ROCCEO Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Bills | Team shows interest in Curtis Sun, 11 Mar 2007 09:33:46 -0800 Jim Thomas, of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, reports the Buffalo Bills have expressed interest in unrestricted free-agent Kevin Curtis (Rams), but Curtis would prefer not to any make more trips at this point. He has told his new agents, Bruce and Ryan Tollner, that his main objectives are playing for a playoff contender, preferably in a warm-weather city, and to be a starter. I love Curtis, hes a very good reciever with more skills than he gets credit for, if we signed him though hed have to race Moorman for the title of 'fastest white guy on the team. Also, we already have enough small fast recievers, Im of the opinion that we need a west coast style possesion reciever, even though the fairchild offense never had one in Stl, maybe I just play too much madden.....

Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 No one on this team is faster than Moorman. I like that. Curtis can be a great addition to the team. But remember, he's played slot WR most of his career with the Rams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 He wants to: (1) be on a playoff team; (2) in a warm weather city; and (3) be a starter. Odds are that if he comes here, he'll get none of those things. I think it's safe to say that Kevin Curtis won't be playing for the Bills next year.

JimBob2232 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Yeah, I think moorman is faster than roscoe and lee! I wouldnt mind him coming here..but I dont see the big need, AND 1) he doesnt seem anxious to make any more trips. 2) He wants to go to a playoff contender...and as much as we like to think we are, thats gotta be a tough sell, and 3) he wants a warm weather team. So...this isnt sounding like a good fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 preferably in a warm-weather city, and to be a starter. I don't think Buffalo is that warm of a city except in September. He would have a chance to start though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 He wants to: (1) be on a playoff team; (2) in a warm weather city; and (3) be a starter. He actually SAID this? With his numbers, he should be glad to latch-on with anyone. He's no better than Stallworth...without the drug and injury problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribo Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 I believe he played under Fairchild, so that is one plus for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003Contenders Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 No thanks. We have enough #3 WRs... We need a bona fide #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJPearl2 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 No thanks. We have enough #3 WRs... We need a bona fide #2. Exactly. And we also have enough sub-6' Wrs too. We need a bigger WR, if any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndirish1978 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 How is this an option? He just listed everything he wants in a team and we are NONE OF THE ABOVE. That's like me saying I want to marry Tom Brady's ex and having people report on it. She just isn't interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Indablanc Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Exactly. And we also have enough sub-6' Wrs too. We need a bigger WR, if any. True that. Good point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROCCEO Posted March 11, 2007 Author Share Posted March 11, 2007 No thanks. We have enough #3 WRs... We need a bona fide #2. Well, when Bruce went down with his 'great toe' injury a few years ago Curtis filled in admirably, I believe even scoring the game winning touchdown in one game. And as far as desire to play in a warm weather climate, I think that a few million dollars will make even the chilliest city feel warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like this part if it's true. It says "I'm lazy---find me a gig." I guess he fired his first agent because he left Detroit without getting him signed there.

marauderswr80 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 playoff contender, warm weather and a starter.............Buffalo is officially out of the loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Exactly. And we also have enough sub-6' Wrs too. We need a bigger WR, if any. Only difference being, Curtis would be the best #3 on the team, if the Bills signed him. I would love to see this guy in a Bills uniform. I realize it is likely not to happen, but it warms the cockles of my heart, knowing the Bills think as highly of him as I do! Losman, with Curtis and Evans to throw to, would be unstoppable...I think Curtis has the fastest playing speed of any receiver I have seen in the last 10 years, and he has good hands...JP overthrowing wouldn't be an issue...Curtis can get anywhere at break neck speed.

Odds are that if he comes here, he'll get none of those things. I think it's safe to say that Kevin Curtis won't be playing for the Bills next year. You forgot one other thing he wants. 4. Money. And that trumps 1, 2 and 3. If they offer him what he wants, the other things won't matter. I think if this were to heat up Fairchild could sell him on the fact that: A. the Bills are a playoff contending team. B. he could easily compete for a starting position. C. it is warm in September.

OnTheRocks Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 No thanks. We have enough #3 WRs... We need a bona fide #2. IMHO he would be a bona fide #2 WR on this team. And he would put up very good numbers. He has great speed, and has great hands. He is only #3 in St. Louis because he plays behind Holt and Bruce.

Squeally Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I wouldn't necessarily hat the signing, but I think the money can be better spent somewhere else. The recieving corps is not the most glaring need at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squeally Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Salary cap issues are not the most glaring problems at the moment either! I agree, but I think the money can be spent better than on a career slot receiver. These guys don't necessarily make the jump to #1 or 2 successfully either. It doesn't seem worth the gamble, to me. I'd rather gamble somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
