Fezmid Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 No he was transitioned • A transition player designation gives the club a first-refusal right to match within seven days an offer sheet given to the player by another club after his contract expires. If the club matches, it retains the player. If it does not match, it receives no compensation. Transition players can be signed from March 3 through July 22." In some leagues, distinction is made between an unrestricted free agent and a restricted free agent. A restricted free agent is a player who can sign with another team, but with one or more restrictions. For example, the player's current team may have the right to match the terms and conditions of the contract offered by another team, or the current team may be entitled to compensation in the form of money or draft picks from the player's new team 639458[/snapback] Yeah, it's pretty much the same thing. Based on what people here are saying, we shouldn't have offered TKO a contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turftoe Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Here's a concept....Sign a guy who is a UFA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 639406[/snapback] Or look for a team that is tight against the cap. Both of these teams had more cap room than Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I'll say it one...more...time. They should take a look at CIN's RFA T/G Scott Kooistra. RFA tendered at 717K with a 7th round penalty. 639454[/snapback] I may be wrong, but I thouhgt I had heard he had signed with the Cowboys...

stuckincincy Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I may be wrong, but I thouhgt I had heard he had signed with the Cowboys... 639509[/snapback] I don't think so - it would be a notable news story here. Still, a good look for the Bills - I have no idea why, but the CIN organization is a good judge of OL talent. And I don't think he would demand a lot - his Dad is rich - really big-time rich...his NFL salary is chump change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple years back, the bills tried to get him. He is a Rochester native and wanted to come here but I believe Cincy wouldn't let him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillnutinHouston Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Can't this at least indicate Marv can spot talent? If both clubs wnated to keep the guys we signed, and obviously they know their players better than anyone, that should say something about Marvs eye for talent, no? 639481[/snapback] Wow, to some Marv can do no wrong. The guy is blowing it by wasting his time with RFA's and we (not me but many of us) give him credit for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv has an eye for talent and character. Give him adequate time to turn this roster over and good times will be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not wasting time. With the exception of Pickett, the players he is not signing are the one we are not targeting. That is the way it is. It will take time. We are too far away for the quick fix. Funny that those great players that we let go like Denny, Adams, and Edwards are all still avaialble? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 this makes me wonder - when's the last time anyone went for a bills rfa? i suppose mcgee would have been targeted, but the team had the good sense to resign him early. outside of him, are all of our later round picks that bad or ho hum?

Maybe he is not as promising as we thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please give more of an explantion than wasting time. Has there been any OL or DL guys since these guys signed their offer sheet you would have grabbed?

apuszczalowski Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Marv doesn't call them he is too old to be a GM and doesn't know what he's doing, He makes them an offer and the other team matches then he's wasting time talking to them, and if he signs them they are other teams rejects that are worthless No matter how you look at it, Marv is never going to do anything right unless he signs bentley or Hutch cause they are the only players that can come in and be the franchise saviours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are looked at by other players and more importantly by agents - as a good place to visit. It gets you in the game. You might not win the game, but you can't win it, if you ain't in it. What someone else calls "time wasting" (hah!) is what we might call, "doing the job". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
