Two things, Nubs:
1. Nobody wants to play in Buffalo. I know that money talks, but seriously, nobody wants to play in Buffalo. The story a year or so ago was that nobody wanted to come to Miami, but what's funny is that if you remember when Buffalo signed Mario Williams to that crazy contract, the narrative was "See? Players WILL come to Buffalo!" It was considered an important signing for the simple reason that a big name player actually chose to sign with the Buffalo Bills. Never mind that he's not that great and they paid him probably twice what anyone else offered, players will go to Buffalo now!
Sure, players WILL go to Buffalo -- if you grossly overpay them with a ten figure contract. But that leads to point 2....
2. Ralph Wilson is a cheapskate. Ralph and Mike Brown are probably furious over the provision in the CBA that forces teams to spend beyond the new salary floor.
