Bills stupidity costs them an upgrade.
One of the tools in deleoping a team is using free agency to build your team up. With a weak free agent market former Indiapolis Colt’s weak side linebacker Cato June got a contract that the Bills could have easily matched.
The report is on June’s contract, reported by Pro Football Talk, is that June’s contract gave him a two million dollar signing bonus, one million base salary, and a two million dollar roster bonus. Totaling for this year five million. Good free agent linebackers get a five million base salary.
The fact is that the Bills blew it. They lost Fletcher-Baker to free agency, and Takeo Spikes ability is in question. Yes, they do have Keith Ellison, but they could have saved him to replace Spikes if he is not the old TKO.
I could not believe it when I saw the report. A guy on a Superbowl winning team getting a contract like that. That is why you save your money in free agency, because there is always one quality player that fall in free agency, and becomes a steal.
There is one huge glarring problem with this organization, and that is foresight. For some reason they cannot be content with looking down the road. This has been the same philosophy, since Bill Polian was fired. The problem is pretty eveident, and that is Ralph Wilson. I hate to say it Mr. Wilson, but you are not getting that Lomabadi trophy before you pass away. The only way is do something out of a In Living Color skit. Instead of Bob Hope it would be keep ralph alive.
