BillsGuyInMalta Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Looks like I'm wrong...I guess they are going to release him. Its a shame to get nothing out of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthICE Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 ...I'm downright confizzled over this. Are they cutting him? Trading him? Forcing his hand to retire? Nix just said they he is NOT playing for Buffalo again. He needs to let them know if he is going to retire or wants to play for someone else. Good for Nix! Schobel is another over rated guy that has taken up way too much cap room on this roster for too many years. He isn't close to being the HOF'er Favre is so there is no way he can sit around like favre does and take his time. Kudo's to Buddy, I am liking his approach more and more each day!

You've got that right. All he knows is how to lose. I won't miss him at all, though I do hope we are able to get something for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Jabber Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 One of Schobel's close friends said Monday he would love to be reunited with Kollar and play for the Texans. Bills defensive end Schobel interested in Texans | Sports | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle Posted on Buffalo Rumblings. It's something Bills fans already knew, but would the Texans be willing to trade for Schobel? If so, what would they offer? I can't imagine a high draft pick for a guy coming into camp this late in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 ...I'm downright confizzled over this. Are they cutting him? Trading him? Forcing his hand to retire? We shall see, but he will not be cut and he will not be just let go. From the postings I have read and can understand, Schobel is waffling. He says that he is more 70/30 to playing right now. But he is not ready to decide. Despite our hardship of having actual team players worthy of Pro Bowl consideration, I strongly applaud the Bills for being bold in this matter. They are making a statement that the TEAM is moving forward. Schobel, I'm sure can call Nix and say that he wants to be a part of that and he would be welcomed back to the team. However, after reading his statements and the statements of the other Bills, it would seem that this is the Bills way of protecting the interest they have in Schobel should another team like the Texans come in and want him. They won't get him for nothing. Bill Kollar is the D Line coach in Houston, and he could put the push on for the Texans to trade maybe a player or a low round draft pick for him. From the Bills perspective, it sends the right message and is a win-win should Schobel not come back. Schobel may only play for 1 more season- as he indicates- and sitting for the whole year would most likely put a damper on that. If Houston wants him, they will have to pay the Bills something for him. It would seem like we may finally have a shrewd front office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, even a 5th rounder would seem fair for a player who was once leaning heavily towards never coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedy G Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 He's done here, they are gonna try to work out a trade if he still wants to play, that's the only scenario, either that or he retires...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharper802 Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 BS They are just telling schobel they aren't cutting him. He is going to have to retire to not play. Thus he gets no money and the Bills still retain his rights. He will be in camp the same week Favre reports and will be the starting OLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trader Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 They should hold his contract status and just keep him on the reserve list. That way he can't go through with his actual intentions of playing for the cowboys or texans. The Bills are going to hold firm it would be foolish to let a player hold out and benefit from it by becoming a free agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Marmelade Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 :thumbsup: F**k Schobel. PTR My thoughts EXACTLY. He wants to play for the Texans, but he's going about it the wrong way - man up and ask for a release, and when you don't get it, don't go away crying...

Nix seemed pretty settled on the fact that AS is DONE! Edit: ....done at least playing for the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
