Bills | Hangartner contract details

Wed, 04 Mar 2009 14:17:17 -0800

Updating a previous report, Mark Gaughan, of The Buffalo News, reports the Buffalo Bills have signed OG Geoff Hangartner to a four-year deal. Hangartner will make a $1.9 million base salary in 2009, $2.35 million in 2010, $2.55 million in 2011 and $2.8 million in 2012.

4 years/9.6 million

:confused:

I think he was worth that to us. Shame to lose him.

Don't underestimate the power of opportunity.

He probably wants to start, he won't walk in week one here over Kalil starting Center. Even RG he'd have to battle for here.

Probably. Remember how his agent stopped talks with us before FA began? Makes you wonder if getting a starting gig was the line in the sand.

At that price we definately could've kept him, I agree though that it was probably more about opportunity than money for him. The real question is how the hell did Frank Omiyale get 4 years 12-14 million with one career start :confused:

HE was quoted as saying he will be earning more in this contract that he ever imagined to see in his entire life. Pretty sure that he has some nice bonuses tied in there. In addition almost everyone has confirmed that it was the starting role that he was after and that the money was an after thought, it seems unless we could of granted him to start at RG we never stood a chance at retaining him.

yea. It sucks that we finally got line depth and it all ran away from us as soon as we got it. The challenge now will be whether Maguzu can keep turning these guys like Schwartz and Bernadeau into solid depth, ala Dante Scarnecchia.

Hangartner probably knew his best fit was at center anyway, and that position is firmly within the grasp of Kalil. I thought he was better there than guard.

I guess being a starter was worth more than the money?? Im confused

yes.

he wanted to be a starter. wasn't going to be one here. he went somewhere that he could be. he will never know how good he could be unless he is given the chance. in buffalo he gets that chance. good for him.

no one likes to be behind the lead dog for long.

Considering Omiyale got 14 million for 4 years from Chicago and had one start in his career, you can count on the fact that Hangartner got more than that with all his starts and experience. I expect with his signing bonus, any roster bonuses as well as incentives likely to be earned, he will get closer to 4 or 5 million per year.

    • If we don't extend him, there is no way another team would offer him more than a one year $10m prove it deal lol. 
    • He isn’t but looking at what those guys are getting paid, paying him what he’s making now wouldn’t have been terrible, they should have and still should be looking at pairing some guys with brown to form a pretty dominant d line 
    • The Bryce hate is nearly laughable.  He looked like garbage the first two games, but has really, really shown improvement and growth.  People who know football are taking notice.  Will Bryce ever be Arron Rodgers, Farvre, Manning or any other hotshot gunslinger?  No, but I think he is a smart football player who has survived a lot more than most other QB's would have after 2.5 years.  So long as this injury doesn't linger I think you will see legitimate growth over the next two years, with a big leap coming next season. Reich and Brown not working together, Duce causing trouble behind the scenes.  Starting WR's of Mingo and Chark.  No legitimate scheme for the OL.  Fitterer's general incompetence. An owner who was desperate for attention.  How did Zac Wilson, Mariota, Winston, Tribuski, Rosen, Lawarence, Fields, Jones, Pickett, and Richardson fair after 2.5 years?  We see what happens when the Texans have not given Stroud the support. The 2018 draft had great talent, they just needed to mature, hell we wasted two of the top three drafted that year.  Outside of Allen, Mahomes, Jackson, Burrow, or Drake Maye, I'm not sure I really would want any other 1st round QB drafted in the past 10 years? RELAX......  Bryce is our guy as we grow as a team.  The only other option I currently see is maybe a buy low draft pick on Drew Allar if he falls to the third round or lower. Bryce is going to be extended.  He won't get Prescott money which would benefit our team going forward.  A mid range extension like Darnold or Baker got may be just the thing this team needs to keep growing.
