Do I have time to get lunch as we watch this drama unfold?
-
This is the first time I've ever heard of a player doing this: going to one city and signing at another he hasn't even seen while still in the first city. Amazing.

Didn't Antoine Winfield pull the same on the Jets?
-
Fill a different need via FA and add WR to be filled via draft.
-
In Buddy we trust, and Buddy wouldn't send a box of used jox for a QB who can't throw. 4th rounder?!
-
RT @kirkmorrison: I'm happy to announce that I re-signed with the Buffalo Bills. Couldn't be more excited to be coming back. #Bills2012

Good news! I was confused why that WGR article gave 23:1 odds of Chandler re-signing

Monday
Monday at 4:00

Wow, this thread went off the rails. Any actual news on the contract situation, considering the franchise tag deadline is Monday?
-
Your DE just ran a 5.37. Reggie White ran about a 4.7 and could bench press a bus. Brockers may be great, but he will not be a Bill.
-
Didn't fall for it!
-
Love it!
Let the Chiefs get Routt, but show heavy interest in him. The Chiefs sign Routt, and with Flowers and Berry, the Chiefs will be forced to let Carr go, the better CB, who Buddy will go and get him!
Yeah, but now they'll tag Bowe, so with Stevie unsigned the options go down.

From Russ Lande:
"I think both of these guys would have to be serious considerations for the Bills. They both would step in, and even if they weren't great they would be solid, and considering the guys the Bills played with this season, be it Demetrius Bell or Chris Hairston, Reiff and Martin are both better players than those two, no question."

How the f have we not already signed this guy?
That sir is a damn good question.
May I ask, do you enjoy "hot pockets?"
-
Cool. It would be nice heading into FA to have our own settled.
-
How can you be so sure?
I'm taking wagers if you want. I'll put my money where my mouth is.
-
Two words for ya. FRANCHISE TAG.
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.
-
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.

Am I the only one who doesn't necessarily see the flying the fiancee in as necessarily a good sign? Reminds me of the Marvin Lewis situation. Let's hope when they meet with the other players and wives they sell her on the city.
