll only be 28-29 when we either extend him or part ways, and he can still get a huge contract to finish out his career.
He won't hamper our future cap if things don't work out. We need him at this point, and we could have him for the 2-3 years that we'll make our biggest run for a ring. He'll be able to sign another big contract, and the possibly of playing for another team while he's still in his prime. He can stay with us where he wants to be right now, and still be rewarded without hurting either of us in the pocket situation.
We can afford Price for 3.17 million for the next 2 years. That won't hurt our cap one bit. We'll still have plenty of money to sign players on defense. We'd have to get another replacement anyway, and that would cost us a good 1.5 million a year. I think Price is worth the extra 1.5 million a year. He's never injured, and he is a great compliment to Moulds. We need him more then some people think we do
