My bet would be Dwayne Bowe. He's played for Gailey and has been in KC (a far cry from SD).
Bowe would be an absolutely awesome pickup; I'd prefer him over VJ any day.

Do you think Texans fans are mad their team will let franchise talent walk out the door for nothing?
PTR
Have they done that? Oh, the deadline hasn't come yet, so speculation. If they do, then yes, and rightfully so.
-
Yes, it was a good show.
-
Not angry - just sayin' I'd hate to see them let their best free agent walk away for nothing, again.
-
C'mon man..Really??
So what you meant when you said that it would cost them nothing was.... if they sign and trade him they wont have to pay his salary for the OTHER TEAM??
Yes, really. And that is not what I meant to say at all - I don't even understand what you're saying.
It's simple - tag him, and it costs them nothing while they explore options. They can drop it later if he doesn't sign. If he does sign, trade him, and the new team can worry about contract. In either scenario, it costs the Bills nothing, which IS what I was talking about.
-
We were just responding to your post that it costs NOTHING to tag him. We understand there are a lot of ifs but it can cost the Bills. I'm not against signing him.
But if they tag him, he signs, then they find a trade partner, it still costs them nothing, and they get something in return.
-
Yes it will. As Nucci and Zazie already pointed out.. if you tag a player you cannot then rescind it if the player signs.
If...if...there's a lot of ifs involved. You still need to tag him rather than let him walk. Even if he signs, what's to prevent a trade and subsequent re-negotiation of the contract with his new team? Worse case, you keep your best free agent for another year. Some backfire.
-
If they tag him and he's signs immediately, it does cost them. It can easily backfire.
There's no signing bonus, and he doesn't get paid until the season is underway.
-
It'll cost the Bills $9.5 million range to tag him next year.
It costs them NOTHING to tag him. They can then deal him or drop it later if they choose, but it costs nothing to protect themselves. Who else they gonna tag this year?
-
Lee clearly did not complete the process, ala Calvin Johnson last year against the Bears, the call was good under the rules.
-
I guess maybe it was missing a football move, but that sure the hell looked like a TD before it got knocked out.
Yup, ten years ago that's probably a TD. He clearly had possession in the end zone.
I would be so much more psyched for the Giants game if he holds on to that pass.
There's no football moves in the endzone. Rule is different on scores.
Wss that a TD then? He got one foot down and then the 2nd was almost down before the ball was knocked out. It seemed like a TD to me in real time.
He needs to complete the process, which he clearly didn't.
Isn't that the ridiculous call they made on Calvin Johnson early last season?
Ding ding ding!

Lazy Lee

Hopefully it works out that way. I've always felt Ralph was going to put a succession plan in place to try his best to keep the team in Buffalo.
-
Nope, Fitz would do well to hit the gym to get that arm strength up. I watched Tebow throughout college and he throws the ball a lot harder now.
I don't think lifting weights has much at all to do with how far or hard you can throw the ball. In fact, it is discouraged. Would be curious to hear if there is a training program to the contrary for QB's, but whether a guy presses 300 or 500 pounds doesn't correlate to arm strength when throwing the ball.
-
When is decision date?
I forget the details, but think it was March. There was an article outlining how the contract was structured in such a way that they could walk away at that time for a fraction of the $60M.
-
It'd be nice if the Bills didn't have to make their decision on the option to move on from Fitzy until after the draft, but since it isn't I can't see them taking RGIII, even if he were to somehow fall to us. Gotta get a player they can plug in from day one.
-
Good stuff!

Fun? So you are just trolling?
This should probably be taken offline, but how did you get trolling from fun? Is it unpleasant or dull for you when you post here, if so, then why are you doing it?
-
Youre still participating in the madness.
It's a Tebow thread. Says right so in the title. It's actually THE Tebow thread.
If you are sick of it, dont click it, dont read it, dont respond, and dont keep bumping it to the top.
Thanks, I got that. Now it's just fun.
-
Isnt this EXACTLY what you are doing? Now in multiple threads?
Nope, I am merely responding to others crusades and pointing out the hilarity of the simple minded. You think Tim's great, wonderful, but stop cramming it down our throats with your polls and various other incessant propoganda.
-
This is the thing that bothers me. He's a great person - why? Do you know the number of NFL players, let alone professional athletes, that have for decades set up foundations, charity events and camps for underprivileged kids, etc. etc. etc.?
The only thing that seems to make Tim Tebow a "good person" is that he uses the words Jesus Christ, Lord or Savior in every sentence, talks in standard sports cliches and hasn't had sex. I mean, the guy was a National Championship winning QB and won the Heisman, then got drafted in the first round. Wow, really taking a chance and rooting on the underdog aren't we? Tom Brady was drafted in the 6th round and was nothing but an afterthought, and all the guy has done is play better than an QB in the last decade while ranking among the best of all time. But no, Tebow's the underdog, Brady's the devil.
And forget that, what about Alex Smith? The guy was dead and buried by not only the media and fans, but coaches. Did Jim Harbaugh sprinkle fairy dust on him and magically transform him into a respectable QB that can go toe-to-toe with Drew Brees? Well, I don't know, because ESPN, the NFL Network and every other news outlet was too busy talking about a guy who can't complete 50% of his passes
And what about the fact that TJ Yates made it just as far as Tebow, and yet how many TJ Yates stories were there?
This is media generated story, and the NFL is pushing it 100% because it's the anti-Michael Vick story, which the league had to suffer through for years.
Maybe John Elway can spend the offseason with the guy and teach him how to throw to his right, which he currently cannot do, and maybe he'll turn into a respectable QB, but referring him as anything more than a below-average QB, who in the games he started had more sacks and turnovers than any other QB in that same time frame, muddles the story and demeans all of the charitable work done by NFL players that is conveniently ignored.
+1000 There's some weird people out there. Anyone spending an inordinate amount of time crusading on internet message boards about this freak show has serious issues.

I'm haven't been inside a church in at least a decade, but I know a good person when I see one, and I know a troll when I see one.
Personal attacks can't deflect from your crusade. That and your previous obscenities is against the TOS, btw.
-
I don't know, but I know that 51 converts to troll. How many posts would I have to go back in your history to find one where the whole point of your post isn't to piss somebody off?
Try to turn the other cheek.
-
And, I did enjoy the run - immensely!
Enjoy the CFL. You and the rest of the flakes deserve each other. What does 3:16 convert to in metric?

Three words for you: NOT GONNA HAPPEN
That's not to say he won't be re-signed, but it won't be via the tag.
