Why is anybody surprised?
A bunch of greedy billionaire owners trying to crush the little guys. The NFL is greedy and could care less about the welfare of the players or the regular officials.
It won't be long before they ask the replacement refs to take a pay cut.
The Bills have the worst set of linebackers on any team in the entire NFL. (starters and reserves incl.)
A defense that ranks in the bottom 3 over the last few years cannot be fixed by one or two FA's.
This defense will never succeed as long as "quality" players like McKelvin and Kelsay are on this team. (This is not a referral to today's game specifically, but in general.)
This deal is a fair indication on how far away the Bills are from being serious contenders. They are trading for QB rejects from terrible teams. Does this sound like a deal the true contenders are making?
He was definitely going to get cut. Anything higher than a 5th is OK. I guess the Bills can guarantee they will get him if they acquire him by trade. The Vince Young / Tyler Thigpen era is over. Have you ever seen such dreadful backup QB's?
Fitzpatrick,Jackson, Smith. Goodbye Tyler and Vince!
What a yawn!
This is absolutely no surprise!!!!
Merriman is done and the Bills were not going to keep two useless substitute pass rushers who make about $5 million per year (Kelsay and Merriman)
Merriman was clueless against Minnesota. He looked lost and slow. Goodbye.
Kelsay was equally clueless, but he was slightly quicker getting to the pile after the play ended. Why they keep Kelsay is a complete mystery? He has no beneficial impact on the defense at all. In fact, just the opposite. Opposing offenses just load up and pad their stats when Kelsay is in the game.
I won't consider the Bills defense as a serious threat until the coaches and management get rid of Kelsay. (throw in McKelvin too!)
This is a dangerous trend in America. The media (both broadcast and print) is controlled by only a couple companies who can dictate content and access. Now the government has determined that they can shut down the internet and other forms of communication legally if they deem it necessary. Goodbye freedom and democracy.
Why does the media automatically assume the Pats will win the AFC East?
Is this really a serious question or just a dumbass question? Were you born yesterday?
Maybe because they seem to do it every year!!!
If the DL starters are Mario Williams, Dareus, Kyle Williams, and Anderson can the team afford to keep Merriman and Kelsay as backups and/or situational players when each has a cap hit of $5.75 million?
I don't think so.
