$10 million dollars...... Brandon Marshall.....for two 2nd round picks and lots of money leftover for free agents.
which would you rather have ??? (let's use buffalo's two 2nd round picks from last year and this years free agent signing)
Miami $10 mil (Marshall $10 mil)
or
Buffalo $10 mil (Byrd $750,000 , Levitre $666,000 , Andra Davis $2.2mil, Dwan Edwards $4.5mil, with $2mil leftover)
i like buffalo's hand.
The question is silly, these are for future picks. The fins aren't trading any current players.
Regardless, using your analogy, who would you rather have one of the top 2 or 3 receivers in the league or Roscoe Parrish and James Hardy?
Sounds different when you put it that way, doesn't it?

I know I have stated this before, but I really think Brandon Graham is going to Buffalo's pick. You pointed him out and its exactly what we need even though it is not seen by a lot of you on these boards.
Can be taught the OLB and be used as a DE on passing downs.
Listen To Me. We need him and I think the front office agrees. Do not be shocked when you here his name called Thursday.
We made this mistake last year.

+1 why trade a proven pro-bowler who had one less than spectacular year for an unproven rookie. thats not filling a hole, thats buying a lottery ticket. and for those of you who claim we have an abundance of talent at RB, Jackson is 29 and thats past most RBs' primes. its most likely downhill from here.
uticaclub had a good point too. we live a pretty sheltered life if we consider smoking a few joints gangster. maybe we're too quick to jump to conclusions about a kid from oakland
"Beast Mode" has carried 650 times in 3 seasons.
Jackson has only 425 carries in the NFL over 4 years. Not gonna count his carries in "NFL Europa".
So, he's pretty low mileage.

They are not in a hurry, that isn't how you build a team. We finally have a front office that will BUILD a team and that takes 2-3 years
Didn't Nix just try to trade for McNAbb?
-
...didnt we make the biggest offseason splash last year with Owens?
Turned out to be just a big splash in the toilet.
-
I know he's a bit smaller than the prototypical NFL QB, but he fits the Gailey mold. He had a pretty darn good career for WV. Don't know much about him, but what if...
I thought we were doen with the CG "mold" talk.
Really---Kordell Stewart and Tyler Thigpen. That's your looking for?
Holy sh*t, no.

You're better at the wild-assed theories doc. Remember how Lynch had to have been boozing-it up "in the bathroom" because no one saw him drinking that fateful night, unlike the countless other times he was caught bringing-in his own hooch?
But actually in this case, you don't have to go too far, seeing as how a tape the cops (who had pictures taken with Big Ben) were reviewing until they suddenly and wholly unexpectedly got called away, curiously went missing. Or how he ("read between the lines" of the accuser's words, if not the DA's, doc) paid off the accuser, who doesn't want a trial because it will only drag things out and not because he's innocent.
You're nothing if not (foolishly) consistent, doc. I could have written your reply for you. I guess I should call Lynch's victim a drunk crazy chick from now on.
Yeah--it's "crazy" to imagine a guy who is famous (infamous) for sneaking booze into his soda when he is publically drinking would yield few witnesses to his....boozing. You really can't understand this?? Of course you can--you're a bright guy.
As for the conspiracy--a tape of two people going into a bathroom in a bar (where they presumedly had some sort of sexual contact---and which is not in dispute) disappears. What do you imagine was on that tape---did they use one of those Erin Andrews "reverse peephole" cams??
When was this pay off?
I'd rather be "foolishly consistent" than one who makes stuff up or choses to rewrite history so they can rest better at night.

The way the DA put it...there wasn't enough evidence to prove "beyond a reasonable doubt" that Rothlesberger committed a sexual assault, and the victim wasn't ready to go through a public trial. I don't think Rothlesberger has exactly cleared his name. Let's see what the commish does.
The woman asked to have the charges dropped 2 weeks before the DA made his announcement not to charge.

a 3rd incident ?

That sounds a lot like libel.

Steelers President Art Rooney II was described as "furious" by some after watching a news conference from Milledgeville, Ga., Monday afternoon that detailed in graphic terms some of Mr. Roethlisberger's escapades with a drunken 20-year-old woman. Mr. Rooney later issued a statement that the organization will consider the "next steps in this process" after consulting with Mr. Goodell. Mr. Rooney said the commissioner will meet with Mr. Roethlisberger in the next few days.
___________________________________________
Mr. Roethlisberger took no questions from the gathered media of about 50. It was the second time in nine months he had read a statement from a podium at the Steelers facility in response to a sexual assault claim by a woman. However, while coach Mike Tomlin and personnel head Kevin Colbert stood in the front of the room in obvious support of their quarterback while he faced the media last summer, Mr. Roethlisberger stood alone Monday. He was sued last year by a woman in Nevada who claims he sexually assaulted her. He was not criminally charged in that case.
___________________________________________
Multiple Steelers sources indicated that Mr. Rooney is considering various types of punishment for his quarterback, including suspension from a game or games in 2010. It's also possible the NFL could take that decision out of Mr. Rooney's hands by issuing a suspension under the league's conduct policy.
In his statement, Mr. Rooney said:
"During the past few weeks I have met with Ben on a number of occasions, not only to discuss this incident but also to discuss his commitment to making sure something like this never happens again.
"The Pittsburgh Steelers take the conduct of players and staff very seriously. Ben will now have to work hard to earn back the respect and trust of Steelers fans, and to live up to the leadership responsibilities we all expect of him."

