I'm sencing next years 2 first round picks are going to be used on QB and WR.

Would have been perfect for the future drafting Robinson, Lamp, Top 3 QB, top 20 WR.

Good, too many injuries and too much money. Get a WR in free agency.

[Night Train]

This only helps Whaley and his scouts out the door.


Why would they ever pick up his option now ? He's still not healthy.

[TacklingDummy]

I'm so pissed knowing we could have Robinson, Lamp, top 3 QB and top 20 WR, the future was set and the Bills blew it.

Looks like 17 will turn into 20+.

And now Dawkins, ugh the future was set.

Seems right.

Why commit $13 million next season to a guy recovering from surgery. If he plays well franchise him for $15 or sign him long term. If he doesn't play well we dodge a $13 million bullet.

[The Toe Show]

Man, they gotta fire Whaley then too.

But they can tag him and bag him, so not a done deal yet.

A motivated Sammy should be a good thing next year.

Yeah, I'm so glad we didn't take Mike Williams. I would be perfectly fine with the bills avoiding Clemson players entirely from here on out... Bust U...

Ding ding ding

This is the right move. If he plays well enough we can tag him or negotiate a new deal

If we give him $13 M assured, he will sit the first half of the season and try to flash in the second half. Now it's perform or gtfoh.

This doesn't mean they are moving on from him entirely; the means they just are not exercising the 5th year option that will pay him $13 million, and that's smart. I would expect they will sign him to an extension if his foot is good. This is a smart approach.

You need to have someone hide your electronics, and then wash down a few Zanax's with a 6 pack. Just relax!

[Historian]

So now he has every incentive to rehab himself into a breakout year.

If he fails....see ya.

And Whaley is not the only one who should get the ax over a failed Sammy.

If I were McDermott, I would tell Pegula that the medical staff can be shown the door right after the scouts.
