Spiller, the team's first-round draft choice, remains unsigned. During an interview on ESPNews, Allen Wilson, of The Buffalo News, said he believes a deal could be completed toward the end of the week or by early next week. He said the two sides have moved forward in negotiations, but they still are not where they need to be. http://www.kffl.com/hotw/nfl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Rob Johnson Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 End of this week or early next week still is a ways off, especially considering all but three are signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Yeah, that's far from "soon." That's missing a week of camp, and almost half of another week. Get your azz into camp, Spiller! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoobydum Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 soon? did you even read it? Valid point, changed to 1 week or less. There is movement, which is a good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyjustbcuz Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 End of this week or early next week still is a ways off, especially considering all but three are signed. Yep, and the Bills upper management need to look beyond the cost of signing spiller as he is one of the few Bills players that may entice fans like me to buy season or individual tickets. The Bills have little star power and I am waivering on rather I want to spend my money buying tickets when the product is lacking to begin with. I'm on the fence and Spiller not in camp is just one more reason that I am slowly debating if I'll buy seasons. I was very interested in Spiller besides Jairus Byrd, and Fred Jackson..and he may be one of only a handful of players that I am looking forward to watching...Anyways, long story short is get'em in here!!!!!

Motel_Sandwich Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 As far as having a rookie contract hold-out, I'm glad it's a RB. I'm pretty sure he's well versed in the play book by now, and knows how to run fast and avoid people wearing a different helmet than him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermike Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I wonder what "a week away" means in terms of something like this. Imminent seems to mean that they both realize that there are no significant issues, and they just need to write it all out and double check everything. Far apart could mean anything. Is there just a really complicated document in production that's going to take days of work, or are they guessing how long the bluffs will last?

Hplarrm Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Same FO (Mr. Ralph and Brandon with Nix added to supplement demonstrated lack of football production rather than contract expertise) produces the same outcome of nickel and diming over biggest contract til the last minute.

H2o Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 The NFL is a business as well as a sport. Its CJ and his agent's job to make sure he gets the best deal he can. This is not a Dez Bryant situation where a top notch talent fell because of some possible character flaws. CJ was the first RB taken, regarded as the most electrifying playmaker in the draft, and seems to be one of the better people out of the bunch character wise. Pay him like you want him on the team and get him into camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
