We already did and then pissed him off by not renewing his coaching contract.
Damn, you're right. I'm back on the Clay bandwagon.
Can someone please do a search of the Twitter thing and find something that says he's definitely signing with the Bills?
-
I say we just bring back Pete Metzelaars.

I'm over it

Same here. The Bills have more cap room than the Dolphins and don't have to unload anyone to make it happen. What that tells me is that either (a) he really didn't want to come to Buffalo or (b) while the Bills liked him, they didn't like him enough to want to exceed whatever limit they set for him. Either way, good riddance.

If and when this team does finally make the playoffs, there are going to be some seriously pumped up players on the field. I'm in the camp who doesn't think we should keep Freddie just for sentimental purposes, but it would be really sweet to see him play in his first playoff game. Kyle Williams hasn't been there either, nor have Mario, Wood, Dareus and a vast majority of fan favorites.

@AdamSchefter: Saints are giving RB C.J. Spiller a 4-year, $18 million deal that includes $9 million guaranteed, per source. Last year of deal can void.
In terms of annual salary, isn't that what he supposedly turned down from the Bills? Not sure about guarantees, options, etc.

I'm sorry, but if Miami wants to have two high-paid TEs, neither of whom are named "Gronkowski" or "Graham," plus the huge cap numbers for Suh, Wallace, and Tannehil, I'm not sure that's necessarily a bad thing.

Reading the tea leaves a bit, Miami is going to be in some trouble cap-wise next year. They've already got $128M committed to 36 players, and that's not counting Jordan Cameron. Now, in order to fit Cameron under this year's cap, his cap number has to be $6M or less (that's without creating room to sign draft picks), which means his cap number next year will be approx. $9M (at least).

That means that they're at $137M for 37 players. Now, they will probably cut Dannell Ellerbe (likely post June 1st designation), which means his dead money will be reduced from $7M down to $3.5Mish, and they can probably restructure Mike Wallace to bring his number down from $13M, but that would kick a very large can into 2017 (cap number would be about $20M and nearly half of it would be bonus money).
So realistically, we're talking about Miami being at $130M+ for 37 players, and still having to address the contracts of Olivier Vernon and Mike Pouncey.
Seeing that $28.5 million cap number for Suh in 2016 is HILARIOUS. I assume that they have a plan to restructure it at some point, but that's probably not something you want hanging out there unresolved.

Wish him all the best. That said, it probably would have been cheaper (and less painful) for them if they had managed their cap better last year and just kept Sproles.

The NFL should just cancel the the season and go with a year-round FA period. This past week has been way more entertaining than 99% of the games last year!
-
Not saying that wasn't a terrible draft (Troup alone ensures that is the case), but I don't think we're the only team saying that five years out. I just took a quick look at that draft and sorted by team (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_NFL_draft) and note that there are a bunch of teams without anyone left from 2010 -- e.g., Indy, Detroit (now that Suh is gone).

DeMarco reminds me of a girl made at her boyfriend for not paying attention to her so she runs to another guy to make him jealous and waiting for him to beg her to come back . With this Dallas-Philly thing.
Might want to avoid the relationship analogies when talking about DeMarco.

Kiko comes in and makes this defense better. Right now we have stayed the same from last year...pre draft of course. The jets and phins both improved their defense greatly...I'd say Miami is slightly behind us right now defensively but not by much and the jets I think have the best defense in the league and could get better should they go defense with that number 6 pick. We could have signed Murray and he could have a similar impact as shady. we will see.
Really? In the entire NFL?

You shouldn't be allowed to start a thread again, ever.
This wins the internet for today.

I'm going to miss his 9th inning heroics. Dude was a heck of a closer!
-
This story basically encapsulates the offseason so far. Guy runs as fast as he can away from the sinking ship that is the 49ers, but quickly realizes that the Eagles are also approaching train wreck status and goes somewhere else.
-
Couldn't both of those "nuggets" also be characterized as common sense?
-
Isn't he basically a PED suspension waiting to happen?
Not to brag, but called it: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/03/06/report-laron-landry-suspended-10-games-for-violating-ped-policy/

Aaron Rodgers - QB
J.J. Watt - DE
Marshall Yanda - OG
Luke Kuechly - MLB
Rob Gronkowski - TE
Anything short of that (although I could probably live with Luck instead of Rodgers), and Doug needs to go!
-
Marshall and Harvin competing for passes from Geno Smith -- what could possibly go wrong with that scenario????
-
He's not going to refuse to be a Bill. I really believe that this entire" he's not happy" thing is nothing more than a calculated attempt to re-work his contract in light of the fact that his 2016 salary isn't guaranteed. I'm not a cap person, but I would think that his contract can be re-done in a way that benefits both sides (i.e., spreading out the cap hit over time, but also guaranteeing more future money). Remember, Drew Rosenhaus is his agent and he is not going to let his client crater a deal simply because of a temper tantrum over having to move 350 miles away (TO notwithstanding). It's all about the money.

The Cowboys. A year or two from now, you can add either the Bills or Eagles to that list, but for now the Cowboys are the clear winners of this trade.
-
In light of the McCoy-Kiko trade, I think it's safe to say that this thread might be just a touch off. The trade may turn out horribly for us (although I don't think that will be the case) but this is definitely NOT the same old Bills.
-
It's going to be really interesting to see what the plan is at QB. On the one hand, having a top tier RB means that they can run a low risk passing game with a half decent veteran (or even EJ). On the other hand, this is an "all in" move, so you really can't take any chances.

How is it still snowing on April 1st?!?!
Will the Bills ever sign Charles Clay?

Other than seeing and hearing his name during the small number of Dolphins games I watch each year (i.e., two games against the Bills and an occasional featured game), I don't think I spent even 10 seconds of my life thinking about Charles Clay prior to this offseason. Yet, I've spent the past few days checking every site I know on a routine basis trying to get an update on his status, thought process, etc.
Free agency is a really weird time of year. . .
