Dr. Fong Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Injuries happen to everyone. The guy's a pro, I'm sure he'll be there for the Titans when it matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Pretty interesting that he wasn't able to participate fully in any of their workouts. I had no idea he had an injury, certainly not one severe enough to keep him from fully taking part in their workouts. Maybe so... the injury was reported last year during the season. he played on it, so im guessing its more precautionary measures for a proven vet than a devastating injury.

Kkspike Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Didn't Antoine Winfield tear his acl or something similiar in consecutive years after he left the Bills? Hmmm.. Nate Odems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLFan Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 It's interesting to me that they did try to re-sign Whitner and Poz but they didn't bother with Levitre.ree agency Maybe that has something to do with the new coaching staff? Or maybe it had to do with him really not wanting to be here and being intent on free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsWatch Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 He made a comment on radio once about new scheme and new coaches here. That may have been factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewgetz Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Another possibility is that the Bills thought that they were closer to being a winner in 2011 than they believe they are now. could be the other way around too.

BillnutinHouston Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 And what would we all be saying if the Bills paid Levitre $9M and found this out? Incompetent front office that doesn't do it's due diligence? PTR Now that was a predictable post. But your point is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I personally think the bills knew nothing about Levitre being hurt......and probably wasn't at the time they made their decision...... Guys like Byrd, Wood, and Spiller are going to need to get paid....Levitre was given a mint....they let him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 So, now we need to find out if there was a clause for workout bonus'? If there was nothing for workouts or OTA's then I sort of think this might just be Levitre settling in to new money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchmurraydowntown Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Byrd would of left for big money if we didn't have a tag, just to be clear here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryPinC Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 The Bills never really seemed that interested in signing Levitre. After watching them pay good money to the likes of Chris Kelsay partially because of his locker room presence, I was suspicious about the way they treated Levitre. I'm in the camp of people who think they had real concerns about the long term durability of his knee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 With one of his knees . Been sitting out of some OTAs . Sore and swelling.as reported by NFL network. Man that seems like the Bills luck , spend all that money for a player then he gets hurt & has to sit out for a considerable period of time while taking wheel barrel loads of money to the bank , that sucks !! Better the Titans than the Bills !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealityCheck Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) The Bills I am sure keep records on the in season maintenance required for all their players between shots and "treatments" to their various body parts. Levitre was an undersized technician that was below average in the brawn department. I saw him get man handled enough to not feel heart broken about his departure for the money he got. I really am happy for him as a player to get that big payday. I also can't knock the Bills for not over pursuing him either. Hypothetically speaking of course, if there is a certain % difference in offer/ counter offer, there really is no point in going any further with the conversation. The Titans will be very interesting to watch in the run game. Chris Johnson will probably have a big year if that O-line stays healthy. Chance Warmack will be good one to watch.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 could be the other way around too. Another possibility is that the Bills thought that they are closer to being a winner now than they believe they were in 2011. Just saying... I don't understand how this makes sense. The Bills matching the Jax's offer to Poz but not offering a contract to Levitre can be interpreted as them thinking that they're closer to being a winner now than they were then?

Cinga Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Byrd would of left for big money if we didn't have a tag, just to be clear here. You don't know that.... Other teams had a right to offer Byrd, at the cost of 2 firsts if he signed. But a team can also try to work a trade for less with the tagging team. We have no idea if anyone approached the Bills about this possibility, but if the rest of the league thinks as much of Byrd as he seems to think of himself, I think something would have leaked out...
