If I had a million dollars I'd buy us a D-End (Jason Taylor). Shall we upgrade or stand pat?

You are either proud of being a Bills fan or you are not a Bills fan. Pretty simple.
-
Jones is a very good back , but is coming off his 2nd serious injury in 2 years.
-
Word is that most of the Bills young receivers are dropping alot of passes at the OTA's. Stevie Johnson may be the exception to the bunch
Mayle, Huggins, Jenkins, Jones, & even Hardy are dropping too many balls
?? Do you expect these guys to even make the team?

So the player must be loyal to the team unless he under-performs, then its okay for the team to cut him? If the player out-performs his contract though he has to shut his mouth and be loyal?
Why do the fanboys always take the teams side?
I would like you to explain this train of thought please. Why should players be loyal to their contracts if the teams aren't?
Exactly. There is no such thing as loyalty and I get tired of hearing about it. This is a big money business where the employees want to get as much as they can as often as they can and management wants to pay as little as possible as often as they can. It's pretty simple. This is why I hate the off-season. Bring on the games!!!

What possible harm can come from bringing him in for training camp at least? Never mind if he can beat out Fowler, not that that wouldn't be great. I'd like to see him here just to give preston, etc. a run for their money.
How: I'd sign him for 4 million over 2 years but only give him $500k in guaranteed money/signing bonus and put $2 million up as roster bonus, one mil for each year, and see how it goes. Or something like that. Give him enough so he takes it but make 80% of it based on performance.
What makes you think he would sign for only $500k guaranteed? It will take more than that.
-
He's not going to be cheap and everyone here wants to give Peters a new contract. Would be a very expensive line. Still would be great to get him if he is healthy.

ESPN reports that Bentley asks for and granted his release.
This is a surprise...he was cleared to practice with the Browns just yesterday morning.
My guess is Crennel told him he had to compete for a position, and Bentley didn't want to do that.
Thoughts? Would you like him is a Bills' uniform?
I would have before he tore apart his knee twice.

If Buffalo dont take care of Jason Peters.............
Simple fact ladies and gents. Our left tackle is the main frame behind this offense. You think we can put any trust into Kirk Chambers? He sucks......Anyone see him play? He's the Tim Anderson of the offense.
Im sorry, but if Buffalo dont take care of this Peters thing ASAP, the offense simply wont click!
And I dont care who you have on offense....
He's not going to sit the whole year. He will show up whether he gets a new contract or not.
-
It could be considered a tough call, and the Bills do seemingly hold all the cards, for now. Still, I am hoping that they think of a way to make him happy. The guy can flat out play, and he does so at a position that is next to impossible to fill with a star, unless you are talking about a top 5 pick.
His best way to get a new deal is to show up. He will not get a new contract while he sits out. He is our best lineman at the top position.
-
They did, and then they signed a LG and a RT to much bigger contracts. I heard Dockery call Peters "The Franchise" on Sirius Radio, and he makes twice as much as Peters.
Under normal circumstances I would agree with you if you think that they should wait, but not this time. Peters, if he continues to develop at this rate, will be the best LT in the history of the Bills and yes, this does include Wolford.
Jmo.
I understand your point and don't want to argue, but what if he doesn't continue to develop? What if he gets his money and get lazy? Tough call for the Bills right now and Peters is taking a very costly chance sitting out. Plus contacts go up every year. Just because another player signs a larger contract, you are not entitled to one.
-
The Bills are making a stupid move if they don't lock him up. They can sign him long term for much less than he is worth.
I thought they already did that a couple of years ago.
-
The NFL doesn't translate to normal work contracts. In the NFL, the owner can cancel the contract at any time by cutting the player and the player only gets guaranteed money. Thus, the player's only recourse for these somewhat one-sided contracts is to try to renegotiate them.
So I have some sympathy for the NFL player in these situations--it's not easy to say "just show up and play--you have a contract" when the owners aren't held to the same standard.
It's a situation unique in pro sports to the NFL because injuries can stop a career on a dime.
This a good point, but the guarantees are usually in the $10M-$20M range so I do not feel that bad for them.

The Superfan package IS the HD package, so yes, if you want to see Sunday Ticket games in HD, you have to purchase Superfan.
I was close!!
-
Do you need to purchase the Super Fan add-on to get the Sunday Ticket games in HD (assuming you are already set up for Directv HD)??
thanks in advance
Don't think so, but you have to purchase the HD package for $99.00 and I think Super Fan is included.
-
Not sure how smart this is. Those fines add up quickly. Not sure but I think it is a few grand for each practice missed.
-
I think it's pretty naive to think that with all the money in sports that this stuff does not happen. Big money in betting on sports.
-
yeah big WR's suck, just look at Randy Moss, TO, Larry Fitzgerald, Braylon Edwards, Larry Fitzgerald, Marques Colston, Plaxico Burress, Brandon Marshall. Why the hell would anyone want a big WR like them on their team?
You're not saying Jones belongs in that group?
-
Where is the "We could have him put on some weight and convert him to a TE" post?
Give me a minute......
-
Yup.
Seems normal. Have you ever played on Championship teams before? When you participate there is a different feeling when you win than there is when you sit on the bench.
-
Why? Because he enjoyed winning a Cup that he played in more than winning a Cup he did not play in?
-
I didnt say upgrade in my post........
Im just as p'd off as everyone else is about Lynch, honestly though, if he gets suspended that can really hurt this team for more then 4 weeks. He will miss 4 weeks and be that much more behind on offense then the rest of the group. Technically it could hurt this team for the entire season.......
Kinda worried about this team right now.
I understand your concern, but when Bruce was suspended for 4 games (1988?) it did not hurt the team that much. It may not be a fair comparison but close.
-
Alexander wouldn't be an upgrade over Lynch, but he's better than Jackson and that was the point of the original post.
I don't think Alexander would be an upgrade over Jackson. He is slowly down big time and career is probably over.
-
Is he still available? I mean he might be insurance if Lynch is wacked with a suspension. Face the facts folks, if Lynch gets a suspension no RB on this roster can play at his level, that includes Action Jackson. Season may be doomed before it even begins.......but its the Bills what the hell else is new right?
FYI to the authorities involved........LIFT UP CARPET, SWEEP THIS LYNCH PROBLEM UNDER IT.......besides the broad was from Canada, what was she doing here? Id check her to see if she was here legally.......friggin Canuks.......
Please remember that Alexander is NOT at the level he once was. He would not be an upgrade. If Lynch is suspended, Jackson will start.
