bills1960 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 (edited) What are the chances he stays in Buffalo after this year? Because watching the press conference it got me excited but then I remembered we only have him on contract for another few months. Thoughts?

Zona Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 It will be virtually impossible to keep him. Unless we sign him to an extension BEFORE the end of the season. If the season ends, and we haven't extended him yet, then the looming lockout makes it impossible to sign or negotiate with free agents. The labor dispute will cause a huge problem for the NFL next summer IMO. I can honestly see the entire 2011 season being wiped out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoner7 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I think we have a very good chance of keeping him around. This is a guy who has a lot to prove, and if he proves to be good we have a head start to signing him as he is already here. If he sucks then he is a lock to stay here as we always resign guys that suck. Â In reality, our team is terrible. our opponents could triple team him every play if they wanted. He is not going to produce like a maniac and get some huge contract elsewhere. At the end of the year we are going to be the only team that knows his true value and my bet is we lock him up long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drinkTHEkoolaid Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 It all depends... money talks. Â he seems to have a good relationship with buddy nix, and if he plays decent here i'm sure we would offer him an extension. If the season ends on a good note who knows where it will lead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthICE Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 What are the chances he stays in Buffalo after this year? Because watching the press conference it got me excited but then I remembered we only have him on contract for another few months. Thoughts? Â Â Zero. Jay Glazier commented after talking to Merriman when picked up off waivers his attitude was something like 'What did I do in a previous life to deserve this'. Merriman told him he would report to Buffalo because he wants to play this year. Glazier then went on to say he thought he was outta here as soon as FA starts. Â Who can blame him?

Â He said all the right things and he really seems to want to do well for us...he has a good relationship with Buddy, so that will definitely help us out...he also seem to want to resurrect his career and he would probably appreciate us for giving him the chance to do it...

bills1960 Posted November 7, 2010 Author Share Posted November 7, 2010 If he gets four or more sacks this year (in the last eight games), you need to do anything to get him back for next year, or else this defense is just treading water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
