K-9 Posted March 13, 2015 Report Posted March 13, 2015 All you ever hear about is leverage this and leverage that. You know what you end up with if you only do contracts when a player has a lot of leverage? A league full of players that don't want to play for you. Taking care of McCoy served two purposes... Make him feel better about a shocking trade and give yourself some cap space. If it made other guys think "hey, they take care of their own" then it's an added bonus. Good take. I question Grantland's thinking simply because he doesn't once mention the other side of the ledger: McCoy's unique talent and status at the position. There's Peterson, McCoy, and Murray. And as much as he made had to stretch to include a TRADE in his list of FREE AGENT deals, where is his take on the Eagles shelling out $51.5m with $27.5m guaranteed to the RB position yesterday? Grantland lost some credibility by excluding that gem by Chip Kelly. I think he's an Eagles shill. GO BILLS!!! Quote

Brawndo Posted March 13, 2015 Report Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) @AdamSchefter: Oh boy: Bills reached agreement on 1-year deal with WR Percy Harvin, per source. Buffalo spending bills; add Harvin, McCoy, Incognito. BOOM Edited March 13, 2015 by BRAWNDO Quote
Iron Crotch Posted March 13, 2015 Report Posted March 13, 2015 Harvin is a great athlete, but there is a reason he is on his 4th team already. He can't run routes. He has to operate as a "utility knife" to add value - returner, end arounds, a little bit of slot receiver.... Still a good signing though if it is only for 1 year. Quote

Buffalo spending bills; add Harvin, McCoy, Incognito. BOOM He will add a level of excitement to play calling not seen here in more than a decade. I say why not. That has to open things up route-wise for Sammy if Harvin is in the backfield. Quote

Harvin was a huge reason the Seahawks won the Super Bowl. While I'll agree he's not the kind of guy I'd want around long-term, on a one year deal I think he'll be on his best behavior and if Roman has a single creative bone in his body, he'll be able to use Harvin to create all kinds of mismatches and disguised playcalls. I love the move. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted March 13, 2015 Report Posted March 13, 2015 This is fine, but another guard please. Quote

qwksndmonster Posted March 13, 2015 Report Posted March 13, 2015 Cool, I guess. We'll go from Spiller to Harvin for the home run threat. It'll be interesting to see what kind of offense gets cooked up with Watkins/Harvin/McCoy/Woods That's a good set of weapons. Quote
K-9 Posted March 13, 2015 Report Posted March 13, 2015 He had a full article on the trade which discussed this. Didn't know that. Thanks for the tip. He's still remiss in not mentioning how STUPID the Eagles are or maybe he just hasn't looked at it yet. Regardless, what they committed to the RB position yesterday, not to mention the $3m Sproles collects, puts them at the top of dumb moves in free agency imo. GO BILLS!!! Quote

Brawndo Posted March 13, 2015 Report Posted March 13, 2015 Per Omar Kelly, yes that Omar Kelly, the Fins are on the verge of re-signing Clay. Altough he has been wrong before. Quote

I'll be pretty disappointed if that happens. I'm not crazy about huge money for Clay, but I do think he'd be a really nice addition to the offense. Edited March 13, 2015 by TrueBluePhD Quote
IKnowPhysics Posted March 13, 2015 Report Posted March 13, 2015 Who are these Bills and what did they do with the real Bills? Our new Bills are cheeky and fun. The old Bills are cruel and tragic... which makes them not Bills, at all, really. Weee little Bills. Quote

TrueBlueGED Posted March 13, 2015 Report Posted March 13, 2015 Carucci reporting no offer sheet will be made to Clay today, but they still plan to make one. They have to be thinking the Dolphins are bluffing with the leaks they want to re-sign him, right? I get that they want to get Clay a little cheaper without the threat of the transition match, but given the cap space the Dolphins freed up in the Stills trade, I think there's a reasonable chance we get caught with our pants down by continually delaying. Quote
Hoss Posted March 13, 2015 Report Posted March 13, 2015 I don't think the Dolphins are bluffing... I think Clay's agent is bluffing. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted March 13, 2015 Report Posted March 13, 2015 I don't think the Dolphins are bluffing... I think Clay's agent is bluffing. Good point. I'm still worried though. ...and now I find myself wondering why I care this much about a tight end not named Gronk or Graham. Quote

Hoss Posted March 13, 2015 Report Posted March 13, 2015 BUST @WGR550: RT @NBCdianna: Not so fast on Percy Harvin to the Bills, 49ers could be making a play per sources. She also reported that Suh was going to get $60 million in his first year... And that Orakpo was going to Atlanta. Quote

So is the twittersphere responsible for all of these wrong breaking news signings? Everyone can wait to break news, so they run with whatever they get, be damaged their sources?
