Wrong
It was discussed pages back
If you are going to try and make me look silly, please at least read the threads progression.
Believe it or not, I took the time to try and give you folks a perspective of where Buffalos head was at and what the circumstances were that this trade even occurs.
It was also discussed he was given every chance to succeed in THIS 'new change of scheme' going BACK to a 4-3.... and he couldnt figure out a way to sniff the field.
I dont understand how even if you dont agree - how can you argue that the Bills wanted this guy gone bad enough they are willing to eat his bonuses while you guys pay his base?
Plain and simple. 
black and white.
It was worth it from a team perspective to move on from him.
If you think picking up teams problems (and its not like we are talking a vet min contract here) is 'fleecing' then...ok i guess?
That DOESNT mean he will be YOUR problem... but it also doesnt mean he wont.
Just the same way I understand you guys think you have a good D that could benefit if he gets his shiznit together.
NOT ONCE did I say it was a dumb gamble, or it was stupid... nothing of the sort.
Simply, its a gamble.
As NYCJAG stated, if you can find a way to fit it in where it wont hurt ya, give it a whirl and see if he sticks.
But this talk like the Bills got ripped off and didnt know what they had or how to work with him so now hes going to step right in and be a stud just seems premature.
But all of a sudden I'm being accused of being butt hurt and needing reassuring?
And im not.... but even if I was, the Bills D gave up 47 yrds rushing yesterday
He wasnt exactly missed, so in that regard at least we didnt have a drop off once he left town.... which i will admit I'm happy about bc you DONT make this trade if he was making any sort of difference for the team.
