San Jose Bills Fan

How do you know this?

As reported by ProFootballTalk, Brent Grimes to the Dolphins: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/03/30/brent-grimes-strikes-deal-with-dolphins/

Spoken like a man with too much blood sugar.

The Raiders might be coming to their senses: http://profootballta...terest-in-kolb/ Adam Caplan reported that the Raiders have discussed signing Kolb, the free agent quarterback who was cut by the Cardinals this month. The issue may be that the Raiders, who have just $2.8 million in cap space, will want Flynn to restructure his contract as part of a trade from the Seahawks. If Flynn refuses, the Raiders may try to get Kolb to sign a deal that will cost less on their salary cap in 2013 than Flynn would cost under his current contract. Which doesn’t exactly instill a lot of confidence in Raiders fans about the wisdom of giving up more draft picks for Flynn. Which may mean signing Kolb is a better move.

There some good info in this recent thread: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/156539-any-compensatory-picks-coming-to-the-bills/page__hl__%2Bcompensatory+%2Bpicks

You would, having to carry around that huge big gulp. You'd better not let Bloomberg see you with that thing.

Sounds like a personal problem.

The right to arm bears? ?

A lot of crazy personnel decisions seem to revolve around quarterbacks. Look at Romo's contract extension with Dallas. My first reaction to that news was that Jerry Jones had finally lost his mind.

Agreed. It works real well.

This reminds me of that recent poster here who was going crazy every time someone referred to the draft as a "crapshoot." But yes, player evaluation is often an inexact science. Especially with quarterbacks who haven't played too much or who played on lousy teams. Absolutely agree and in answer to Buftex's question, I would personally hope that a Kolb signing would not change any draft plans the Bills have for a quarterback.

Hey, I'd rather sign Kolb than trade for Flynn. It wouldn't cost us a draft pick for one thing and he'd be a helluva lot cheaper for another. And thirdly a fair amount of people are assuming that Flynn is better than Kolb. But no one really knows if that's true. Based on those three factors, Kolb is the smart play.

I don't want to wait another year for a QB either. But besides Manziel and Bridgewater, AJ McCarron and Taj Boyd are also looking like high first rounders at the moment. And there are a few other highly-rated QBs as well.

I am stunned and disappointed.

Crayonz is all around us.

I'm trying to think of the players we pretty much know the Bills had an interest in: I believe Delanie Walker, obviously Manny Lawson and Fred Davis. Certainly they're not batting 1.000 but it's hard to say how many players they've actually approached. As I've said a few times this offseason, it seems like the Bills are being very disciplined about appraising players and sticking to their appraisals. Players will come to Buffalo to play under the Bills terms or not at all. It doesn't look like the Bills are willing to "throw in another $300-400,000 to get deals done. I think it's clear that the Bills are conducting things very differently this offseason on several fronts, another area being how tight-lipped and secretive they've been since the reorganization. Anyways, my view is that the Bills are being very disciplined.

What do you mean by the bolded? That Pettine is Pinocchio? I'm not following apparently. Dude you crack me up. Could you pm me with the information? I'd appreciate it.

For NFL news, PFT is as credible a source as there is. While they stick to their rumor mill format they have their own pretty well-credentialed staff and have broken plenty of big stories. Also Florio constantly writes about journalistic ethics (insert gratuitous Bradshaw joke here), particularly with regard to the proper attribution of stories and the proper citing of sources. Interestingly, when PFT broke the news that Fred Davis was returning to the Redskins, Florio attributed his information to "a source with knowledge of the situation." To the bolded, he escaped from his cell. Also funny that you asked this question on the heels of this post:

Yeah this year's draft is gonna be particularly interesting and exciting. The question is what is the effect if any that this movement of veteran QBs will have on the drafting of quarterbacks.

Takes one to know one!

Like some others here the guy I wanted as a FA TE was Brandon Myers. Here are the details of Myers' contract with the Giants: 3/16/2013: Signed a one-year, $2.25 million contract. The deal included a $1.5 million signing bonus. 2013: $725,000 (+ $25,000 workout bonus), 2014: Free Agent A 27 year old coming off an excellent season (79 receptions, 806 yards, 4 TDs) in spite of playing the entire year with a bum shoulder.

Do we have to berate you on this subject or can we do so generally? BTW, cue JBoyst in 3…2…1...

In case it's still not clear Fred Davis is said to have re-signed with the Redskins.

Excuse the phraseology but Buddy popped his cherry last year with a draft trade. And he's come under heavy criticism for being inflexible and you know he reads what's out there. I don't think the Bills will trade back but I wouldn't be that surprised if they did.

I remember when he came out of Michigan he was a really fast guy. At some point in his career just like with OJ Anderson, he morphed into a power back. With the Raiders he was a battering ram and a good one at that.
