Steely Dan Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Buffalo bills news from Rotoworld. It seems a lot has been going on at OBD recently; Aaron Maybin-LB- Bills Mar. 30 - 11:04 am et Bills OLB Aaron Maybin reported to the team's offseason program at 246 pounds. "If I gain another 10 pounds I think I’ll still be around the same speed, the same explosiveness," he said. Maybin, last year's 11th overall pick, is currently set to compete with Aaron Schobel, Chris Kelsay, and Chris Ellis at outside linebacker. At 6'4/256, he'd have the look of a prototype 3-4 rusher.Source: Buffalo News ________________________________________________________________ This sounds good. Hopefully Maybin will make a strong impact at LB this year. ________________________________________________________________ Cary Harris-DB- Bills Mar. 29 - 5:03 pm et Bills re-signed exclusive rights free agent DB Cary Harris, TE Jonathan Stupar, LB Jon Corto, and WR Felton Huggins to one-year contracts. All four are slated for minimum salaries, and will be on the roster bubble in training camp. Harris, a free safety/cornerback, was a sixth-round pick in 2009. Stupar had a standout preseason last year, but didn't make the team.Related: Jon Condo, Felton Huggins, Jonathan Stupar ________________________________________________________________ Nothing earth shattering here, but I like how they link Jon Condo instead of John Corto. ________________________________________________________________ Keith Ellison-LB- Bills Mar. 29 - 4:55 pm et Bills re-signed restricted free agent LB Keith Ellison to a one-year, $1.176 million contract. Ellison, 26, has been an on-and-off starter at both outside linebacker positions since entering the league in 2006. Highly injury prone and a liability against the run, he'll be phased out with Buffalo transitioning to the 3-4.Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter ________________________________________________________________ Looks like a deal that won't cost much if they decide to cut him in TC ________________________________________________________________ George Wilson-DB- Bills Mar. 29 - 4:54 pm et Bills re-signed restricted free agent S George Wilson to a one-year, $1.759 million contract. The 29-year-old converted wide receiver has emerged as one of the league's most underrated safeties. Wilson racked up a highly impressive 103 tackles last year to go with four picks and two sacks. He should be locked into the starting strong safety job in 2010, especially if Donte Whitner is traded.Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter ________________________________________________________________ I think the one year agreement is only his tender offer. I'm pretty sure they will extend that contract out. If they do a long term contract with him before the draft it will be a very bad sign for Whitner's chances of staying in Buffalo, JMO ________________________________________________________________ Tim Tebow-QB- Player Mar. 29 - 9:05 am et The Bills had Florida QB Tim Tebow in town for a visit Sunday, according to Jim Kelly's wife. Jill Kelly spilled the beans about Jim having dinner with Tebow on Sunday night. New Bills coach Chan Gailey is known for working with mobile quarterbacks as he utilized Kordell Stewart while in Pittsburgh and Reggie Ball at Georgia Tech. The Bills pick ninth in April's draft.Source: Profootballtalk on NBCSports.com Related: Bills ________________________________________________________________ The more I learn about Tebow the less I'm against him wearing a Bills uniform. He's extremely tough and has a Captain Kirkesque mindset about no win scenarios, for himself and his team. I trust BN and if he takes him I wont criticize the pick until two years down the road.

H2o Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I'm still crossing my fingers and hoping that Maybin pans out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwight in philly Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 i am feeling the same way about tebow. at first, i was not overly impressed, but as time goes on, and i learn more, it seems he may have the intangibles to go along with the physical skills to answer our QB problem. either way, if we draft him , wont be unhappy, if not, ok also. grab somebody else.

pBills Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 As long as they don't grab him with the 9th pick I'm cool with it. Maybe 2nd or 3rd round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilcape Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 AHHH! You guys are finaly starting to warm up to the thought if Timmy T. Like ive always thought, he may not be the best QB prospect right now, but all the guy does is win with his fired-up passion, heart and drive. Just as he's gained ground in your minds, he also is gaining ground on teams's draft boards. I hope the bills make a deal to pick up another 2nd and we scoop him there.

tecmobowlbills Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Correct me if i am wrong, but isn't 246 lbs about the same weight that Maybin played at last season? I was hoping he would report in already having gained weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennesseeboy Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 yeah yeah...he must be a winner at linebacker because he was a bust at defensive end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping he would report in already having gained weight. No wonder he feels he should be running at the same speed. Yeah, tecmo, it does sound familiar. As with others in this thread my fingers are crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep2Moulds46 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Say what you want about Maybin, but the guy is clearly putting in the time to get better. He was green coming out and we all knew that, but it's not like he's pulling a Marshawn Lynch or a Mike Williams and taking his money and going home. He clearly has a desire to succeed. If he fails, it won't be for lack of effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endless Ike Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I might go to the draft in NYC this year just to boo if they pick Tebow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertpaul49 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 It also seems that the Bills had to weight room plans for the players, so it was probably up to Maybin to figure out his own workout. I think the Bills will be better if only because their conditioning will be better. Maybin was a development player, only one year starting in college, underweight, etc. Hopefully, he has the work ethic to be successful. I like Keith Ellison, but he is probably best suited as a third down, cover linebacker. Without some more big bodies, it won't matter who they draft at quarterback.

Steely Dan Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 except Capt'n Kirk wasn't a virgin I doubt Tebow is either. Bristol Palin swore to celibacy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 i hate to keep on the Tebow subject and risk getting this thread merged into the Pin but... ive always been a big Tebow fan from watching him play down here, and even jokingly said to my friend a couple years ago "Tebow might end up being our next Jim Kelly". HOWEVER, even as a Tebow fan, I think that given the current QBs on our roster, picking him would be a mistake. He needs at least 1 season, if not a minimum of 2, to be developed. If we were to successfully trade for McNabb, then I'm all for drafting him. But if we bring him in with the schleps we have right now, he'll end up getting rushed in and his chances of failing go up.
