I was wondering why I don't tune into the NFL Network like I used to and this morning proved to me why... The table on Good Morning Football talked about OBJ for 2 hours all the way until I had to come to work...

No one wants to commit money to him during the tampering period if they can get "healthy" guys to commit to signing with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure speculation though... It's the same rationale behind the supposed Bills interest, in that both GMs are ex Carolina, and both teams have perceived needs there. Familiarity can play an important part in FA signings - from both sides. It's hardly a stretch to think either team is going to make a play for his services. I think there have been earlier reports that both teams are interested, and I don't believe they were simply 'joining the dots' reports, but as others have pointed out, there's going to be a definite need to get the injury checked out before committing big bucks, and he's likely to be getting a decent chunk of change thrown at him if the injury checks out.

Logic Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I echo the sentiment that Williams' injury may have been more serious than many are giving credit for. I expect him to either re-sign with the Panthers on a 1-year prove-it deal or to sign with the Giants on a 1-year prove-it deal. Either way, I expect that the Bills will not be the team to sign him.

BuffAlone Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Depends on his medical. I gotta think he will have some visits/ talks with suitors but nothing will be done without getting a clear medical beforehand. If he clears, he will get plenty of options and money. It'll be coming soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiddenInLight Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) Sal Capaccio ?Verified account @SalSports FollowingFollowing @SalSports More Feeling from some around the league I spoke with is there is still some concern about RT Daryl Williams' knee, which is why we haven't seen any movement on him. Looks like teams may want to get him into their facility and see him before going down that road. 2:25 PM - 13 Mar 2019 Edited March 13, 2019 by HiddenInLight 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL Network was talking about the Bills moves all day long, with Mike Garafalo saying that the Bills really impressed him with how aggressive we were, all the way up to the big OBJ trade. All other NFL talk pretty much stopped once that deal was made, because it was a BIG deal. Idk why we gotta view it as a slight to our team just because at the end of the day there was a huge trade that dominated league wide coverage involving one of the biggest names in the NFL. I know we care about all things Bills, but when a big trade comes thru with a player of OBJ's caliber, it kinda makes sense for the channel to focus in on its ramifications lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is something I don't recall much from previous regimes. Wonder if Daryl Williams price drops off a bit if there are concerns with his knee still. Maybe takes a one-year prove it deal to see if he can stay healthy all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnbillsbacker Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 When you are concerned about someone's health you do not sign them during legal tampering. You bring them in so your doctors can assess things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreggTX Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 My guess is that he's holding out for big money and Beane won't chase him and vastly overpay him. He also had a serious knee injury recently. That's why we signed Nsekhe. Just a guess. Still, you'd think he'd have stopped by for a visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
