no because smith does not have to trade turner.yes the bills and titans have options .such as drafting a runningback.the chargers do not need to trade turner.yes next year he will be a unrestricted free agent and the chargers would probably get a compensatory pick if they do not sign any free agents.the only thing in the bills and titans favor is the bills and titans would give the chargers far more than a compensatory pick if they traded with the chargers for michael turner.go bills in"07

so do we....it is just that on the chargers message board they make all the turner post's be on the one thread.if you go to the titans message board they do the same thing.the turner thread is long ,but there is only one.we have 90 jillion turner threads on our board ,but they are spread out.

wow! thats pretty harsh.i don't really remember peerless acting like a punk.early on in his career he did drop alot of balls.i always remember eric moulds being the punk.i remember two differnt times where eric spit on the opposing players.peerless had a big chip on his shoulders when he was first drafted.peerless was also a young kid who didn't realize that at the time he benefitted from playing across from eric,but i have never seen him act like a punk.i also think he did good with the bills last season.i think peerless will be even better this year.bills fans should hope so because i think peerless is here for the length of his contract.go bills in"07

are you sure they even get a 3rd rounder if michael walks?the reason i ask is he was drafted in the 5th round.wouldn't he only fetch san diego a 5th then?or would it be higher because san diego placed the highest tender on him this year?

is that in nickel city? my parents live in odessa fla(tampa)and i work with a girl from buffalo.we are meeting there april 20th for a wedding.she says she spent alot of time in tampa and that there is a place nickel city in tampa that is a bills/sabres bar.

well why is because turner was tendered the the highest of restricted free agents.......any team signing him would have to give up a 1st and 3rd round pick.turner is the most expensive free agent runningback this season.its a no brainer that most other teams looked for other runningbacks.

i hear that"inside sources" close to the negotiations say that marv has stood back from the table because aj smith is demanding tim anderson and coy wire be thrown into the deal with our second pick as well.aparently marv has said he would consider letting tim anderson go if he really has to,but letting coy wire go as well is a "deal breaker"....the bargaining goes on! lol lol.

brandon you 100% right.the bills have plenty of options.i was only saying people seem to think we hold all the cards when we do not.like i said earlier aj smith does not need to trade michael turner.this is where the misconception is.people feel if he does not trade michael that he will be stuck with only a 5th round compensatory pick next year.i just think the chargers like michael enough that they wouldn't mind paying him 2.35 million and letting him walk next year.do you think if we gave the chargers a 2nd round pick,they would be able to replace him equally with that 2nd pick.i was all for getting adrian peterson,but if we can get michael for say a 2nd and a 3rd then that is not so bad.if it is a fair deal for both teams this trade will get done.

i would say aj has the upper hand.aj does not need to trade mike .he will get a 5th next season if he walks.he can back up lt and they may even be superbowl bound with mike.

yesssssssss!

i really like the new offensive line.i think it will be a bills strength for the next 6-7 years.go bills in"07

its true that defense wins football games,but............a good offense helps the defense as well.espicially when it is a runningback.runningbacks gobble up the clock in those close games.

how about we trade our 3rd and 7th to baltimore for willis mcgahee? baltimore has already worked out his new contract.i also hear he is now willing to do his offseason training with his team.lol lol..ok not such a funny joke,but it seemed funny when written.go bills in"07

actually dean what you posted was very true .you do have to look at more than just "rushing yards"to evaulate a runningback.every thing you posted was true about picking up blitzes etc...i just think adrian can be the real deal.i also have nothing against turner.i just would rather draft our own runningback at#12 then give multiple picks for another runningback.go bills in"07

well i have THOUGHT ABOUT IT and i stand pat....i think adrian peterson will out rush michael turner next season.adrian will be the first runningback chosen in this years draft and rightfully so.michael turner has talent but there had to be a reason he was chosen in the fifth round.and even if i end up wrong it is just my opinion.it means nothing.that is what we all do on this board.post our opinions about what we think will happen or what players we like or dislike.go bills in"07

true ap may be gone at #12.if turner goes to the titans it may change marv's draft strategy.marv may have to decide if ap is worth moving up for,or should he stand pat at #12 and settle for marshawn lynch.i prefer to get ap,but i bet ml can have a good career too.

i bet around 11:30-12ish tomorrow the next story will read.........."turner trip to buffalo cancelled,chargers and titans working on trade details" after this we can get back to the who is better debates.....adrian peterson or marshawn lynch. go bills in"07

i bet adrian peterson out rushes michael turner next season.

yup adrian peterson is looking better and better each day!

just because another team is interested in a player that supposedly the bills are interested in does not make it uncomprhendable.would you be content with only lendale white as your runningback?i wouldn't think so.i would rather have adrian peterson or marshawn lynch anyway.go bills in"07!

montana watching the patroits/bills and cowboys on the nfl ticket.

good luck to mike!

this is my prediction since feburary.............. we draft adrian peterson first and paul posluszny second. if adrian peterson is off the board it will be marshawn lynch first and paul second. we will trade back into the first round or the upper seconfd to get paul.the rest of our draft will be the best player available regardless of position. go bills in"07..........of course if we do trade for turner then it will be linebacker first.that last part was just added today because of all the turner trade talk.

its a perfect match only if adrian peterson is off the draft board when we pick at#12.

i would dance a jig if that first round happened in real life!
