Here are the terms:
Bills | Holcomb Agrees to Terms - from www.KFFL.com
Fri, 4 Mar 2005 16:44:21 -0800
Len Pasquarelli, of ESPN.com, reports the Buffalo Bills have agreed to terms with unrestricted free agent QB Kelly Holcomb (Browns). The contract agreement is for a four-year, $6.6 million deal, including a $2 million signing bonus. Holcomb is expected to compete with QB J.P. Losman for the starting job.
I am quite pleased with this signing! KH is a competitor who has played in the cold, and now he has better weapons.
I also hope that there IS competition for the starting job, just in case JP is slightly worse than Steve Young in his prime, or is injured in practice, etc.
Our DL is young and will improve. We have great safties (when healthy) With help in the draft at OL, CB, and backup RB, this could be a VERY good football team.

2001 - Jennings
2002 - Teague and Williams
2004 - Villarrial and McNally
I don't think the line has been ignored almost every year for the last 5 years, unfortunately our line was pretty awful to begin with and there is only so much that can be done at one time, especially since the team was so horrendously bad at most positions when TD had to make all those salary cap cuts (it was not just the loss of the starters but we had very little 'up and coming' talent / depth when he took over either).
That being said I do hope we bring in at least one other decent lineman and resign Price as the front does look a little thin right now.
True, TD has devoted resources to the OL. The problem was Mr. Butler (rest his soul) in terms of blocking. While other teams such as the Steelers were bringing in monster linemen, we were getting Spriggs, Nails, Panos, Farris, Loucheiy and other bad players.
To make things worse, he signed a stiff, Jerry Ostroski, to a huge long term deal, and John Fina is a rich man today with the money he was paid for being a bad LT. Our OL was garbage when TD arrived.
I believe that there is never a bad time to draft players who can block. I also hope that TD has is eye on a particular OG in this draft class. Ruben Brown excelled as a rookie. Others have done well.
The only problem I see is that the Bills are in a near crisis situation at CB. This will have to be addressed as well.
Remember those rumors.....Henry for Surtain? THAT would have been great! It would have allowed TD to focus more on the OL.

Yeah, my job has a ton to do with it... The millions of people who PURCHASE the porn, and pay tons of money for it wouldn't have a tranished image of women at all. (ya know, cause I'm sure YOU have never looked at porn on the internet, right? No one does. It's "everyone else" making the company i work for worth hundreds of millions of dollars).
What a retarded thing to say.
Like I've said before, I work in a beautiful office. There's no "porn" anywhere in the office. At all. I deal with Marketing. Meaning, I make sure people who are looking for porn anyway come to our site instead of another.
That being said (and hopefully the LAST time i ever have to explain that), this girls story has more issues with it than anything.
Her attorney's said they would have a case if she testified. Her rapist could be IN JAIL if she testifies. But she won't.
I am far from a prude. I was a single police officer in Midtown Manhattan. The fantasy that you market is one thing. Everybody has to make a living. Living it out was fun too. You should try it.
You have every right to think that my question (not a statement mind you) was "retarded." Otoh, it might not hurt to ask yourself exactly why you choose to support this person over a woman who, problems notwithstanding, claims to have been abused. Wasn't there also a claim of forced anal sex? How does this sit with you?
Climb higher on the smut bandwagon as you choose. I for one choose to NOT give the benefit of the doubt to this guy when there were other women standing by to testify at a civil suit.
So we differ, OK? Perhaps now you can calm the %$#^ down.
PS: No, I have never purchased porn on the internet.
-
Do you think that working in the porno industry might serve to tarnish your image of all women? Serious question.
It sounds as if you dismiss the posibility that this animal ever abused ANY woman. Is this what you think?

