Taro T Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 The problem with the Bills? We don't sign our players. We don't pay the star players the money they "deserve"* (*by deserve, i am referring to how these players perform compared to their NFL counterparts). Why would someone ever come to the Bills, or ever STAY with the Bills when we don't keep our playmakers? We have this reputation of "come here, we'll win one", but we NEVER pay our players what they are worth... You want examples? Jonas Jennnings Pat Williams Antowain Winfield Ruben Brown Sam Gash Henry Jones Antowain Winfield Sam Cowart And the list goes on... "Why come to Buffalo"? So you can have a breakout year and we'll trade you to a team that's willing to pay for you... 427930[/snapback] You forgot Peerless and hopefully soon you'll have forgotten Lindell. Dave.

TD is not always perfect - but every time he has let a player walk it was the right move - let someone else overpay for Winfields 5 picks in 4 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowart was a dominate player before the injury, almost on the level of Ray Lewis. Calling him a "loser" because he got injured (on a cheap shot none-the-less) is pretty pathetic.

kgun Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Wow, that post was made at 2:30 this morning. I was bombed, and I'm shocked that there weren't many typos. Anyway, I'm sticking to my story... 428317[/snapback] Add Nate to the list. Even if we tag him he will be playing somewhere else in '06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpperDeck Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Although I'd have liked to keep some, everyone on your list was overpaid by another team. I don't mind TD being shrewd(frugal) so that we don't get into salary cap trouble. Nate is the next one up and again I'd like to keep him but not for an $18 million signing bonus. Maybe that would fly on a 7 year contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was going to be out a few games so he PUP'ed him trying to get him back cheap. Christie is still kicking and doing better than current kicker.
