According to the trade value chart - a #9 -is worth 1350 and a #13 is worth 1150 the 49ers 49th (#2 pick) is worth 420. Their #3, however, which is pick 79 is worth 195 Thus the trade would be Bills 1st for SF's 1st and SF's 3rd. sorry to burst your bubble.

I am fine with this - I can also see the Bills going Cody in round 2 if he makes it there. Or McCoy instead of Tebow.

http://www.gbnreport.com/2010projection.html 1 St. Louis Sam Bradford QB Oklahoma 2 Detroit Ndamukong Suh DT Nebraska 3 Tampa Bay Gerald McCoy DT Oklahoma 4 Washington Russell Okung OT Oklahoma State 5 Kansas City Eric Berry FS Tennessee 6 Seattle C.J. Spiller RB Clemson 7 Cleveland Joe Haden CB Florida 8 Oakland Trent Williams OT Oklahoma 9 Buffalo Jimmy Clausen QB Notre Dame I can see Washington going with Clausen. Same goes for Seattle and Cleveland. Who the hell knows what Oakland will do. Nevergiveup not withstanding, I think the Bills WILL draft Clausen if he is there otherwise they will either take Bulaga or Morgan. My prefernece is the QB or the OT. Lord knows we need to improve the offensive tackle position. RnJ

One thing that seems to be confusing everyone is this issue of McNabb signing a longterm contract - I have seen this at TBD and at various sports reporting outlets (such as ESPN.com). McNabb has no no-trade clause. That was reported inaccurately so put that to rest As to the extended contract, McNabb is risking a huge amount of money if he refuses to negotiate a new deal this year. If there is a strike next year, as far as I know he would keep any bonus money he would get this year (makes sense). But if he plays out his old contract he would get the May 1st bonus and his 2010 salary but that would certainly be considerably less than he would get this year with a new contract (upfront/bonus money). If there is indeed a strike in 2011, he loses out. Meanwhile , the Bills can always franchise him IF there is no strike. Yes, that is a huge number but they will not have paid 2010 prices for him in 2010 (and no extra bonus money). So, I do not understand the concerns right now over the issue of an extension especially with the strike looming. Is he worth a 2nd round pick IMO? I would say yes but his price may be dropping - perhaps to a 3rd and a conditional pick in 2011. my 2 cents RichNJoIsy

so much for THAT: From NFL.com - ORLANDO, Fla. -- In a change from the norm, the league will not announce any games scheduled for the 2010 season at the NFL Annual Meeting this week, a league source said Tuesday. Generally, the league would announce some key primetime matchups during the meeting, but that will not be the case this year. There are some unresolved issues, and the schedule isn't ready for these games to be locked in yet. An announcement on the full schedule is expected to come at once in mid-April. Probably this has to do with more baby tears from the JETS about getting the first game at home in their new stadium At least Jet fans get their whimpering attitude honestly - comes from the top on down. wimps

It is best to not take these kinds of rumors too seriously - even if YOU were asking the question and heard FIRSTHAND the reply, you STILL couldn't be sure what Reid really meant to say. In this case this is a report of what someone heard and is a reporter (or two) trying to get an article written to make money (which is their vocation - writing sports articles......grain of salt time, folks). The facts are these: 1.) Quality QB's are a rare and precious commodity. 2.) McNabb is better than (unarguably) half of the QB's in the NFL - the argument is is he 15, 12, 10, ....etc? How many teams would hesitate to trade a 2nd rounder for McNabb which is what this article is implying??? so, I do not think Reid meant (or perhaps even said any of what this article says) to say the Eagles would ever trade McNabb for less than a 1st round pick. Now Vick may be traded - that's a big possibility. I actually thought they would release him on March 1st. That's ONE wrong prediction by yours truly... my 2 cents

"The NFL will announce its 2010 prime time schedule Monday, March 22. " Just an FYI....

ummm the senators are losing to toronto they can't catch us if they never win

I just can't see this happening. I hear you on the rankings bit but the Bills desperately need to fill holes at the offensive tackle and nose tackle positions. "Can't miss" is STILL not guaranteed so, if one has to GUESS in the draft you have to WEIGHT your guess on need. My guess is Bulaga, Williams, or Davis or possibly Morgan. Okung will be long gone (could go #2) as will Bradford, Suh and Gerald McCoy.

NFL | Ferguson suspended eight games Comment (0) Tweet me! Sat, 06 Mar 2010 22:06:39 -0800 Howard Balzer, of The St. Louis Globe-Democrat, reports free-agent NT Jason Ferguson (Dolphins) has been suspended the first eight games of the 2010 season. It is believed he violated the league's policy on performance enhancing drugs. Read more: http://www.kffl.com/hotw/nfl#ixzz0hUZS8CLk

I can't see anyone trading a 1st round pick for a talented but troubled receiver who will demand a gigantic contract the year before a possible strike. Any ONE of these negatives (1st round pick, troubled, WR, huge contract, pending strike) would be enough for me as a GM to say "nope". I'd say such a trade is a non starter. my 2 cents....

I would think that the time to heal is way past. he should be in great shape if he kept working out.

hey, you don't sign him unless he passes a physical, right? And this does not preclude the Bills drafting a NT - playing NT is hard when you are 22 years old. Up until their first game in the NFL, they usually were by far the biggest guys on the field. Now they are facing guys their own size or bigger all the time. I am interested BTW to see if Kyle Williams can bulk up. He is still really young. my 2 cents...

It's official. He was released

He received a $3 million signing bonus, a $4.7 million roster bonus, a $1.9 million base salary and a $100,000 workout bonus all in 2009. That's $9.75 million for the 2009 season. so, yep, we paid less for 1 year of T.O.

Just saw this - prayers from Rich and the Rev N Joisy!

My letters will go out tomorrow morning -RichNJoisy

Hmmm, with no cap next year, what exactly would this mean?????

oops...sorry I missed the thread already talking about this guy. my bad

from gbnreport.com Iowa junior OT Bryan Bulaga, the Big Ten’s offensive lineman of the year, has announced that he will be entering the 2010 draft. The 6-5, 315-pound Bulaga is projected as a first-round pick, although his ultimate draft grade may have been compromised by a non-football illness that forced him to miss three games early in the season.

CNN puts us on the map for their example of "U.S. cold". http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/weather/01/04/c...ther/index.html

I, too, was in section 311. We made some noise to be sure!!
