Only a truly deranged fan would relocate his family in his quest. It is an honor to call you a Bills fan sir!

She will always be one of my favorites!

Reasonable thoughts. But signing him, or tagging him, now might nudge people to buy their 2012 seasons.

There is a contingent here who would go that high, and some even a little higher. I'm with you, but to others here SJ is a premier WR.

Oh well below the other things to be sure. But if you were a 25 year old single millionaire and all other things being equal, would you choose to live in say Miami or Buffalo

You lost me right there. It is a business first, for the players as well as the owners. You say "greed himself right off the team" like it's a bad thing. Thinking with the homer switch in the off position for just a minute, he would be nuts not to explore every option at this point. If the Bills wanted to avoid that, they could have put a tempting offer out during the season like they did for the Amish rifle. But the way it sits now, I see it potentially as (assuming he gets offers other than from the Bills): 1) Take an offer from another team and play in a bigger market, for at least the same (if not more) money, on a team that has a decent chance of going deep into the playoffs next season, in a city that has outstanding nightlife (not that Johnson likes to party or anything ). -- or -- 2) Take an offer from Buffalo and ... play for the Bills. It isn't greeding himself off the team, it is not being an idiot homer about his business decision. I hope he ends up on the Bills, but to blame him if he does not is just plain being silly. The Bills could still drop the franchise (toe)tag on him. But that keeps him for what, one rebuilding year longer?

If a team requests the carry over, are then then required to spend it? If not I would expect Brandon to insist on requesting the carry over. Giving the impression that the team is willing to spend is too good of a public relations opportunity to pass up when facing another off season of shrinking season ticket buyers.

If Gailey stays pass happy definitely not. Otherwise 62.5 yards each on average per game isn't out of the question I'd say.

Check and mate. And might I add, WOW!

Yeah I bet every GM in the entire NFL sits around with his staff looking at who the scouts and GM of one of the worst teams in football likes to decide their draft order No offense to you, your statement just struck me as funny is all

Fixed.

To the Jills if there is a God.

You seem to think that SJ's market value is considerably higher than I do. But he, like most of the other FA's and GM's, are simply playing the game. SJ is seeing what other teams might be interested and what they are willing to pay for his services. This helps him determine his actual market value. Then he evaluates all the offers, including the Bills, and picks the one he likes the best overall. It's a simple game that is played every year at this time by a subset of players that have the opportunity. We will know if SJ will be a Bill when he signs with someone. No point to these mental masturbation threads until then.

When he isn't ball washing any and all big-name QBs playing. I thought he was going to offer to have Brady's baby a couple times.

Oh man you have done it now. Queue the Spiller lovers, Fitz lovers, AND SJ lovers

At the beginning of the season they will say "remember how he started last year and how he crashed and burned". If Fitz has a strong complete season, some will start to see him in a different light. But some still won't no matter what. Welcome to fan forums

Not really baffling. Mr. Wilson has kept the Bills in Buffalo. To many, that is enough.

I agree completely. The reason why the numbers cited look so good is because of all the short passes called (one would think because of a lack of confidence in either the O line, the QB's arm, or both). The QBs that "have all day" to throw, generally do. They drop back in the pocket and stay there surveying the field. Fitz did that rarely, and when he did he usually ended up running for his life. From my perspective, the Bills O line didn't suck, but they weren't one of the strongest in the league either. Likewise I love Fitz's toughness and brain. But I find his arm lacking. Ultimately, in my opinion, both will need upgrades before they scare anyone in the post season.

I wouldn't feel bad if they signed a few more rejects like Barnett.

I do look forward to next season and have the expectation of continued improvement. But I am sick of the posts that insist that everyone billieve there is going to be some miracle and the Bills will stun the NFL and win the AFC East if not the superbowl next season. And if you don't mindlessly believe it, you are not a "fan". That's all.

Wow what a refreshing viewpoint that I have never heard before! It is all so clear to me now. The last dozen seasons were not the dirty dozen at all! Nay, it was just a prelude to the glory that will be the 2012 Buffalo Bills season! Thank you Mr. Kid, you changed my life!

I don't follow sports reporters so I will ask you guys. Does Florio often pull stuff out of his ass like this in the off season trying to create a controversy?

That has been true a long time. To the fans it is a passion but to the players it is a (very well paying) career first and foremost.

But Roger, Sunday ticket gets blacked out as well. And the increase you see equates to a significant (say 25% fewer unsold tickets) for blacked out games do you estimate? If so, then color me surprised because like I said, I know of no one ever who has done that. That is my very unscientific sample size of me however

Add one more Bills fan to the list.