At this point I'm 90% sure he's guilty. JMO
"What Jimmy Harrison was doing and how the incident occurred, what he was trying to do was really well worth it," he said of Mr. Harrison's initial intent with his son. "He was doing something that was good, wanted to take his son to get baptized where he lived and things like that. She said she didn't want to do it." - Dan Rooney, on James Harrison hitting his girlfriend.
"Nearly three years ago, his marriage broke up, depriving Holmes of two adored sons. Driving through eastern Ohio after leaving them, he started firing a pistol at trucks. Before he was stopped, Holmes shot at a police helicopter and wounded a cop during a chase through woods." - TIME magazine, on the Steelers' Ernie Holmes, Dec. 8, 1975. He played for the Steelers until 1977.
(From Deadspin)
Yeah, those Rooney's don't stand for bad behavior.

My feeling is that Schobel has already informed them he plans on retiring. The Bills are waiting to announce it until a few days after the draft so that it will barely make headlines.
My guess is that it will barely make headlines right now. Why wait?
-
And....?
Who cares? The be all/end all goal of this football team should not be to make it to the conference championship game.
Bills fan of the millenium.

The Jets made it to the AFC Championship with a rookie QB. BTW, it was a 3 point game going into the 4 qtr. They had the #1 defense, in fact they were 32 YPG better than 2nd ranked D. They had the #1 scoring D. They have the best CB in the game, just ask Lee Evans and added another solid man corner. They had the #1 rushing offense with a rookie QB. They are now loaded at WR. To say that they are miles better than the Bills on the Oline is an understatement. They are on the other side of the pacific better that the Bills.
If you are not scared of the Jets than you are blinded by your fandom.
Great post. Why is it that so many feel the need to denigrate moves by other teams to justify their support for the Bills? Does anyone REALLY believe the Jets just got worse or are doomed because of the off-season moves made this far?? You're only fooling yourself (is it that easy?)if you do.
I don't roll on Shabbos. Sorry.

Might as well wait until he rapes a 3rd "crazy woman" before doing anything.
"Rapes"? Which one's are those now? Maybe you have some information that no one else has, doc?
If so, spill it. If not, then you've got to, for your own mental health, move on from your bitter betrayal by Mr. Lynch. Reality has to set in at some point....

This article came from a link that was inside of another article. The article pointed out that Cornwell talked about this at length when he was vying to become the NFLPA director, and no one wanted to really hear or grasp what he was saying. When I clicked the link to see what Cornwell's theory was, I thought it was interesting.
Cornwell has been saying this all along.
The players are being deluded by Smith, who is in over his head and stands to get his d*ck handed to him in the next year.
-
There won't be any suspension.
-
Very interesting. My suspicion is that this notion was endorsed and even planted with this "sports law firm" to disseminate as a message to the players. That message is: "we've covered every contigency and you have no viable options to our proposals".
Another example of why other sports owners wished they owned an NFL team instead.
-
But one more "overblown off-field problem" and he's facing an even longer suspension. The fact is that the team that knew him the best was unconvinced that he'll be able to stay out of trouble in the future.
Is this what you thought when the Raiders gave Moss away for a 4th?
-
The idea of giving a coach and FO 1 season to turn around 10 yrs of dysfunction and sorry drafting is brilliant. That's worked out for...
...well hell, I don't know who it's ever worked out for, but it sounds like a hell of an idea. I'm for it.
Falcons........Saints......Cards maybe

Lynch should fire his guys and hire Holmes' and Roethlisberger's guys. So, when do those sit downs happen with Sir Roger, again?
You may now stop whining.

Fair enough, I more take exception to the foregone conclusion that we will be running some college style offense, and therefore need tebow or vick type logic.
I don't think we would run anything like that. Besides, how did CG's college style offense work in college
-
I fixed it for you
Really??
Why is anybody still referring to Chris Brown as "the media"? He's a Bills' PR guy.
-
Hustler.
-
all I'm sayin is that for all this pistol this mobile qb that talk, some of gaileys best work came with a traditional style QB, therefore its not a foregone conclusion that we will def. require a spread option QB to run the "pistol" offense, because we don't know if he will run that or not.
All I'm pointing out is that if Gailey looked best when he had a HOF QB running the offense then it's hard to know what, exactly, CG has ever "molded" if all he is otherwise left with are the careers of "Slash" and Thigpen, which speak for themselves.
So much for a second for Lynch

Unfortunately, that was just a personal opinion on Reid's part. His bosses were already shopping him.
