All that means is they passed players who couldn't read so they could generate money for the school. Come on Kelly, you're better than that!

Yep, it's in the Anderson thread on this board. Not being a punk, just didn't feel like linking.

HUh? I don't get your meaning?

Yeah that's what I was gonna say. Last I heard Buddy said they made an offer and never heard anything back.

Kalil is the only plug and play tackle in the draft. I don't see the two things being mutually exclusive. That said, if he is on his nationwide tour looking for the most cash and didn't sign with the latest team to bring him in, it's fair to say that no one has met his asking price. I think Kelly's numbers are spot on. The issue being, that though Bell can make assurances he is a healthy player, he has an injury history that refutes that. My guess, he'll sign somewhere for 2 years in the 4M range per year. Like Kelly, I agree that he's probably looking for 4 years and around 30M.

The guy overvalues himself. If he didn't he would have signed already. Most of those teams need to improve at LT, so I could see them not wanting to overpay. But, not getting signed by the Eagles, whose LT is out for the season, just shows that either teams don't think much of him as a person (comes off as DUMB as a box of rocks if you read his twitter) or more likely, he's pricing himself out of the market. Wonder what team offered him the most?

Probably Goudy Old Style, size 12 font, bold. Maybe bullet points

I was bored and found a bunch of funny player intros on youtube. Can you top these? Tony Gonzaliez is my favorite Jared Allen- Culinary Academy

2 because it's WAY dated.

Be sure to check out the inevitable sequel to this thread Bills draft "without a trade"

Your screename is "bonecrusher?!" Why do I imagine an anemic weakling wearing a world of warcraft t-shirt who wears socks with sandals when I see that name? Locked and loaded? Who is this goof?

You publicly stated you are "the biggest bills fan here" on a board full of cutthroat, yet rabid fans. What did you expect, a cookie?

How did this not get discussed more? Much more reasonable contract. It also doesn't preclude us taking another DE in the draft because we don't have as much $ locked into the DE position as previously believed

I liked it, Solid B

Read that article. It was basically a disclaimer for his saying he had no idea who they'd take. Which, ironically, is his job.

I'm thinking Ryan Leaf goes to the Colts over Peyton Manning. The kids a winner and his arm is MUCH stronger than Manning's. Manning has bust written all over him. Mark my words, a team with a Manning at QB could never win the SuperBowl. What do you guys think?

Won't happen. I won't rip on you for bringing it up though cause you're laid up!

Get better bro.

I can't. I really like him. Gilmore and Williams could be our CBs for the next 5 years and I'd be happy.

We waste our 1st rounder on a guard? The rest of the draft sounds like you just picked the guys you've heard of. Pass

Wish him the best. He was a good guy and played his hardest for us

You have very low football IQ then. I watched every snap of every game he played and he got separation from the best cbs they played, though he was often facing doubles. You watched the combine on NFL network and fell in love with a workout warrior with 0 college production.

I think the point is, if he re-signs we know he's a placeholder for Hairston because no one believes Bell can stay healthy for a whole season. I'd love it if Hairston could step p and start for us, but I doubt he's ready this year. That said, what player in the draft are plug and play starters from day 1? Because I don't see anyone other than Kalil. If that's the case, we should just sign a vet to start in front of Hairston for a year. Nix believes there are starters in the draft, but I dunno if he extends that meaning to instant starters. Mayock thinks Reiff could be an LT after 2-3 years playing RT. If that's the case and we're not getting Kalil, I'd rather just go LB/CB/WR in the 1st and draft someone in the 3rd to challenge Hairston.

Why? Just...why?

I wanted to hear this interview, but it's already only available to paid subscribers? That sucks. I've heard of charging for older archives, but not something that happened today. Anyone have the audio?
