An 11 year drop into the NFL abyss will necessitate Buffalo overpaying for outside free agents. That's just how it's going to be, at least until they can show some real signs of competitive life. That said, go ahead and overpay, Buddy...I want this guy on the Bills.

Good job by the front office...a much needed re-sign at a very reasonable price and length. Welcome back, Drayton!

Considering you have 53 posts in almost 6 years time, no...I don't remember. Honestly. But keep patting yourself on the back. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters...

Wow. Overreaction night...even by this board's "standards". This is worse than the damn lockout.

The biggest, final play he made was netting us the 5th Rounder which was used to draft Kyle Williams. For the record, I liked both Moulds & Poz.

Where are all of the great players that the Bills have missed out on so far??? Last time I checked, no one can even sign until Friday evening. Jesus H, get a grip!

I agree with you, Ghost. Unfortunately for Bills fans, hoping that players end up filling positions in the toughest division in football is what leads you to 4-12.

IF this is true...AND the Bills matched Jacksonville's offer...AND Poz said he loved Buffalo...AND he's more comfortable in a 4-3...then why did he walk??

And, sadly, nothing changes in Buffalo. At least not yet...

No brainer, if true, and a good signing. I might...MIGHT...take a flier on VY but the fact that you think that he or the God awful McNabb are "the answer" is laughable. And right now, the asking price for both Orton & Kolb reportedly starts with a 1st Rounder. Not to mention that there will be several good signal callers in next year's draft. Thank God you're not the Bills' GM. It's only your first post so hopefully you'll improve. Then again, that 'Chicken Little' mentality will serve you well around here.

Exactly. Kevin Burnett, Stephen Cooper, & Brandon Moore, as well. Shawne Merriman said that he'd be trying to recruit some of his former team mates to come to the Bills. Maybe Nix reaches out to his past SD connections.

Doc, I'd love that scenario. Gotta re-sign Florence or at least get another starting CB, too. I don't have a Twitter account, nor do I ever anticipate getting one, but good luck with your whole "campaign", 'WSS?'.

Haha! Nice!! 'The Stranger' is a great album ("Album?? WTF is an ALBUM?!"). My favorite Billy Joel song is on it...'Scenes from an Italian Restaurant'. It's "Old Guys Night" @ TBD...you, SJBF, & me.

Thanks, SJBF. Good stuff. I hadn't seen this yet. Here's two that I found interesting: 1) "Sixth, the possibility of an opt out was included as an open item. Balzer reports that the final version included no opt out, making it a firm 10-year deal. (It has been reported that the players want a potential opt out after seven years.)" - I don't want an opt out on either side. The reason we're living through this ordeal now is the owners' own stupidity back in 2006 (save for Ralph Wilson & Mike Brown). Make a deal and live with it. Period. 2) "Tenth, short-term injured reserve would be available, along with a possible game-day roster of 47. The deal approved by the owners reportedly limits the game-day roster to 46." - I've thought for years that there should be a short-term injured reserve. It's absolutely assinine that a player is lost for the year if he's placed on IR. I'd advocate a 47 man game day roster vs. a 46, as well.

Ditto.

You must be...but at least you've got company. I knew you'd get that Two Guys reference if you threw out Twin Fair and those other "moldy oldies". The memories came flooding back when I saw your post. I remember my brother and I riding our bikes up to Neisner's (later 'Big N' then 'Ames') as kids on Grand Island. My dad also worked for W.T. Grants. Wow, where did the years (and these places) go? Ah, the "good old days".

Yes, simply look at the posts prior to yours. It's all there.

But less than half as fattening.

They're like any other big business with sales/customer service reps and a high turnover rate. You can call and get the answer you did then call back 5 minutes later and get a different rep who'll give you the discount. You've just got to be willing to play the game. Be respectful and be direct. Let them know what you want. Don't threaten, just be honest. If you still don't get what you want, you can always ask for Customer Retention. Often times, they won't let it go that far and will offer you what you want. If you have any other questions I'm sure you could 'PM' Fezmid. He's TBD's resident expert on these matters and the all-around DirecTV guru here.

Or Two Guys.

I actually set my DVR for this last week and set it to record over the time slot, as well. I love the NFL Yearbooks. They can make an 0-16 football team look like they just won the Super Bowl.

Agreed. I echo the sentiments of everyone who commented on the Sabres hat. I noticed it too and thought, "very cool."

A 7th is the absolute most I'd give up for Pryor. With an abbreviated offseason, he'll be even more useless this year than the average project QB. He'd be a waste of a roster spot, IMO, unless you're going to stash him on IR. No thanks. Let somebody else claim him as their project.

'Photoshop' it and see what you think...

First, you assume that the lockout will be over. Then, you assume that you'll still be married. Ever the optimist...
