Stevie Johnson Contract Talks Heating Up, Per Report

Does it require us to reach a higher salary floor? Is the only downside that it costs the team more money to have a larger overall roster salary? I’m wondering why teams wouldn’t roll over cap space each year.

So feb 28

February 28.

so that would make me assume they will be rolling that cash over. Even if you take signing Williams out of the mix, they will be pushing cap space just to resign Stevie, Chandler, Bell and extending Freddie’s deal. Then add on another 5-8 million for rookie contracts, and its tight to sign any fa’s without the 2011 cap rollover option

I’ll take La Nova’s anytime-:)

Including gift certificates to LaNova’s is far from an insult. I would take that all day everyday.

Hes been a great player when healthy and loyal to the club. Hes been a favorite of mine for years and I would that jersey with pride, and crutches ( couldn’t resist ).

great to see progress! Finally!

Rec btw.

there is some sort of divine or super-natural plan behind Stevie’s drops against Pittsburgh and New York. Had he caught the Pittsburgh ball, the Buffalo Bills would likely not have Marcell Dareus on the roster. And since the drop against the Jets kept us at 6 wins instead of 7, we are drafting at the 10th overall spot this year. Perhaps the Bills are destined to draft someone very important at #10 in 2012.

I feel good things happening to the Bills, and I think the plan is falling into place.

He’s a playmaker, one of the few we have. There is absolutely no reason to let him go.

So we need a receiver like Stevie who, even though he does drop big passes, makes as many big plays to balance them IMO. I have to look at the whole and not the pieces :he is a threat to D-backs and has been productive in the CHIX system (the only Bill to have back-to-back 1,000 yard seasons) despite being the primary receiver thus drawing the coverage overtop from the safeties or facing some of the best corners in the league (Revis, Flowers, Nmadi etc.)

Also, The Bils have taken the time to develop him and let him grow so why cut him loose now when he is beginning to really make progress and show his true potential and ability. Lock him up and get someone to compliment him and take the pressure off and then we can debate if his lack of production in clutch situations is a problem. As it stands, presently, he is our only wide out who I beleiving makes us more than a running offense

If buffalo lets stevie walk your in a big predicament at wr. You now have david nelson as your number one. You now.have to.aggresivly persue two big time wide outs. Lets say buffalo lands neither. Now you go into draft likly to spend a first and third on wideouts. Let alone alinating most of your fan base and team for letting stevie walk.

Ther

back to back 1000…….we all know adrea would of had 4 back to back seasons but he shared the field with amazing talent on his side( james lofton, don beebe, metz, thurman, and on….)

We don’t have the weapons on offense we did when we were going to four superbowls. Our offense in 2011 consisted of a perennial backup QB, Fred and Stevie. My thought, and I’m sure a lot of other thoughts, was that without Evans, Stevie would die a slow death at receiver since he would draw the primary corner and the double team. He didn’t and he exceeded my expectations. To just let him walk because “Andre would have done that and then some” would set this team back. We need progress not regression and that starts with keeping players who excel in our system

back to back to back 1000 yard seasons by like 5 yards didn’t he?

If they where close we would of heard negotiations.coming to a close. This was just exchanging offers.

All of this “has he grown up” stuff has got to stop. The man hasn’t caused a lick of trouble since he’s been here. Seriously, he made up some pretty amusing touchdown celebrations. That’s it! I found David Nelson’s football to girlfriend celebration much more lame and delay-of-gamey than anything Stevie’s e ever done.

I understand you want to get him at the right price only, and I understand your reasoning. I just don’t think his “character” is much of an “issue”. He seems like a really good dude, actually.

Players want guarenteed mainly due to this thing called injuries. I do not expect him to get top tier.money. Top tier 12-10 million. I am guessing stevie gets something like 8.5 a year.

NFL deals get done at the 11th hour is probably the better reason.

Good news!!!! GREAT NEWS!!!!!

There, fixed it for you :-)
