drum roll......a positive thread.....
10. Bryan Scott ($1,100,000) Scott could have been much higher on the list had he been able to stay healthy. Even so, he started nine games this year, tallying 81 tackles, a crisp nine per game. He also recorded two sacks and an interception while putting the team first, transitioning from safety to linebacker before a concussion forced him out of the lineup.
9. Jonathan Scott ($465,590) Started eight unspectacular games for the Bills at both tackle spots. His salary reflects his value on the roster, but Jonathan Scott performed admirably for less than $500K. Scott is a borderline NFL OL, much less a starter, but the starts he made at OT were invaluable for an offensive line in shambles.
8. Demetrius Bell ($404,220) Started eight games this year at left tackle, but injuries and penalties dogged the second-year lineman from the start. It was Bell's first action in an NFL uniform. His $400K salary is more than fair for the play the Bills garnered, and could be a steal if Bell finds a way to consistently contribute.
7. Eric Wood ($1,235,000) As a late first-round pick, Wood made good money for a rookie, but not an astronomically high number. He started 10 games before the lower portion of his leg was absolutely shattered on a play in Jacksonville. He was solid and consistent, and should be a stalwart of the Bills' roster for years to come provided his leg heals correctly. To put it in comparison, Jason Peters' cap value ($12.7M) was ten times Wood's value this year.
6. Jamon Meredith ($273,529) Played in eight games this year, starting four, including three of the Bills' six wins. He wasn't even on the team until the end of September, when he was signed off Green Bay's practice squad, yet did a good job at both right and left tackle for being such a raw prospect. His minuscule price tag pushes him ahead of Wood on the list.
5. George Wilson ($1,015,590) Buffalo's best-dressed player was also a special teams captain and started 12 games, with injuries to safeties and linebackers changing the makeup of the defensive backfield. He tallied four interceptions and 103 tackles, both numbers good enough for second on the team.
4. Paul Posluszny ($1,067,000) Despite missing four games with a broken arm, Paul Posluszny led the Bills in tackles this year with 110 (23rd in the league). He also had three interceptions, three forced fumbles, and defended nine passes while calling the plays for the defense.
3. Fred Jackson ($1,428,770) Jackson was the 49th-highest paid running back in the NFL this year. All he did was lead the league in all-purpose yardage with over 2,500 yards combined rushing, receiving, and returning - the fourth-highest total in league history. Yeah, I'd say he's underpaid.
2. Jairus Byrd ($740,000) Jairus Byrd comes in second, and I know I'm going to catch hell for this. He was the Bills' lone Pro Bowl selection, tied for the league lead in interceptions, and had a large part in two wins. He also only played in 14 games, starting 11, and recorded 33 tackles. You can't top the list from the training room!
1. Andy Levitre ($660,000) Levitre started all 16 games as a rookie at left guard, and even had to moonlight at left tackle on occasion. He helped Jackson break the 1,000-yard mark, and allowed one sack in the first two months of the season according to NFL Fanhouse. And he caught a really big fish.

At the end of the roman empire it was reported that the emperor was playing his fiddle. There are times I get the feeling that the Buffalo Bills are burning to ruin and the owner is just sitting there playing the fiddle.
The end may be nearer than many of us realize.
NFL = Roman Empire = alive and well.
Bills = remote province = ripe for takeover.

There has been endless speculation on the future of the Buffalo Bills once Ralph Wilson passes on. But I've heard little, if any discussion on the teams future in Buffalo after their current stadium lease expires following the 2012 season. If Ralph is still alive and in control of the team. Any thoughts?
the buyout of the lease is so miniscule that the 2012 date is no deterrent to leaving.
the stadium is old, the lease will be renewed, but for very short periods, no more than 5 years at a time.
any talk of a new stadium will only occur with a new owner.

is apparently working on who the Bills will sign. Additonally, apparently Tom Modrak is busily working on the draft, which will occur just a few weeks after free agency begins. One would think the Bills would want the new personnel team in place as soon as possible for the critical evaluation of the new talent the Bills must bring in this off season. How long does GM Nix need to evaluate their records? (I know he's interviewing coaches; I'd hope our GM could do two things at once.)
just for discussion purposes, it appears that Dick Jauron had a very heavy hand in final decisions. that Marv and Russ let him have his way.
John Guys job is to put a rating or grade on every current NFL player. He presents his list to the GM or person with FINAL SAY. wether or not they followed his advice, we don't know. wether or not his advice was any good, we don't know. wether or not the bills over or under pay the FA is probably NOT John Guys job. his job was to evaluate talent.

After retiring as a player, he became the quarterback coach for the Miami Dolphins in 2005–2006 and then, in January 2007, he was hired by the Dallas Cowboys as offensive coordinator. His influence made the Cowboys the 2nd best offense in the NFL making him an attractive head coaching prospect. Despite persistent offers from the Baltimore Ravens and the Atlanta Falcons, Garrett refused head coaching jobs and opted to remain in Dallas. His salary in the 2008 season will be close to $3 million and will be the highest paid assistant coach in the NFL.[4] With Garrett staying, some expect him to succeed Wade Phillips as the head coach of the Cowboys, though there is nothing within his contract to suggest this. On December 29th 2008 the Detroit Lions received permission to speak to Garrett regarding the teams head coaching vacancy according to ESPN sources. The Denver Broncos interviewed him in January 2009 as a possible replacement for recently fired coach Mike Shanahan. He was also a finalist for the St. Louis Rams head coaching position, to replace Jim Haslett, the interim head coach. Ultimately, he lost the job to Steve Spagnuolo after appearing a lock to become their next head coach. When word leaked that Garrett was flying to meet with the Rams, fans flooded the ticket office with angry calls.
he does have 4 pro bowl players on offense ( Austin(WR), Davis(OL), Gurode (OL) & Witten(TE).
he specializes in QB's....i do think he has done wonders for Romo.

"I am ecstatic to come to work for the New York Giants," Fewell said. "It's a good football team with good defensive players, and it is a franchise known for defense."

Keep this date in your calendars. This was heard on a radio station and as part of a certain Thurman Thomas weekly show, that the Buffalo Bills have big time news on 1/15/2010 that will impress the fans and be shocking.
Thurman would not go into the news on the radio, but I am guessing that perhaps this is tied to Coach Sal's report of Cowher being interested in the Bills. Maybe this is the date that they are targeting as the signing and turning around of the Buffalo Bills Franchise or the Ownership status and a heir taking over and keeping the team in buffalo.
merry Jan 15th eve.......it's so exciting.....i wonder what we will all get.....

We need Joe Logan, we need him to create another report. The threads have been lacking lately without him.

btw....he came out with a report late last night.....

it's a lock he gets franchise tagged. thats why N.E. traded seymour.......they couldn't do both. the tag number for DT's is very reasonable at only $6 mil. he has already said he wants a long term deal. no way one gets done before NE has to tag him.
