C.Biscuit97 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 He's a complete idiot and I won't want him anywhere near this team. DWI and multiple assaults. That said, I guess we don't character anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I guess we don't character anymore. Who cares about character? I want my doctors and police officers to have character, I want Super Bowls from my football team. Not that Fred Davis can get us over that hump by any means. The Cowboys, Ravens, Patriots and Steelers all have players that have lacked character but they have rings. I want the Bills to get rings not brownie points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I guess we don't character anymore. 1990's Cowboys were full of idiots. Won a few SB's as I recall. Perhaps he's changed. I'm all for taking the risk. Sign him to a low risk/high reward contract. Who cares about character? I want my doctors and police officers to have character, I want Super Bowls from my football team.

(that's really the BS most Steeler fans here believe. It's hilarious the hypocrisy of that team's PR machine). oh - forget it then. Surprised he was reinstated if he was convicted of assault. domestic assault, or like bar fights? Edited May 7, 2015 by RyanC883 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want the Bills to get rings not brownie points. I guess I'm in the minority but I don't want to root for scumbags. The majority of football players are good guys. Fred Jackon and Kyle Williams. I hate that we signed Incognito, Harvin, and may have drafted a woman beater. I'll give them a chance as a Bills fan but it feels slimy. You can win without scumbags. i don't know I assumed cb meant domestic but didn't look it up yet 2 different accusations of assaulting women. Either he is completely unlucky or a total scumbag. Either way, he's not that great to begin with. I doubt he wil lever play in the league again unless the Cowboys or Bengals sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffalothruMyVeins Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 @AdamSchefter: Former Redskins franchise TE Fred Davis and New England Patriots have reached agreement on a one-year deal, per source. Couldn't feel more fitting. So, they signed Chandler and now Davis to add with Gronk and Hoho...ah...manna.manooie...? Decent stable of TEs, I wonder if someone might kick available as a roster cut-down guy? Didnt like to see Chandler go, couldn't see him coming back if he waa cut, but I would like it.

C.Biscuit97 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 The Patriot Way His rap sheet isn't much different than another TE they had a few years ago. They love scumbags in NE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 The Patriot Way His rap sheet isn't much different than another TE they had a few years ago. They love scumbags in NE. Part of the Patriots job interview: "Are you comfortable working "outside the lines" when it comes to NFL rules, policies and procedures?" Also, as I recall, didn't the Bills bring Davis in for a FA looksee a few years ago, and then he ended up using the Bills offer to leverage more from the Redskins?

You are correct on Davis visiting the Bills and then shortly resigning with the Redskins. We were used as leverage for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one of the those decisions that you lose out on but works in the long run. Similar to Tyson Clabo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Tore his achilles in 2012 and sat out 2014. Glad the Bills passed on him both times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
