Pretty cool memory, Alcindor was an absolute giant and he would rebound and then hand to me to feed Oscar Robertson for the shot ? I used to go early with my brother the usher and get autographs and meet the players. The Sabres games my brother was the usher for Knox' section in the golds. He had an extra seat for his phone. I had a bunch of pucks from chasing them in the hallway and I would get them autographed along with my hockey sticks. I played right wing and wore Roberts number so he gave me a stick and the French Connection autographed it. My buddy's dad was the penalty box guy and got all the broken sticks, he would give me some that weren't that broken and I would get them autographed. Good memories roaming around the old Aud.

***** stole our Braves, I got to rebound for Lew Alcindor (Kareem), Lucius Allen and Oscar Robertson at halftime of a game with the Bucks. I was at the game early with my brother who was an usher at the Aud. I was asked to be the official JC Penney Jr. Buffalo Brave ballboy for the night, cause I was wearing my Penneys Jr Brave sweatshirt. I actually got to sit under the basket on the back of the padded base with a guy who worked for the Aud. Lucius Allen came piling into us on a fast break. I was probably around 10 or 11. No way they would let a kid sit there these days.

I still think Teller can develop into a solid starter, he was only a rookie on a poorly coached line without any great mentors. I don't know if that is this year but I fully expect him to be on the roster. Ducasse should be gone I think.

He was the Bills 2nd highest rated lineman behind Dawkins last year on pff and their best guard by a longshot, sad as that may be.

Not to mention their defensive front four now.

He did have a pretty good year in 2017. Was oft injured last season, knee, concussions and calf injuries ended season on IR and received a below avg grade on pff for 2018. Hoping he can recover and get back to form.

Not excited about this guy, but not sure what they guaranteed him. If he is just competition or for depth, okay.

It would actually be fitting to watch Bell get overpaid and then be frustrated and struggle behind a subpar line.

https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-2019-nfl-free-agent-tracker Here is a comprehensive live of fas at all positions ordered by 2018 overall grade. Number of snaps played is listed to recognize players with small samples. Nsekhe who plays tackle and guard, but played mostly tackle for the skins, is listed as the top tackle still left (he was 4th to begin with) and the 4th best guard available. (Not sure if the higher listed guards have signed yet). Not saying pff is the authority but I would bet every analyst would agree he is better than Mills.

Tomorrow is signing day I think. He will be 33 in 2023.

Nesekhe has played pretty well for the Skins the last couple years, but I highly doubt he gets a 3 year deal from anybody at his age.

Are Dolphins definitely moving on? He is under contract for one more year at 9.3. He is only 26, wonder what a new contract would look like? He has great size and speed.

Nathan Peterman was the starter at the time, can you blame him? The Bills will draft a wr regardless.

Watching a replay of SD and Salt Lake, tuned in for 4th qtr. What a great finish, don't know how it ends, 16 secs left and SD needs a fg. The kick is good! But you guys already knew that.?

Not yet I think

Was hoping for Mike Davis from Seattle, signed with Chicago for 2 yrs 3 mil per. He is only 26 and looked good this year running and receiving. Gore had a good year but man, just when you thought the backfield couldn't possibly get older.... Like all the people using the word 'judicious' on here every chance they get, ever since Beane used it. ?

He may have been their #2 but he was #4 in rec yds behind Allen, M Williams and Gordon. Austin Ekeler was just barely behind him in 5th. I say hell no to paying 12 million for him. I would rather get John Brown for around 7 and then draft a stud in the first couple rounds.

Could probably sign John Brown for around 7 mil I would think. Do that and draft one in the first 2 or 3 rounds.

Wanted the Bills to get James, wonder what they are paying? I am guessing 7.5 or 8 per. I hope Kroft works out, the good thing is they can walk away after this season if he doesn't.

I wouldn't mind John Brown for around 6 mil and then draft one in the first few rounds.

2015 was his best year, he has not been very good in coverage the last 3 years. He was on a pff list for the 5 fas most likely to be overpaid. He might be a decent pass rushing olb but 14 million is a lot to pay for that. Glad the Jets are burning through their cash, when the dust settles there will be a lot of good players still unsigned who will sign for good value. If the Bills are gonna spend big at all I am hoping for a tackle, Williams or James.

Great news!!! but not seeing anything on nfl.com or espn yet

you have to kill a muskox and wear his skin.

I used to read a lot of books, not so much anymore but this thread is inspiring me to start reading books again. Thnx

So glad this fell through, good for Beane wanting to improve the team but this was a terrible idea imo. ***** this guy, keep building a team. Bills don't need primadonnas. Dodged a bullet.
