buffalo1983 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Despite a report to the contrary, a source with knowledge of the situation said free agent CB Jabari Greer (Buffalo Bills) is not close to signing with the Detroit Lions. The source said Greer was in Detroit on Saturday and received an offer, but hasn't agreed to a deal. Over the weekend Buffalo made yet another attempt to re-sign the fifth-year defensive back, but Greer continues to receive interest from other teams and may visit some of them in the coming days. However, Buffalo is still very much in the picture. — Adam Caplan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperKillerRobots Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 That's great news. He'd be a good re-signing for us - especially at $5mm or under per. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo1983 Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 Ya.. I would like to keep him here but we all know how this game goes.. Its all about the money. Good to see the Bills have shown a lot of interest and have made another offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nucci Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 good that we still have a shot to re-up him. We already had that chance. He won't re-sign here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fingon Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 We already had that chance. He won't re-sign here. I haven't heard that. All i've heard is that he is trying to maximize his free market value, whether its with us or another team... i don't think it matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tcali Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 That's great news. He'd be a good re-signing for us - especially at $5mm or under per. true...I think the thing that may be giving some teams pause in signing him is his lack of actual playing time/experience plus last yrs injury. He may have needed another yr under his belt for the big money. His talent is unquestioned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo1983 Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 We already had that chance. He won't re-sign here. Greer wants to see what he can get out there and i don't blame him. Everyone else is doing the same thing and until the offers stop,he will stay out there looking and waiting for his best option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 That's great news. He'd be a good re-signing for us - especially at $5mm or under per. I might even go $6 mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Ugh...I'm so torn on Greer. On one hand, he's a very solid and consistent CB who seems like he could hold down our CB position for the next 5 years. Add to that he seems like a great guy and complete team player... ...but...we already have McGee and McKelvin had a pretty good rookie season. Not to mention how lights out Youboty was playing before he got hurt, and Corner flashed some talent as well. I dont know...I hate saying it, but I'd rather let him walk and put the money towards getting a OLB or FS in here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greer would represent the franchise loking ahead. plus if we resign Greer, McGee is trade bait. Better to get something for him now then lose him next year for nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bflobarry Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I love Greer, and I hope we keep him. Injuries will happen, and McGee is up after this year. Re: Youboty and Corner- I like 'em both too, but Youboty has looked good for 1/2 of his 3 years here, and that was as a nickle. And Corner looks nice so far, but Greer is a proven commodity: solid cover man, great speed, good tackler, selfless, good "team" guy. NE will probably grab him, as it not only makes them better, but a Div opponent weaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lets_go_bills Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 He's really holding out for a big contract. Wow. I'm glad no one's given him the $8M per he's looking for. So far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson from Gamehendge Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 why do we want him back again? so he can take money from us and keep mckelvin on the bench? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 why do we want him back again? so he can take money from us and keep mckelvin on the bench? But mcKelvin will need time to rest on the bench after being the Kick and Punt return guy when roscoe gets traded because Jenkins is more valuable as a ST's Gunner if the Bills get Coles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extrahammer Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 If Buffalo signed Greer, which appears unlikely, I could see a trade of McGee and maybe a draft pick for Tony Gonzalez. BOOM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 McGee is goner in 2010. For some odd reason, people just don't want to acknowledge that there is a very good chance of this happening which will lead to another CB being drafted in the 1st round next year.

Steely Dan Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Hate to see the Pats looming out there though... So do I. I really like Greer and would hate to root against him every time the Bills face the Pets*. It will be interesting to see if Buffalo can get this done. If we sign Greer this year we are not held hostage by McGee next year. I'd love to see the Bills have McGee, McKelvin and Greer for a few years. That would give them one of the best three CB corps in the league. Of course, another option, is to extend McGee, now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
