Will the Buffalo Bills Lose Cornerback Jabari Greer?

The Buffalo Bills have one big decision to make this offseason. Playmaker cornerback Jabari Greer is coming off one of his best seasons yet in his career. He has made it known that he wants to get paid with the normally used, "I've got to do what's best for my family" line.

Bottom line is Greer should get his payday considering the work he's put in and the results that we have all seen. The kid can play, and he's in the prime of his career.

A lot of analysts think he could receive a contract close to Corey Webster of the Giants. That deal was a five-year, $43.5 million deal with a $5 million signing bonus.

If the Bills are smart, they should do one of two things. 1. Not resign Angelo Crowell and use that money to cushion the deal that they could offer to Greer, or 2. Hit Greer with the franchise tag and keep him one more year until Leodis McKelvin really has soaken up the NFL game.

McKelvin did play pretty well toward the end of the season, but still—there is no problem with having three good corners rather than two.

Whatever the Bills decide to do, I hope Greer has a successful career whether it is in Buffalo or any other team lucky enough to sign him...unless that team is the Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots, or the New York—J-E-T-S SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS.