Amos Zeroue would cost either less or the same and is a well rounded football player.
Tell me, what does Travis do well besides run, this when he does not fall in front of truck sized holes, runs into the backs of his blockers or fumbles away the football? Can he block? Play STs? Can he figure out pass routes? Can he catch? Is he a smart player? Did he miss a team flight to a dolphin game? Did he have a sexual escapade with a 15 year old? How is his w/l record as a starter? Drew shines in comparison, right?
Remind me what it is that you like about this turd. Then, please explain to me why Mr. Wilson will want to pay him to be on the Buffalo Bills football team.

I do! I think that would be a literal steal. If I was GM, I would even give up a 2nd round pick in 06 if backed to the wall, but not a first rounder.
Remember, Arizona would be doing us a favor to rid us of this barey functional miscreant.
Honestly, as much as I hope for this trade, it is hard to believe that Arizona nor any other team would give anything up for this dimwit, let alone someone who can play LT in the NFL.

His image is already tarnished.......
When I look at this situation.....I am looking much deeper then Kobe Bryant. I am deeply bothered by the lack of accountibility that LABillz speaks of and what it says as a whole.....
This whole thing has been a circus that has brought out the bad in a lot of things to the spotlight.......
- Womans activist groups......while they do serve positive roles on some things.......it has really shown me the nature of their game is grandstanding....they will not admit that they might have been incorrect as if even the possibility of them being wrong takes away from their cause....GALS.....when you discover that you are backing a bad horse...at least have the decency and common sense to say that you should have waited till ALL of the facts have come out. The other thing is the horrible gender double standard that has reared its ugly head for everyone to see.......
- The other thing is the corruptness of the District Attorney in this case....these guys are supposed to be attempting to FIND THE TRUTH.....and if they find out their client is not worthy they should be attempting to win by hook or by crook.....this friggen guy LITERALLY HID EVIDENCE that he knew would hurt his case. He also literally REFUSED to turn over evidence so that the defense could test it. and when his case started to crumble he decided that he was going to take Kobe down with him....
Kobe is no saint....I only hope that he learned a lesson and that he can keep his family together.....but in my opinion there are bigger scumbags afoot then Kobe Bryant
Hey John, it was reported that other women were ready to come forward at a civil suit. Does this mean anything to you?

That's a fair guesstimation, based on now having a very mobile QB with actual pocket presence. I'm sure the Williams move is being considered but it doesn't bother me if he stays at RT, regardless of his salary.
Yet if the Bills go out and sign a big LG who is a road grader for the run, then the chances for the switch to LT would probably increase. As you state, the OT pool is strictly guys who are natural RT's.
I'm not worried about Center this year. Both Teague and Tucker can play there. Teague was much improved last season.
The OL improved the second Losman was made the QB.
>>>>The OL improved the second Losman was made the QB.<<<<
Probably so, but it took a hit last night.

If we don't get a 3rd or better, Travis will be a Bill next year. I don't think that will lead to locker room problems, but if it does it will not help Henry in any way for a guy in his contract year.
I really do not think we will be able to pick up anyone in the draft as a viable backup, so keeping Henry seems like a good option as a back up. If he doesn't like it tough sh-- for him.
In some ways I think not getting rid of Henry is a good thing. I have never seen a RB who is in 100% of the offensive plays. Henry would be satisfactory to good if he had to step in and start a few games for Willis if need be. I like what I saw from Shaud last year but I'm not sure he is the back up starter we need.
That being said I still hope we can pull off a trade to get Shelton. OL is our main priority, not RB, but we need to get a 3rd for Henry or better for it to make sense trading him.
I respectfully disagree. Along with others, I am sick of the wrong routes, missed blocks, sliding on his asss, dropped passes, whining. off field conduct, and most important....losing, and I dont pay his check, Mr. Wilson does.
As a starting player, all he does is lose. Look at the stats. Henry is a bona fide loser.
For a long time, posters were expecting first round picks, Robert Gallery, etc. in a trade. Reality seems to be slowly sinkng in, but make no mistake, he will be GONE, one way or another.
I cannot imagine Ralph willingly turning over 1.25 million dollars to this whining, bumbling miscreant.

