Steely Dan Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Hargrove will probably survive camp. I'm not so sure about Anderson. Anyhoo better than not singing them. Bills retain DT Anderson, DE Hargrove NFL.com wire reports ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (April 17, 2007) --The Buffalo Bills have retained restricted free agent defensive linemen Tim Anderson and Anthony Hargrove. Both players accepted Buffalo's tender offers for the upcoming season. Anderson, the Bills' third-round pick in the 2004 draft, has been a part-time starter at defensive tackle over the past two seasons. He finished with 38 tackles in 15 games last year, but was surpassed on the team's depth chart by the emergence of rookie Kyle Williams. Hargrove, acquired in a trade with St. Louis in October, is a three-year NFL veteran who finished with 25 tackles and a sack in 10 games with Buffalo. The defensive end's best game came when he had six tackles in Buffalo's season-finale against Baltimore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 They didn't "re-sign". They accepted their RFA tender Which means they were offered a 1 year contract by the Bills. If another team signed them, the Bills would have the right to match the offer or receive a draft pick determined by the tender amount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If another team signed them, the Bills would have the right to match the offer or receive a draft pick determined by the tender amount I don't think that's right. The Bills had placed the tender on them, which meant that if any team had signed them they would have had to offer compensation. By accepting the tender, these guys are officially under contract for another year now. Other teams can no longer sign them. I may be reading that wrong, but it wouldn't make sense to update the fact that tenders were placed on them. That's old news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If another team signed them, the Bills would have the right to match the offer or receive a draft pick determined by the tender amount Wrong. They were not under a signed contract to play for the Bills. The Bills had an exclusive RIGHT to tender an offer with a right of first refusal on to match all other offers. A tender is not a contract. These players were not under contract until today, when they SIGNED their tendered offers and became Bills again. Hence, they were re-signed.

BuffaloBilliever Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Sabres rock. Sorry, had to get my mind off of that undersized piece of $#!t Anderson. Glad to have Hargrove back (obviously) but can't believe Anderson is back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStranger76 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Both would be the odd man out if we spend a draft pick on one of their positions, but at least we have a full depth chart at DT and DE now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndirish1978 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Anderson was the result of a mistaken decision the Bills front office made to have a D comprised entirely of OSU players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
