Is this why James signed the franchise tender? Now he can sign a long term contract with Indy or in a sign and trade during this period?

The Stadium becomes bare! Come on, like it or not, this proposed stadium will make so much money for NYC and the surrounding area. It will be the premier stadium venue in the world for musicians, soccer, football, you name it. Why do you think MSG and the Dolans have spent over $20m lobbying against it? What would Buffalo do with $300m? Build another subway that 100 people ride on a daily basis. How much tax revenue do you think actually comes out of WNY? Do you honestly think NYC would care if WNY left the state from a tax revenue standpoint?

Seems like DeMulling wants to come to the Bills but is using the Lions as leverage. Highly unlikely that it is the other way around as TD doesn't play that game and Millen is a proven moron as GM. So I think it depends on how inflated an offer Millen is willing to make.

$6m under the cap - why do the Colts need more cap room? What are they gonna do with $14m in cap room if they trade James?

I gotta believe if Law comes here, it will be a 1 year deal. All it will do is provide the Bills some leverage with Nate, but in the end if Law recovers and is an adequate replacement to Nate, Law never seemed like the loyal type and will probably go to the highest bidder after. And I'd rather throw my money at a 26year old Clements than a 32 year old Law.

TD is not against spending money (see Takeo), he's just against giving top dollar to non-elite players. Nate jumped into the elite status this year. I think Nate will continue to be a Bill.

Do you honestly think that an OT scheduled to make $3m per season would still be on the market if he was any good? With guys like Jennings and McKenzie getting $12m in signing bonuses and $5m per year, you would think teams would be lining up to give the Cards at least a 3rd round pick for this guy. It tells me the guy just isn't highly thought of around the league. With Travis, you know what you are getting and if he had the same contract situation as Shelton, he would probably easily fetch a 2nd rounder. The longer Donahoe waits and the longer Shelton is still with the Cards, the price for him will keep dropping.

Seems like we have a good shot to land Demulling. Also, on the Shelton front, with the Cards signing their starting RT and Chicago reportedly close to locking up Fred Miller, it looks like the Cards options are dwindling with Shelton. If TD really wants him, it looks like Shelton could be had for a 4th rounder. At this point, the Cards would have to throw in a draft pick in a trade for Henry.

Why on earth would we trade Clements? He is probably one of the top 5 CB's in the NFL and isn't even 25 years old. Plus he doesn't get hurt and plays the run. If he is looking for ridiculous money, franchise him every year until he signs a long term contract. I can't think of another CB I would rather have for this team.

San Francisco????? Well, now we know for sure that Jennings was never serious about staying here. Unless it is longer than a 5 year contract, Jennings will not be a winning team for the life of the deal.

Actually, the Jets have Fabini at LT so that's exactly who Jennings would be matched up against. Do the Jets have a team policy whereby every starter on the offensive and defensive line must make at least $5m per year?

I believe Indianapolis is one of the 5 teams.

Doesn't Fabini play LT for the Jets and didn't they just sign him to a huge deal? So now the Jets are overpaying a guy in LT-money-terms to play RT?? Doesn't add up.

No one is offering a 2nd rounder for Shelton according to various reports. If TD wants Shelton, he will get him for a 3rd rounder, provided Henry is not involved. This also makes you believe Shelton is not the answer at LT and that Big Mike is probably moving over there if we get Shelton.

You are pannicking. TD never puts all his eggs in one basket. Wait to see what happens. Let Arizona get a 3rd rounder for Shelton and have them spend their top 10 pick on a RB who better pan out if you are shelling out that kind of money. The only RB this year worth that kind of money is Benson and he will be gone by then. The Auburn guys have nice physical numbers but have never carried a full workload in college much less the NFL. I would never take a RB in the top 10 that you have to project how they are going to carry a full workload.

If the Jets sign Pat Williams, that will be an obsene amount of money tied up in the 4 starters on their d-line. Each one will be making at least $5m per year. Throw in Jonas, Pennington, Moss, Fabini. Why and how are the Jets going to over-pay for Jonas and Williams?

Throw in nothing. Henry is a better player than Shelton. Henry lost his job to potentially a top 5 RB. Shelton was benched on a horrible team. You know what you are getting with Travis. Shelton is a crap shoot. The only thing that makes the trade close to even is Shelton plays tackle and has a favorable contract to the team he is traded too

Chaney is getting off easy because the coach at St. Joe's and the A-10 commissioner are cowards. If someone did that to one of my players, I would call for his resignation immediately or never play his team again. Same goes for the commissioner of that conference. They are afraid of Chaney.

That's right. Everyone at OBD wanted to smear Bledsoe and screw him over so much that they released him a week before they had to and let him get a head start on where to land.

Here's what SD should do: tell Brees they'll sign him to a long term deal but he ain't getting a signing bonus since the reason they took Rivers is that Brees sucked for 3 years. Trade Rivers and eat the cap hit, and everyone's happy.

Fair enough about the shoulder injury thing and not being able to work out. But he still would have been the #1 pick. I think the guy has all the tools as well, but going to a supplemental draft now when your OC leaves seems awfully wierd.

I wouldn't want a guy who changes his mind because his offensive coordinator leaves. When you are the #1 pick and you go back to school, that is enough of a head scratcher unto itself. Throw this one on top of that, and Leinart is either flaky or scared of something.

San Diego is crazy if they trade Brees. It has taken them 20 years to find a good QB and they find one who happens to be 26 years old and they trade him? Who the heck knows how Rivers is going to turn out. If anything, trade Rivers for a 1st rounder and eat the cap space (which they have plenty of). If they aren't enamored with their 3 first round picks, trade one or two of them for Orlando Pace or somebody else to fit their fancy.

No one is giving Drew a starting job without a high-caliber young QB waiting in the wings. Cleveland is the only AFC team I can think of but you gotta think they will go QB in the 1st round. They are miles away from contending so I can't see why they wouldn't take their lumps getting the rookie ready. There's Chicago and Dallas in the NFC. Testaverde is better than Drew and I can't imagine they would trade one re-tread for another and waste another year at the position. Chicago might work for Drew if they are writing Grossman off. But I would rather find out what I have in Grossman once and for all then waste time with Bledsoe on the field. There's Arizona but I don't think Green is lying that he's not interested. Maybe San Francisco. The owner is cheap and Drew might put some people in the stands, but if they go QB in round 1, see Cleveland above.

There really is not much to lose and much to gain replacing Drew with Losman. It is obvious we were never going to win a championship with Bledsoe. Groundhog's day had to end. And what is with all the 'we better make the playoffs'-crap? That is just a loser mediocre attitude. That's all people want to do? What more evidence do people need we will never sniff the Patriots in our division or any of the other elite teams in the AFC with Bledsoe at QB?
