this explains it
welcome to the bills buddy
-
Like the signing a lot. Scratch McClain off your lists.
-
i've been told no deal.

That sucks. Get 'r done!
-
Some people are just afraid of "dark Richie"
-
We'll see how long you're singing that tune when Edwards is our starting QB in 2010!
-
Can a mod please create a "Rotoworld Section" please
How 'bout a "Trolls 'R Us" section?
-
I thought someone was arguing that Incognito was gonna get no interest, and therefore that justified the Bills FO from retaining him
-
This is like watching lemmings jump off a cliff.
-
The Bills have to overpay by A LOT to get these guys to sign and they won't. It sounds like Kennedy could have been a good fit (even if insurance). Bottom line is they should pay since the $$ is not going anywhere else.....Just pray they hit on all 7 rounds of this years draft because they have close to 7 holes.
QB
NT
Receiver
LB
LT
DE
It's called the "Buffalo premium" and the FO ain't payin' it. We're in firesale mode.
just because he left doesn't mean the door is closedIt's officially closed. BTW, memo to the front office. If you don't want to be used like a 2 bit whore in the future, don't plan on bringing anyone in unless you are ready to pay the "Buffalo premium" on the spot.
-
When Ralph Wilson said he was going to build through the draft, I think he meant it. If we do not sign anyone else in free agency and there probably is a good chance of that happening, it makes sense now to trade down to acquire more draft picks.
I agree about the trading down part, but the primary motivator won't be to acquire more picks. It's to get out of paying top 10 crazy money. This team is in firesale mode.

-
No news as of now, but I still think there's a good chance he signs tonight or tomorrow.
After hearing the interview, I think you're wrong. But, I'll hold out hope until proven otherwise.
-
I dont think he has any interest in coming here. He is trying to force the Vikings hand, or some other team.
I hope Im wrong, I wouldnt mind having him, just as good if not better than what we currently have.
Just passing through, unfortunately. I don't see the FO paying the "Buffalo premium" it'll take to keep him from leaving town without a deal.
-
I've seen him play plenty here. Uhhh.....no thanks. In any round or even undrafted FA.
-
#7 Maybin, Losman, & Edwards? Wondering why you included them in your list of players with character issues? Granted, none have really performed well on the field (for the most part), but I don't recall any incidents that call their character into question. Maybe you consider Maybin's holdout a character issue? Can you refresh our memories?
-
You do realize Nix knows the guy and there must have been something he didn't like about him.
Man, for missing the playoffs for a decade, this FO sure gets a lot of free passes. Switching to 3-4 but no NT, no problem. Signing Cornell Green - good move.
-
I recall Bledsoe having a pretty good year here so as long as we don't draft Mike Williams 2.0 we will be in good shape.
If by year you mean half year, then yeah he was pretty good.
-
If he does come back, don't the coaches want to move him to OLB? Is that a factor weighing on his decision?
-
What's the guy from East Aurora have to say on the subject?
-
So the Bills FO gets praise for taking a patient approach to free agency, but if others do the same it somehow proves a point supporting a personal vendetta against Incognito?
-
Exactly, that's how they got him to sign. Tell the guy he's the starter and he's game. But now what can we do if he is outplayed by Bell or Meredith? Pencil him in as experienced depth or cut him if it's necessary.
Really, this was a smart move, no matter how bad people want to put a negative spin on it. Sure, we would have liked a better OT, with a better track record, but the FA pool isn't exactly teeming with great options this year.
We'll see how smart it was when we see the upfront money. Teams don't just "get him to sign" by making false promises without something for the other side. Players agents aren't stupid either.
Either way, signing 34 year old bad players isn't the best way to start rebuilding.
-
Not necessarily. It could be Bell, or Meridith, or a mid to late round draft pick. He might not even make the team ala Will James and Domenic Rhodes.
Reread the quote from the article. He's basically been assured by the coaches he'll be starting at RT. Could he be beaten out by Bell or Meredith, maybe because the bar isn't set that high, but the coaches have him penciled in as starter. He wouldn't have signed for $9M otherwise.
-
Guaranteed? No. But he's our new starter at right tackle. And judgments on him are based on his proclivity to commit too many penalties and allow too many sacks. That's on him, not his team. Pro scouts rate him as "adequate," not his team. And his crappy team, which is better than ours by the way, has been consistently looking to replace him. Their gain is our loss.
"After his conversations with Buffalo's coaching staff over the past day or so, Green believes he'll be manning the right tackle position when all is said and done, a position that's very familiar to him."
-
They are not going to take him at #9. There is zero chance of that. Zero.
Good Lord, it's as good as done.

I'm so confused. Is he a Bill or not?
