scribo Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Too bad for London. That is just about the last team I would want to end up on, and that is not that great of money. Oh, and the way Snyder works, he will be asking F-B to take a pay cut by mid-season to make room for signing more big name old guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddintane Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Here we go. The Bills may need to trade down and settle for playing a rookie like Willis as our starter at MLB. Let's hope his learning curve is short and not too painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlegm Alley Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 10.5 guarenteed and 12.5 to be paid out in the first 2 years of the contract. Good for London. I'm sure ole Greggo had something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope his learning curve is short and not too painful. Ellison's wasn't that bad...and he was a 2nd day pick. I'm sure Willis would be fine considering our rookies performed admirably last year. Whose to say WIllis wouldn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drnykterstein Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 This sucks. Why could we not offer him that much. Its not a ton of money and we have the room. ... good thing I am in the mood to trust Marv, otherwise I might freak out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribo Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I have to Billieve the Bills have a solid plan to let London escape that cheaply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadBuffaloDisease Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Replace him with someone younger, better, and cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdelma Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 He can tackle ten yards downfield with spikes. Time to move on to younger players. He's at the end of career why pay 25 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 What's the big fuggin' deal? This guy couldn't even make the Pro Bowl! (that was for you, Fezmid) Washington -- where former studs are put out to pasture. Thanks for your time here, Fletch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I have to Billieve the Bills have a solid plan to let London escape that cheaply. I don't think the problem was the money, but the contract length. Despite my display name, I'm thinking its a bad idea for a Tampa 2 team (with its stress on speed) to be giving a 5-year deal to a 32 year old middle linebacker. I think he'd be a Bill if he wanted to sign a 3 year, $15 million deal. Time to say so long to London as I wonder who on this defense will replace his leadership. Looks like our MLB next year is either Patrick Willis or Angelo Crowell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, the Deadskins sign plenty of long contracts but always rip them up long before they are played out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 What's the big fuggin' deal? This guy couldn't even make the Pro Bowl! (that was for you, Fezmid) Huh? I liked Fletcher and didn't want him to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerme1 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Now that he is reunited with Greggo you will see him be a stupid player again. He will be kicking balls off the field and taking bad penalties and not being a godd leader, which I think he was last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyemike Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 This is the one I am sorry to see go. I have London's jersey. I always thought he was a solid player...a Cleveland guy, went to John Carroll, has a Super Bowl ring from the Rams...and now he's a Deadskin. But, I have to believe that there is a plan here. Since Fletcher is going to be 32 this year, this was probably his last shot at a big contract...so he went for the most money. Too bad. I would have liked for him to come back home to Cleveland, but the Brownies never even made a play for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeBillsDrive Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Huh? I liked Fletcher and didn't want him to go. The guy had strong, innate on-field leaderships qualities and was an emotional leader in the locker room and on the field. I wish Fletch nothing but the best in DC.

Marv's Neighbor Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Living in VA., I happened to listen to the John Riggins radio show last week and they were very unhappy that Greggo was going after London! The big knock was that he's (London) now 3 years older than Gregg remembers and at 32 there's not much upside left. For what it's worth nobody on the show was very impressed with Gregg or his actual "genius" performance. Sounded real familiar to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heard of Buffalo Bills Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Washington Redskins-end of the road for old football players. Kind of reminds me of George Allens "Over the Hill" gang. Seriously though I wish London the best but not against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
