John from Riverside Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I love the killer mentality as a linemen...... We will have to see how they handle this....it creates another OL hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyT Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I'm mostly surprised because you would think that he still has decent value and another team might take a chance and push to sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolinaBill Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 interesting, I wonder if we still get the chance to match any offer sheet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 WTF? Another brain dead decision for this club. Butler retires. We have tomato cans at tackles. Wood is coming off a horrific injury- potentially career ending. We have 2 decent healthy lineman on the entire roster. And we do not tender Incogneto. Man it is tough to be a Bills fan. I could not screw this team up this bad if I tried. Thank God for the Nets- so we are not the worst franchise in all sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Very stupid move, we seriously had no depth to begin with. Unless the Bills are planning on bringing 2-3 free agents and 2-3 draft picks, we'll actually be worse off than we were last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Rob Johnson Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 interesting, I wonder if we still get the chance to match any offer sheet? what??? No, if he is not tendered he becomes a UFA. Perhaps Wood is coming along fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfreak Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I love the killer mentality as a linemen...... We will have to see how they handle this....it creates another OL hole. I like his attitude, but it appears they are going to stick to the "Character" thing that they talked about at the initial press conference. Incognito is severely lacking in the character department. You can pretty much count Lynch gone too for the same reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 im pretty surprised (and disappointed) by this too. Incognito did a pretty decent job for being thrown into the fire with a new team. i liked his attitude. but then again, we dont have to work with the guy everyday. who knows anymore...

billsfreak Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 interesting, I wonder if we still get the chance to match any offer sheet? Not if there is no tender, they become unrestricted free agents. That is the whole purpose of placing a tender on it so you can match any offer or get compensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolinaBill Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 what??? No, if he is not tendered he becomes a UFA. Perhaps Wood is coming along fine. No he's a RESTRICTED free agent, meaning he still has a yr left on his contract, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito is severely lacking in the character department. You can pretty much count Lynch gone too for the same reasons. what type of character are we talking here? and frankly, before you even answer, the whole "character" thing is so ridiculous at this point. most fans incorrectly believed that "character" meant "choir boy", because thats what the fans wanted. but that was NEVER the definition. and as ive posted previously, the only people on record as having a problem with lynch are the "fans". the same fans that sit online and B word about any/every move. this assumption that the team thinks lynch is a "no good thug" just because people in the suburbs of buffalo are afraid of black people has gone way too far.

I could not screw this team up as bad if I tried. Thank God for the Nets- so we are not the worst franchise in all sports I'm sure there is a lot more behind this then we know. Remember the Rams didn't get a trade for him they just cut him. Chansaw is trying to build team chemistry and I'm not surprised Incognito doesn't fit into his plans. I won't be surprised at all to see ML traded soon either. JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennesseeboy Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 No..he's too aggressive for us. He hits people too hard and gets real mad when he plays. We don't want players like him. We need nice players who aren't all hung up on that winning and losing crap. Seriously? I think this is a very very bad omen...I'm skeptical of thenew crew and I hope this isn't the first of a series of bad personnel moves. Incognito played well in the games he played and would have AT LEAST been an excellent backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 No he's a RESTRICTED free agent, meaning he still has a yr left on his contract, right? no, his contract is up, but as long as we tender him, we'd get right of first refusal basically. he could talk to other teams about a contract, but we'd have a chance to match and keep him. if we dont tender, he's officially a UFA.

MattyT Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 No he's a RESTRICTED free agent, meaning he still has a yr left on his contract, right? Article I read said he was an UFA. I think once we don't tender him then he's no longer restricted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Rotoworld has already removed him from the Bills page. They are usually right on top of these things. http://www.rotoworld.com/content/clubhouse...amp;majteam=BUF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, white people are terrified of black people and that is why Marshawn Lynch's behavior is not soundly accepted. In fact white people in general have a really tough time worshipping black athletes with all that fear paralyzing them. Oh and trust me all the people in the city aren't cool with Lynch's problems either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
