Why have the Bills not resigned Stevie Johnson?

by Steve

Seriously WTF are the Bills waiting for in not extending Stevie Johnson's contract? This shit better happen over the bye week. If SJ13 is not resigned by the Buffalo Bills I will have lost any remaining respect for this franchise.

The guy is clearly a stud, we plucked him out of relative obscure and have gotten a bargain of a player for the last 22+ games. If you consider he is only making $1.20 mil this season and about the same last year, even if he gets paid $7 or even $8 mil per (say 5 years $38 mil) it is like paying him for 7 years and $41 mil (cheaper than Evans).

The next twelve days or so are the absolute best time to get this guy to ink his name to a new 'tract. Neither the team nor the player need to worry about an opponent on Sunday and basically are on vacation. Is there one reason not to give this guy cash even if it means slightly over paying him?

This franchise is lucky to be 4-2 and are still the complete joke they have been for the past 11 years. I have absolutely zero confidence in Ryan Fitzpatrick and clearly the organization has zero faith in him either. If they did the guy wouldn't be a pending UFA in 13 weeks even though he is on pace for 36 td's 18 picks and 4,431 yards.

If OBD/Nix/Ralph had any confidence in ol' noodle arm wouldn't they have resigned him by now? I mean clearly they don't care about making the playoffs or improving the roster. They just slept through the trade deadline while the team has drastic needs at linebacker and wide receiver. Teams like the Raiders are busting moves all over the place acquiring talent (Curry didn't fit the 3-4 but who cares he is still clearly a talent and maybe needs a different system and the Palmer trade is abysmally terrible holy smokes) and busting moves. OBD YOU ALIVE?!?!

This team has the potential to make the playoffs very clearly ( I see them finishing 8-8). Although ol' noodle arm will only regress with the winds picking up and the temperature dropping the schedule and standings aren't an albatross. The team could use a kick in the ass and some new blood. At the very freaking least give Stevie Johnson some god damn cash, maybe throw some at Fred Jackson (2 more years 10 mil guaranteed) and flirt with a noodle arm extension. Someone please go over to OBD turn off Matlock and bring them some discounted McDonald's coffee to wake their asses up.

  1. Not to mention SJ Or Fitz havent said shit while scumbags like Chris Johnson hold out for Arab $$$$$$ and then gain 250 yard through 6 games. PAY THESE MEN, CHRIST!

  2. Steve you are so lost I can't even stand reading this bs. Talking shit about our qb who is on pace to have the best season stats wise in franchise history? Seriously, with all the filth we have had under center since Doug flutie you would think you would appreciate some success at the position. It was one big time error. Remember the comeback wins vs oak town and new England? Christ cut the guy some slack.

  3. If Janis thinks the Bills should unload Fitz it's probably the smart play. His unpopular wisdom approach to talent evaluation has been pretty successful in the past. I remember a couple years ago when everyone was high on Aaron Rodgers, Janis the contrarian would have none of it. Boy did the so-called 'experts' ever eat their words on that one

  6. Steve, you are legitimately embarrassing yourself. These comments are completely ridiculous. Who have they beaten? They just won the Super Bowl you idiot.

    Ryan Fitzpatrick is the quarterback of this football team for the present and future as far as I am concerned. There is no doubt Fitz can lead us into the playoffs and I think if we can build our defense more through the draft, we might be a year or 2 away from making a SERIOUS run with FITZ at the helm.

    GFY Steve

  8. Janis I dont blame you, I blame the tequila rose and it's ability to kill brain cells that is just as devastating as Rodgers ability to make things happen outside the pocket. Flip to the flop. tk
