I did push hard on this deal. I hated to give up the assets that I did but I badly needed a top line guy and Wheeler is a monster. The fact that he is signed for a couple of more years helps.

I've given up a lot of my picks and prospects in recent weeks to try to set up Buffalo as a playoff team come next season. We shall see.

Thanks devo for working quickly with me on this deal. I wanted to get as many games with Wheeler as possible this year to see how he's going to fit with his linemates.
