PromoTheRobot Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I can understand the first pick, but what about the other 4 unsigned picks. is everyone in the NFL signing their draft picks late 70% of all picks are unsigned as of now. So what makes us so special? PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY Nole Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Each draft pick gets a little less than the player picked before them -- so it goes to reason that until the guy in front of them signs, they will be reluctant to strike a deal over fear of getting screwed out of some money. Unless the Bills offer substantial money over the general range that a draft pick and his agent think they are worth -- there's not going to be any real urgency. The other fact is this is the earliest the Bills have opened camp (while most other teams don't report for another week). Until other teams get serious about signing their picks (usually in the days right before they open camp) the Bills will probably not have any top picks signed.

BillsGuyInMalta Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 The Bills usually have a straggler or two for the first few days of training camp. As NY Nole mentioned earlier, starting camp a week earlier doesn't help matters much either. Rarely is there a prolonged holdout however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_believer Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Great Blue North says that there are lot more draft choices unsigned than are normal. They speculate that the prospect of labor troubles is the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvermike Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 We open camp early in a slow year. I'm not worried we're screwing it up, but it is frustrating. I don't like it, but it's just a bad position. But hey, we'll get the guys into camp in time to have as much camp as the rest of the league not playing in the HOF game.
