VOR Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Should the Bills pursue him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ans4e64 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Wow. I didn't even know that was possible. They should have just tried to trade him. Dumb, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VOR Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 Probably tried to trade him and found no takers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostsOfTheRockpile Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 He was recently arrested for being passed out in his car, high, with a bag o' weed. There's no way the Bills go after a guy with such "character issues." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agilen Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 He was recently arrested for being passed out in his car, high, with a bag o' weed. He'll fit right in in the Ralph parking lot every Sunday evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I just read that, in light of the Aaron Curry selection, the Seahawks removed the franchise tag from Hill, rendering him an unrestricted free agent. Who votes that Buffalo goes after him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who votes that Buffalo goes after him? How much will he cost? If it's the right price I'm all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Can they do that? That's the first I've ever heard of a team doing something of that nature. Interesting though. I'd take him over Ellison, Thomas, and Bowen any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who votes that Buffalo goes after him? Stats here I dunno, this guy can't seem to play a full 16 game season... But he did have a lot of tackes. Edit: Hmmm. Arrested for dope?

thebandit27 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 How much will he cost? If it's the right price I'm all for it. Hmmmm, 26-year-old pro bowl LB? Probably in the neighborhood of $5-$6M per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 He also had some recent trouble with the law if I'm not mistaken didn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Mud Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 He also had some recent trouble with the law if I'm not mistaken didn't he? wait which Bill are we talking about?....Leroy Hill.....possibly, Im sure there will be other teams interested, so if he is affordable, why not?

Tsaikotic Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 wow..I think I'd have to sue them or something for doing that..I mean common...you don't let me try to sign with anybody by tagging me and guaranteeing me top $ then after all the teams have signed who they want, or at least the big $ guys are gone , you dump my tag and I'm standing here with my pecker in my hand now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stussy109 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I;m assuming he never signed his offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habes1280 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Hmmmm, 26-year-old pro bowl LB? Probably in the neighborhood of $5-$6M per year. He turned down a 6 year, $36 million offer to stay in Seattle (and the rumor is that negotations still aren't entirely dead), so I'm guessing that he might be well out of the Bills' range. Then again, the climate for free agent negotiations might change this late in free agency, with teams focused on the drafting and signing of their draft classes, and a smaller dowry of disposable cap-cash to draw from; perhaps the Bills could make a competitive bid. All the same, on paper, it looks like a suitable answer to a sizeable question-mark in our front seven, one that's unlikely to be sufficiently addressed this late in the draft (at least with a non-developmental prospect). The front office seems to have their collective dander up over draft weekend, so perhaps they make a non-standard move and throw out an offer. Inking a deal like this would certainly free them up considerably on Day Two, and rapidly accelerate their make-over of last year's defense. EDIT: This all changes, of course, if he is facing a suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take him over Ellison, Thomas, and Bowen any day. The Eagles did it with Trotter a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 He was recently arrested for being passed out in his car, high, with a bag o' weed. There's no way the Bills go after a guy with such "character issues." The guy can't seem to stay healthy he's probably looking at a suspension and one more mistake may be a full year suspension. I'm wondering if these factors led to them removing the franchise tag on him. Anyhoo, for what he wants, and since he's treading on thin ice with the league, I hope Buffalo passes.
