Coach Tuesday Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 (this was me again posting as my Lions fan friend) http://proxy.espn.go.com/chat/chatESPN?event_id=7034#bottom Brian Grabowski (East Lansing, MI): Mort, PLEASE elaborate on the Drew Bledsoe rumors you announced on Sunday...! Chris Mortensen: (3:33 PM ET ) I reported facts! That being that the Bills are asking him to take another pay cut from $4.3 million he would make this year. If he doesn't take it, there is a real chance he could be released and the Bills would move on with Losman and whoever else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scribo Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 FACTS!!!! OK. We believe you. I'd like to know his definition of "a real chance." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Did I miss something???? What else could he elborate on?? It is a pretty cut and dry statement. 211551[/snapback] Exactly. It is a FACT that if Drew wants to stay in town, he needs a PAYCUT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Steven (Los Angeles): Every year Don Shula and his '72 Dolphin friends all pop some bubbly when the last undefeated team loses, if the Eagles loase next week, will Marv Levy and the 90's Bills pop some of their own since they will no longer be known as the most futile post-season football team? Chris Mortensen: (3:06 PM ET ) It's hard for me to draw that parallel because the Bills went to the Super Bowl. I understand where you are going .. but it's a reach. ======================================= Scott (Upstate NY): If Bledsoe was released by Buffalo, would Parcells pick him up to upgrade from senior citizen to close to early bird special? Chris Mortensen: (3:37 PM ET ) I have a feeling Parcells would probably not pick him up. I think Bill wants some mobility given today's NFL. I'm not sure Drew has any mobility. Even Vinny had a little bit of that. I guess we can't rule out the possibility though. ========================================= David (Boston): that's too bad about Bledsoe. Classy game in many respects, and was my favorite player before he got traded. Is he done if he gets released? Chris Mortensen: (3:47 PM ET ) I think Drew really feels like he has football left in him. I believe if he is forced out of Buffalo he will be bitter about it. He did win 9 games this year. He truly believes he can play .. I think he would get an opportunity if it doesn't work out in Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 To say that Drew "won 9 games" this year is the equivalent of a major league pitcher winning nine games in spite of giving up a half dozen earned runs every outing, but where the team produced ten each time.

d_wag Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Did I miss something???? What else could he elborate on?? It is a pretty cut and dry statement. 211551[/snapback] how much are the bills asking him to reduce his salary by? 1 million? 2 million? 50 cents? that would be a start........
