Mayhem breaks out in Buffalo


Looks like Chafie pulled a Scott Boris and got Aaron Maybin some pretty decent chedda.  Aaron is in Buffalo and will join them on the practice field.  Details haven't been released except the fact that he can earn up to $25 million with this new 5 year deal.  I hope he has a great rookie season.  That means that 2 PSU Alums got paid today and yes.............there's no flags on the field!!!!!!!

Maybin signs with Buffalo

How could Nixon know so little about Watergate and so much about football ?

He screwed himself

with the jacked up caption and two posts….

What a game!

the only way they stopped him from having about 25 sacks in that game alone.

Chafie and Aaron

Chafie gets his percentage for being Aaron’s agent and of course Aaron gets the salary. Cha Ching!

Don't forget Lavar

I bet a player’s publicist gets at least a small cut of their NFL pay.

I'd bet against that in this case

Maybin: Lavar, you’ve been a huge help, what is your percentage?
Lavar: Son, please. Do you even know how much of Dan Snyder’s money I’ve banked?

I'm glad this saga is finally over, it was starting to get embarassing

I don’t know who is really at fault for this. I don’t see Mayhem holding out for more cash, so that would lead me to believe it was Chafie.

by dawsonPSU10 on Aug 21, 2009 5:01 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Agents do as their clients tell them to. If Aaron would have told Chafie to get a deal done before camp started it would have been done. Agents who don’t listen to their clients don’t have clients for very long.

by RNF18 on Aug 21, 2009 6:24 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Players have the final say, but they listen to their agents' advice.

And it all boils down to cost-benefit analysis, like everything else. Here, Maybin waiting just long enough to get as much money as possible, but not so long as to endanger his chances of playing this year. Plus he got to miss training camp. Good for him. I’m surprised more players don’t wait until this time of year to sign.

Crabtree, on the other hand, is just an egomaniacal toolbag.

Do I know what rhetorical means?

What's a toolbag?

Is that akin to a doucheabag?

A toolbag

…is something tools go into. Variations include toolbox or toolshed.

Its an insult that you pull out when regular ol’ tool won’t apply. It adds a twist of innuendo.

hehe yah something like that

it’s what you call someone when you’re not sure about the range of the anti-profanity rules. I had douchebag written at first, but reconsidered. :-)

Is d-bag really profanity though?

We really need a list of what is over the line or not.

Crabtree was holding everything up

The guys behind Mayhem signed but Crabtree hadn’t (still hasn’t) signed yet, so they were waiting for a ceiling on what they could get.

Poz and Maybin together should be pretty interesting

Too bad Buffalo’s gonna eat turf this season. Them and Oakland and the Jets and the Texans.

Texans will break .500

Count on it.
