Day to Day
Bills officially have 5 days to match the Patriots offer to Gillislee. That makes tomorrow the 23rd as the drop dead date.
This.I'm not a huge Blount fan but it's hard to argue his production. He was a team guy and repeatedly said how much he enjoyed playing for the Pats. Again good luck to him.
If the Bills match I don't think BB ups the offer. I wonder if the offer is still there? It gives Blount a few days to sign it if so. I think LG likely realizes he should've taken the offer.So if the Bills match, do they go back to LG? Does LG want to come back now?? This will be interesting to see if NE raises it's offer to LG or hit the draft for a RB. Does NE turn to Lynch and Seattle now?

No on Lynch, please
I thought if they matched the offer that was the end of it and he was given the contract by the Bills. At least that is how it worked last year for the Broncos and Anderson. I don't think there is the back and forth like contract negotiations.

Welcome to the Pats Gillislee. It's official. NFLN reported it.
With the Bills declining to match the Patriots' two-year, $6.4 million offer sheet to running back Mike Gillislee, this means the Patriots now have Gillislee, James White, Dion Lewis, Rex Burkhead, D.J. Foster and Brandon Bolden at running back. It's a crowded stable and likely means the door is closed on LeGarrette Blount's return.
According to Mike Giardi, Gillislee has been working out hard this off season and is a rock solid 219 lbs.
Because of his paycheck, he will be the #1 running back, but will have to earn it.
Giardi is also reporting that there are indications that the Bills will NOT match the Patriots offer, so Gillislee will be a Patriot pretty quick.
Wasn't the deadline to match 4 p.m. today?
