PromoTheRobot Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/...to-other-teams/ Another quality player is allowed to talk his way off of the team, and the Bills get nothing in return. I thought those days were over. Five minutes ago they were praising the Bills for this move. So much for consistency. I also believe the Bills have not released him and do not have to until until the final roster cut down day, and ONLY if Schobel officially reports. Right now Schobel is considered "Retired/DNR".

LABills08 Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Nix claimed they won't release him, so this report is in direct contradiction with his interview. Link Nix does not strike me as being a guy who will blatantly mislead the press like that. Not trading Lynch is evidence of that. I wonder if RW finally said, you know what, 8 million dollars isn't worth proving a point. Is his salary the reason why a trade is off the table?

dave mcbride Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 What exactly do you think we could have got for him? That's not the point. As Badolbilz has posted numerous times here, the Bills have a bad habit of caving in to players and getting little to nothing in return. I'd simply hold on to him and force him to retire if need be. If he doesn't report, you don't have to pay him (I don't think), so money isn't the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I really hope that this is not the case. For the past few months, it looked like each side was playing a game of chicken. Now that there are rumors about Schobel thinking about coming back for one year and looking at houses etc, it looks like the Bills are the first side to blink. On the other hand, BB.com (Chris Brown) wrote that the Bills are not going to just release him. Chris Brown - Bills will not release Schobel I hope that is the case. We may as well trade him and get something for him. Whatever happens, I believe that Schobel ends up playing for more than one year (barring injury).

dave mcbride Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 Btw, PFT isn't really the source - LaCanfora of NFL.com is. I would guess that he's in contact with Schobel's agent: http://twitter.com/JasonLaCanfora/status/20149889078 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, you act like it's so easy. If a player won't play, but reports, you're hands are tied unless you want to piss away a roster spot.
