Coach Tuesday Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Usually the Bills-related "scoops" on ESPN are legit, because TD has a relationship with those guys from his days as an analyst. Wouldn't be the first time he used ESPN to get his message "public." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 No, that's certainly a possibility. However, given the circumstances, I suspect its probably pretty close to the truth. I do have serious doubts that the Bills would be discussing any potential terms to a Travis Henry trade, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to sources though, I have a little more faith in Mort then a posters wife's brothers best friend who is a secretary at OBD. And of course they will deny it, standard practice. It's a wait and see for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is likely a trial balloon to notify the Bledsoe camp publicly that the team is serious. It's also a hint to the league that Bledsoe may be on the trading block, and could be had for a reasonable draft pick. For the Bills, the cap hit is the same in a trade as in a cut. Is unlikely that Mort made this story up. The Damien Woody story had a basis of truth in it, as Bills were interested in Woody and needed a G, they just got much better value for a RG in Villareal.

I usually hit Steve's site for historical facts on free agency - Bills Deny Woody Deal: The Bills have responded to a SI.com article about Damien Woody. The article said the Bills were close to a deal with the free agent center and guard. The Bills say they have had no contact with Woody or his agent. Bills, Woody Close? Don Banks is reporting for CNNSI that the Bills and Damien Woody are close to an agreement on a contract. He is a highly regarded free agent that can play guard or center. We reported earlier, that the Bills and Dolphins are both battling for him, and he is scheduled to visit Miami tomorrow at this point. We will keep you updated on this developing story and any other free agent news involving the Bills. Full recap of lastMarch 04 activity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD in one fail swoop both tells Drew he means business, and lets all the other teams no that Drew is now a question mark in Buff! I can PROMISE that TD didnt end the discussion with Mort before the report and say "oops". This was a PLANNED information release! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
