http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4372468 Bring us Maybin already!

He probably started AA (sounds like to me) and cut out the reefer also... same story no more crave for oreos and ben and jerrys

Wood sounds like he may be the real deal. Very exciting to have a mean guy finishing plays out there.

Everyone involved in the decision to retain Jauron as coach gets a 0 Everyone else, maybe a 5; there have been good and bad signings.

I find the ) "do not resussitate" thing a little offputting as it pertains to the recently deceased Linda B.

Aaron Maybin AND Shawn Nelson as well as Youboty... all headed to the Big House soon, clearly.

Sadly, if Peters had taken a like attitude, he would have earned the plaudits of the posters here. But IMO Russ and the FO would have been screwing him still, and making him play as the lowest paid LT in the league, and patting themselves on the back. The more I think about it the more I agree with JPs stance and the worse I feel the FO handled it. Let's go LW, let's see what you can do at LT! Fitz, we are counting on you from about game 3 onwards!

That would be funny if it weren't so likely true... I hope he is Ed Reed too, my worry is that Ed Reed would not be Ed Reed, in the Bills system and with the Bills awful coaching...

Jason I will add only one thing to this debate. It is their own not there own You keep making this grade school grammer error over and over and it is really annoying. Please try to change that from here as it certainly lends credence to Deans assessment of you.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots nose tackle Vince Wilfork said Saturday he won't let his contract dispute with the team affect his play on the field. Wilfork, in the last year of a six-year contract he signed as a first-round draft pick out of Miami in 2004, said his future with the Patriots is "out of my control," referring to off-field negotiations. Vince Wilfork, NT New England Patriots 2008 Statistics Games/Starts: 16/16 Tackles: 66 Sacks: 2 He and his agent, Kennard McGuire, are upset that negotiations on a contract extension have been fruitless. Players drafted in Wilfork's position -- 21st in the first round -- are no longer allowed to sign contracts longer than five years. "I will not let that (the negotiations) interfere with what I have going on in the field," Wilfork said. Wilfork, who's 6-foot-2 and 325 pounds, is considered vastly underpaid by NFL standards. He has a base salary of $800,000 this season, but incentives will increase that to about $2.2 million, still far short of the going rate for established starting nose guards. He has started 77 of 80 regular-season games in the past five years and in 2007 was named to the Pro Bowl and AP's All-Pro second team. In 2008, he was named a defensive captain and was second on the team in tackles. Wilfork, unlike several Patriot veterans, has been present for each Patriot training camp workout thus far. "If I'm healthy, I'll practice," he said. That's not to say he loves the two-a-day practices coach Bill Belichick has scheduled for the first week of training camp. "Two-a-days are tough," he said. "We don't like it, but we're going to get something out of it, and we're going to be a better football team." Belichick has made no secret of his desire to continue to have Wilfork man the middle of his 3-4 defense. In a press conference Friday, he described Wilfork as a smart, strong and instinctive player. "He has a good feel for blocking schemes and what the offense is doing, as well as having a lot of physical talent," Belichick said. "He's real good at everything. Some guys are better run players. Some guys are better pass players. I think Vince can play on all downs." Whatever happens, Wilfork is determined not to be a distraction and not to go onto the field upset with the situation. "Then my teammates can't trust me to do what I have to do," he said. "I would not put my teammates in that predicament."

"The guys are working really hard, they really like each other, lets have some time off"

Maybe the kid was being a super annoying pain in the ass. I have seen that among the American kid population. The way you describe it, sounds like more info would be needed prior to making a judgement. They are at practice to practice, there are appropriate times when they DO sign autographs for everyone.

Society is what has turned everything into a money issue. Man is territorial from way way back to thefirst fish that cam out of the ocean - he who has the biggest tree gets the best mate and has the best chance to procreate and perpetuate his genes. The biggest tree in modern terms, is the most money. Nothing is going to change that.

What is best for THEIR (sp) client IS to get the most money... am I missing something here?

It is more the DJ quote about it that is annoying really.

If it is Venus playing against Sharapova most Americans want the American to win regardless of whether they are from LA or not. There are very very few Canadians playing in the NFL I would think that most Torontonians will be made aware that Mace is a canuck playing for the bills. and thus, rout for him.

Thats the sad part to me that we draft in round 2 a guy who has a serious surgery requiring injury at all. Enough already though. Mr. Fewell, DJ, you got your man! Hopefully one of you will still be around by the time he plays a down. Or maybe, hopefully not.

Maybe its the perpetual 7-9 seasons

Ellis was healthy just did not play despite injuries to Shobel etc. Bowen was the injured rookie

Hes in the UFL now, competing against JP! Best of luck to him

Let's hope Byrd comes back in 6-8 weeks as advisertised, and can contribute this year. I see him as a year 2 contributor but as you point out I have been wrong many times in the past. Let's hope Donte can "playmake" this year from the FS position too and it becomes moot (except for who we could have had with that pick).

I have to think the FO is pretty happy and satisfied with LW and his performance; he has been adequate which supercedes many other recent signees by a long shot. As a RT I think he does fine, let's see what happens with him at LT.

If he had it for his entire senior year, maybe they should have known and investigated that? Before drafting him? Or...? And from an earlier post: "We all remember how that impacted Sammie Morris' career, and it zapped CIN '04 #1 pick, rb Chris Perry for 2 years"

Usually takes about 8 weeks. Between 65 and 90% who experience a sports hernia fully recover 100%. Sometimes, does not take 8 weeks. It is uncertain. Sometimes, there are permanent residual effects. As with ALL internal injuries. We hope for the best, that in 8 weeks, after the start of the season, he will be 100% and ready to PRACTICE for the FIRST TIME as a Bill. Uncertain. Seems likely that he will, but uncertain none the less.
