BillsGuyInMalta Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 My best guess is that Pat Thomas is going to be our backup ILB this season, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them go and grab another veteran.

Red Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Click a link, you're sounding stupid. ok, from Forbes.com: "Bills LB DiGiorgio to miss season with knee injury By JOHN WAWROW , 07.25.09, 11:44 AM EDT PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills linebacker John DiGiorgio will miss the season after having surgery to repair bone damage in his right knee. His agent, Chris Murray, told The Associated Press on Saturday that DiGiorgio had surgery two weeks ago in Vail, Colo. Murray said the surgery went well, but that DiGiorgio isn't expected to be fully healthy until January. Coach Dick Jauron declined to comment on DiGiorgio and said the team will make an announcement later. Signed by Buffalo in 2006 as an undrafted free agent out of Saginaw Valley State, DiGiorgio appeared in six games before tearing a ligament in his right knee last season. His best year came in 2007, when he started 14 games." I don't read where he was waived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerball Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Pretty tough to pass a physical and get paid if you cannot play before camp. Too bad the league doesn't have some type of reserve status for guys who are injured. I don't know what they'll do with him, but if you do you should show your source.

We tossed better players to the curb before and they spent all the time at camp as well. Better players? DiGiorgio has proven to be a reliable LB, not to mention a top Special Teams player. He probably would still get paid on IR, but I doubt his contract would break the Bills bank. Why would we want to get rid of him? If there's a chance that he can come back and play next year, then I am fine with putting him on IR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
