Well, he'll be here for his rookie contract at least.

Is Parker that unreasonable though? Jairus got the contract he deserved. I don't remember if he had Peter's too, but he deserved what he got in Philly and has been great. It's more about the bills not paying than Parker being an idiot.

Don't have to worry about that for 5 years, he is slotted for now. There is nothing really to negotiate.

Just in time for the LA move.

Problem is, it's not just Bills payers... Ndamukong Suh and Michael Crabtree are both Parker clients, among many others that have held out (or, in Jairus' case, had an owwie).

If Watkins is a holdout, we'll likely know why...

That is crap!

If you read enough here, you would know that the City of Buffalo is on a resurgence.

In 5 years, this city will be as relevant as it was in the 60's.

I think the steel industry is coming back.

Why would anyone want to leave?

Wasn't Watkins a Bills fan growing up? I thought I saw that somewhere a couple months ago.

It's like Toronto without the fish farms.

That was before the new CBA was signed. The rules are different now. We already know what Watkins will make. He will sign a fully GTD 4-year, $19,935,603 deal with a $3,624,655 '14 cap number. His signing bonus should be $12,618,620. If they pick up his option for the 5th year, it will be the transition tag number for that year.

That's it. It is locked in, there really is no negotiating to do with the new CBA.

Actually I did know that.

That's true that the CBA is different now, but I don't put anything past Parker... Hope his feet don't start hurting for half the season, like Jairus' did...

The bio-informatics/medical industry is coming to Buffalo.

Fixed it.

Haaaa! So there! What's to worry. Plus the dude grew up a Bills fan.
