Bills Updates: Pick Watch

Guarantees the Browns have 2 Top 20 picks.

Keep us the FUCK away from the 22nd pick. If we ended up with that pick, I'd fucking trade down to keep us away from that slot.

How is that even legal for the jets not to owe them compensation if he signs with them?

I think Marrone had an opt out clause in his contract.

Correct.

When Marrone signed he had written into his contract that he would have a 3 days window to leave if there was an ownership change. He exercised that option and took his 2015 salary from the Bills with him ($4 million dollars)

Sammy Watkins trade irked Marrone

Seeds of discontent were sown in Buffalo last May, when the Bills traded up to land wide receiver Sammy Watkins.
According to sources in the Bills' draft room, former Buffalo head coach Doug Marrone clearly was not happy with the trade.

Marrone was not in favor of Buffalo surrendering a future first-round pick to the Cleveland Browns in a trade that did not involve a quarterback, sources said.

There are different accounts of exactly how unhappy Marrone was, with some sources recalling he stormed out of the room, and other sources simply saying he walked out of the room.

Marrone, who opted out of his contract with the Bills this past week, is scheduled to meet Sunday with the New York Jets, the team many consider to be the favorite to hire him, sources confirmed to ESPN.

After his Jets interview, Marrone is scheduled to meet with the Atlanta Falcons on Monday, according to sources. The Chicago Bears also have been calling Marrone, though they have not yet set up an interview.

The Bills traded the No. 9 overall pick as well as first- and fourth-round picks in 2015 to the Browns in order to move up to the No. 4 pick to select Watkins.

Despite battling various injuries throughout his rookie season, Watkins had 65 catches for 982 yards and six touchdowns while playing all 16 games for the Bills (9-7), who posted a winning record for the first time since 2004.

Sensible... It's like having a certain amount of money to put into completely rebuilding a car and blowing a lot of it on rims right when you start the project.

Especially when the rims you bought are good but you could have gotten better without paying double the price.
