Better than a guy that can’t stay healthy and is getting paid more.

He’s a net negative so it’s actually bad that’s Dylan is playing.

In all seriousness, I am starting to think the Bills’ bye week might be the time Terry starts making decisions on the Sabres.  

What's going to happen is Terry is going to get bombarded with all the fury over his terrible Sabres franchise and because Terry can't handle that, he'll force Adams to sign Tuch to whatever because Terry will think it generates good news and Adams will do whatever he's told.

That’s definitely possible.  I think this bye week brings changes to the Sabres, Bills, or both.

This is the most likely outcome. But there's a part of me that remembers O'Reilly. If Tuch says the wrong thing or looks like he's lost the love (thus far he hasn't - he still says he wants to be here), then Terry's purse strings tighten up instantly. He traded ROR before that bonus kicked in to avoid paying him. He could flip on a proverbial dime and demand Tuch gets moved.

Sadly, through 3 games, one of their best players has been in full self-preservation mode. He should be playing like mad in a contract year --- but he isn't which leads me to believe he's really isn't interested in the open market, just in getting the deal done with the Sabres. He doesn't look like he's auditioning for the league. He looks like he's settling in and waiting out the Adams Gravy Train payout.
