BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 and god knows they are never wrong in their talent evaluations of guards...... ex. see pete kendall and his pro-bowl caliber season with the jets.. 260221[/snapback] Man, you just hate everything dont you? You really need to calm down man, you are going to blow a nerve. And as for Pete Kendall, he said that the Jets were his #1 choice last year, and at the time we had roughly 1 million dollars under the cap, while the Jets were 4 million under the cap. Kinda hard to make a play on a FA when you have no money. There is that pesky salary cap thing we have to worry about, especially this offseason when we only have 5 million bucks to use on FAs. The problem I see is too many people focus in on one or two FAs and then blow their top when that player goes elsewhere. Its a day into free agency...if TD finishes today with a trade for Shelton and signing Dan Neil, you'll be joygasmic over what he did. Its a waiting game right now. So have an early morning beer and calm down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn that TD and teflon behavior...hiding behind the salary cap! Oh sure TD, thats a likely excuse that we dont have any money! Just because we only have a million dollars doesnt mean we cant sign a guy long-term! Players act like they do in Madden, just backload that sucker and we'll be fine. Pay him in fish sticks, that'll work...you just arent being creative...you suck Donahoe! My point is that players are not mindless blobs...they have preferences where they would like to go, and this may shock you, but some of them dont want to come to Buffalo. So blaming the GM is insane because if you were a fan of any one of the other 31 teams, you'd still have the same problems of FAs excluding your squad for another. Its not a case of "ball-washing" TD, its a case of understanding how the economics of the NFL works. If we were 20 million dollars under the cap, we could throw money at players and land them with ease. In fact, we did that when we got Takeo and Adams because we had so much cash to use. We dont have a lot of cash to use this year, so you'll have to be realistic about the free agent goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuckincincy Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 My guess is that he must be very tight with Crennel from their time together in NE and it was a done deal prior to F/A. 260180[/snapback] Could be a good guess. In Cincy, Lewis has a fistful of players who he worked with in his stints in Was, Ten, and Bal, on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
