HelloNewman Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Maybe Nate Clements is pricing himself out of Buffalo because he knows there is no way TD and his wisdom will pay up so he can get out of this loser of a team...then he goes out and signs for a winner for less money. Antoine Winfield never even talked about resigning here because he wanted out of this organization Think about it.....don't be surprised if McGahee wants out and some other up and coming free agents price themselves out of of Buffalo in order to get out of here because they know ol' cheapo TD will balk at it which is what they want anyway? I know it sounds wierd but think about it......when was the last time TD threw some serious money at any of his own draft picks when they become FA?

ganesh Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I know it sounds wierd but think about it......when was the last time TD threw some serious money at any of his own draft picks when they become FA? 514607[/snapback] He did re-sign Schoebel to a pretty good contract extension for a average DE He just re-signed McGee to a pretty good extension. He got Takeo to come here with a 10M signing bonus. He also gave out big money to get Bledsoe, Milloy and Vincent to come here. Looking at the list of FAs we have had, which ones did you think we needed to re-sign to a big contract ? 1. Peerless Price (got a 10M signing bonus) 2. Winfield (at that point got the biggest CB contract of the year after champ bailey)( 3. Pat Williams (a guy at 31 years with 10 years in the league got a 5m bonus to sign) 4. Jonas Jennings, a guy who was always injured got 14M bonus to sign and was on IR after game 4... Teams have to be wise with their cap money and distribute it to sign Draft Picks Extending current players Signing FAs TD has done his fair share of all the above....Your point about Clements walking out on the Bills on that issue is not valid.

If you're going to be known for something, it ought to be for being the best at it...like Vermont maple syrup, or Detroit murders. All Wisc-y has is a second rate cheese and Miller beer. They should have at least kept the Pabst brewery going. Then they'd have something there. Pretty freaking sad if you ask me, which no one has, but that's their loss because I'm an idea man.

And another thing about cheese... 514656[/snapback] Packer players are treated as absolute royalty in Green Bay. There are some really nice neighborhoods they live in. And the fans come and come and come and come, no matter what. They love their Packers, doors fallen off or not. Games are NEVER in doubt of selling out. Merchandise sells from January to December. The community overwhelmingly voted to pay for stadium upgrades. The cheese is average.... The only thing they question is "Why did we let Holmgren leave????"

Perhaps they should stop losing then. There is not one player on this team that can look in the mirror and say they aren't part of the problem this year.

stevewin Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Cheese aside , I am starting to wonder about the impact disgruntled (former and current) Bills players will have on luring free agents. I think this is adding to the perspective of other people in the league that some of the shine has come off of Buffalo as an organization (regardless of W-L record). You know there are friendships between players on teams all over the league - and you know there are players who are currently blasting (rightly or wrongly) the coaching and the org to their friends and peers.
