BillsNYC Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Was just watching NFL Network panel (and it was live), including Adam Shefter, and they said for Coles to turn down $6 million in guaranteed money from the Jets means he must have a deal in place already with another team. What amazes me is that Shefter says he's not visiting any teams today and hasn't been confirmed anywhere. Lombardi goes on to say that he would expect him to be in Miami right now but he hasn't confirmed it. What planet are these guys on? How could NFL Network, Shefter especially, not know Coles is in Buffalo right now? That's pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 No kidding, NYC. What, they don't read ESPN? http://myespn.go.com/blogs/afceast/0-5-133...y-visitors.html The funniest thing to me is that it was visually confirmed by Chris Brown per his blog on buffalobills.com. Buffalobills.com is of course the official web site of the Buffalo Bills and the parent web site would be NFL.com, which is the site that Adam Schefter blogs for.

If I had Schefter's e-mail, I'd send him the link to the bb.com story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they finally found out, with a staff report on Schefter's blog. (Thanks for pointing that out, Tim.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lets_go_bills Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Coles may be 31 but he plays like he's 27. He is still very much a competitive player and can be a difference maker in this league. And while WR isn't a big need for us, it couldn't hurt to add some veteran saavy to a lackluster receiving corps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's now on the crawl on the NFL Net with a "Breaking News: Adam Schefter reports ..." tag. Yeah. Nice scoop there, Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 The added bonus of adding coles: It will free up our TE in the middle of the field. They are going to have to account for both Evans and Coles on every down...throw in Reed, Johnson, or Parrish in a 3 WR set and they will gather a lot of attention... So, D. Fine might become a play maker or some other TE we get likely in the draft or maybe in FA. Defenses still have to account for Lynch/Jackson out of the back field too... Coles would be a really good signing IMO...Housh or Boldin would be best, but I will be happy with Coles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winslow is gone, and Greer most likely won't resign. regarding Coles, I'd like to have him as well. The only problem is that Coles turned down $6 Million this year to play for the Jets, he must feel that he can get more than that with someone else. I'm not really too keen on paying him that sort of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really too keen on paying him that sort of money. True, but another thought could be the instability of the QB position in NY might make Coles reluctant to sign with the Jets as well.

He may getmore stats than evans if he signs here. I'd love this pickup if we get it. Picture josh reed, but a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2020 Our Year For Sure Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 you may have to change your off season dream. Winslow is gone, and Greer most likely won't resign. regarding Coles, I'd like to have him as well. The only problem is that Coles turned down $6 Million this year to play for the Jets, he must feel that he can get more than that with someone else. I'm not really too keen on paying him that sort of money. If you're referencing the original poster in this thread, he didn't say Coles turned down $6M per year, but rather that Coles turned down $6M in total guarantees, which isn't all that much.
