Brilliant, borderline clairvoyant I'd say

Convince my wife of that please.

"Steak and BJ" and now a "happy ending" post? This thread is going down in the gutter fast

Hmmm that seems reasonable. But yesterday wasn't the first day he knew about Buffalo's interest. That part of it could have been determined beforehand. But yeah I guess having his fiancee on board would be a big consideration, and showing her the area she would be spending at least half the year in makes sense. Still think it shouldn't take so long, but I have never been in his situation either.

If that's true they should have left his fiancee at home

I'd love to be an observer in one of these situations once. I can't figure out what would take so long. Nix makes an offer, Williams either wants to play for Buffalo or he does not. If he does they negotiate contract terms which shouldn't take a large amount of time. If he does not he says no thank you and moves on. Seems like that's how it was for a lot of the other FAs, what's the difference here? Unless he is waiting for other offers to drive the Bills price higher, or using the Bills offer to drive someone elses offer higher? Like I said, I'd love to see how one of these situations works from the inside once.

I don't at all buy the premise that he deliberately tanked any previous seasons in the hope of landing a big name FA now. But I do give him a lot of credit for having found himself in this cap situation and seeing a big name FA that he feels would make a immediate and significant impact, pulling the trigger and making a full court press for that FA (Williams). Not an easy proposition getting a guy that high on every GMs list, particularly for a small market team with a dismal recent history. Every indication is Nix is pulling out all the stops. Ultimately the final judgement is not dinners in Buffalo, but signings. Nix was most likely used by Meachem, but he is still in the hunt for the top prize.

Just put some random work spreadsheet on your monitor. A boss will never know if it is real work or not.

5th WR according to this list. 9 below him by my count.

Well this certainly sounds like the big splash Buddy was talking about earlier doesn't it!

I have never played D&D, and my Mom is dead. Lighten up, Francis. Hopefully Mr. Lombardi is correct. And if he is, then it is time to get excited. In my opinion anyway, yours may vary. Making offers is a good thing. Making top offers is a very good thing. Signing them is a great thing.

I never thought of it that way, but I guess you could be right.

"Bills General Manager Buddy Nix said this morning that the team is planning to make waves with a free agent signing or two that makes the league take notice" No. I would not consider signing the Saints #2 WR something that would make the league take notice. Do you? How many? One would be nice. Two would be outstanding. I have no real opinion on Meachem specifically. All I was saying is I don't think he is a "big splash" Nix was talking about is all. And yeah ... I'm a greedy S.O.B.

Not for nuthin, but I can only imagine what it must be like at OBD right about now. Crazyness

Splash and splash if it works out.

Not calling out anyone. Just saying Meachem can't be one of the big splashes Nix was talking about.

Everyone is getting excited because 2 FA's agreed to talk to the Bills?

Don't sweat it. He is a #2 to Colston. May or may not be a good add, but certainly not the big splash Nix was talking about.

Yeah people are reading "He’s on his way to Buffalo." and interpreting that as he signed. Classic

Nothing on ESPN web page either.

Or not.

Why in the world would that convince any big name FA's to come to Buffalo? They are interested in the quality of the team, the quality of the organization, and money (and maybe a little the locale). Even if you could fill the Ralph and have it be "rocking", it wouldn't make a damn bit of difference. They simply don't give a **** about how loud the fans are.

Canadian ballet.

All good talk. Looking forward to reading about these 1 or 2 big splash FA signings soon.

Having never met the guy or his wife, if he is mature then what is the explanation for the immature on field behavior?
