In what way? If there isn't money, there isn't enough money. No amount of negotiating would change that.

Did you read my post or just see my name and respond? I said "I never said they should have entered negotiations or that they would have enough money. I said the theory that the Bills needed to sign Byrd first to see what money they had left over is hogwash." My point was that they knew from the beginning that they were probably going to have to Franchise Byrd. And if they didn't, they would be signing him to a deal close to the amount they would franchise him for. So they KNEW they weren't going to have money for Levitre. So tell him. Please read my post this time before responding.

You made my point for me. The Bills KNEW how much money they were going to have to spend for Byrd and Levitre, ball park. They absolutely could enter negotiations with that ball park number. OR they could know they weren't going to have enough money and inform his agent that it simply wasn't going to work. They did neither. Perhaps you need to re-read my post. I never said they should have entered negotiations or that they would have enough money. I said the theory that the Bills needed to sign Byrd first to see what money they had left over is hogwash. They knew a very good ballpark number of what they were going to have to give to Levitre after Byrd was franchised. As far as your snide comment about the Bills finance guys not knowing what they're doing - has ANYONE in the Bills organization shown over the last decade that they know what their doing? If this was the Packers, you can make that comment. If this is the Patriots, you can make that comment. If this was the Steelers, you can make that comment. But it's not. It's the Buffalo Bills. The most inept organization, top to bottom, in the entire league over the past decade plus. So NO, I don't trust their finance guys. And as far as childs play goes, I think even a child could have gotten us to a playoff spot at least once over the past 13 years.

Nassib = Trent 2.0

All the talk on the first page about signing one first so you know what you have to negotiate with is a bunch of hogwash. You don't have to have a degree in mathematics to run numbers based on scenario. You don't have to even have a high school diploma. This is basic math. Stupid Bills doing the same stupid things.

I wouldn't want that. Chan is a great OC. He just can't head coach at the same time.

Wtf?

Do you realize how injured they were this season? 5 of the 11 starters spent time this year on the injured/out list. Bahahahahahahahah He will be hired within the next 2 weeks. "I'll be out of work for like five minutes." - Rob Ryan

I like Pettine a lot, but now than Ryan is available I think he is the guy we need to get quick.

This is a no brainer. Hire the guy immediately. He took a crappy Cowboys defense and made them decent. He is a damn good coach.

Agreed. Problem is that Poz is a better player than Teo is. So the question is, would you spend the 8th pick, or even a 1st round pick, who is a slightly worse version of Poz? I wouldn't.

I want this guy no where near the Bills on draft day. Let someone else take him. He is Poz 2.0 but not as good. As another poster mentioned, if he was on Alabama, he wouldn't be in the starting lineup. Many people tried to make the point that it was because of his defensive line. Well... the LB to his left played decently well and he had the same defensive line in front of him. No thanks to Teo.

I'm really upset McCarron isn't declaring.

That's too bad.

Notre Dame's TE can play.