I do not believe that there are 5 teams out there willing to give something up for Travis Henry.
What I do believe is that if and when he is cut, there will certainly be teams that will offer him the NFL minimum, or thereabout.
-
Chrebet was a very good player. Sadly, he is also a hit or 2 away from death. WAY too many head injuries!
-
I think that TD will sign a free agent guard like Mayberry from the Eagles and then draft a LT. This is probably the most cost effective (not the best) way to deal with the o-line.
For DT, my guess is that TD will go with Edwards/Anderson since there are few quality free agent DTs available.
If TD does draft a LT, it is not likely that he will step in and start. Jonas was on the right side for a while, and even Gallery played some OG last year before moving over to LT.
My guess is Teague at LT, but again, this is merely a guess.
-
I would offer a 3rd round pick in 06.
With Henry continuing to pout, this might not be enough anyway.

I'm not sure he would do well there but I think that MW is not just likely to move to LT, I think it is probably definite. He wasn't drafted that high and paid that much to be a right tackle. You can't have two lineman getting paid left tackle money which is the situation we were facing with MW on the roster and Jennings' contract being up. Someone had to go. MW is going to move out to the left side and we will get a RT who will get paid RT money.
My concern is that he will not be able to handle playing LT. He has mostly underwhelmed us with his performance on the field so far. Showing up to camp an out of shape, over weight head case last summer was ridiculous. It is not so easy to move from one side to the other. Everything is different. The skill set required to excel is not the same. What gives me hope is that McNally knows what he is doing and he must think Mike can handle the move so who am I to question the move?
We'll see.
Micky, logic would make it seem as if you are correct, but I am less than sure.
MW did improve toward the middle/end of last season at RT, but I would like to see more.
Teague otoh has LT experience, seems to have bulked up a bit, and is imo more agile than Big Mike. Additionally, TT will see these huge contracts LTs are signing, AND have McNally helping him.
I think that Teague moving to LT is every bit as likely MW going there.
-
You know, it will be hard for the Bills to be as good at LT this season if we lose Jennings. The same applies (although a little less) with PW.
That said, I dont care. 3 years from know, what do you think their combined cap hits will be? Between 15 and 20 million dollars? This would certainly hinder the Bills.
I am glad TD has the self control and confidence not to be shaken down by good but FAR from great players. Remember, we are not talking about losing Orlando Pace and Mean Joe Green.
In time, we will replace these two should they depart.....maybe sooner than we think.
-
Your point would be valid if you weren't talking about a functional idiot.
One would figure that most people in Henry's position would play their arse off to make sure that Buffalo would have a very hard choice in the off-season, or at the very least have every team lining up for my services. Henry should look no further than Drew Brees in how to handle a competitive situation.
Now Henry's sulking has even alienated Arizona? Please.
If this guy didn't have heart when it could have served him well last year, what makes you think that he'll go all out in '05 as the back-up?
Bills are better off taking any deal and running.
BRAVO!!!!!!!
I will be in utter shock if Travis brings anything close to a 2nd. Personally, I would prefer to grab the million dollar or so cap room and get rid of him in any way necessary.
The Bills have a 2nd year coach and a 2nd year qb. I am thinking that neither of them needs to be distracted by the continuing saga of a lousy football player, and as you said, a (barely) functional idiot.
-
If the coaches like the move I am OK with it, but I dont see MW being agile enough for the LT spot.
Truthfully, I was hoping he would improve at RT.

John, the Bills could save approx. 1,25 million by cutting his dumb, disloyal ass. This could help us get a much needed OG, etc.
Travis for Shelton (straight up) was a pipe dream anyway.
Now, perhaps a few more posters can see what a stupid scumbag this guy is.
Watch, his career is all but over.

I have had at least 8 of them.
Pay the extra money and get nitrous oxide in addition to the novacaine (sic?).
You will be one happy Bills fan!
Plaxico is scheduled to take a Jint physical.

Yeah, I can. The jints are one of 2 football teams that pretend to be from NY.
