‘Seattle definitely can use Washington…But can the Seahawks afford him?’

‘He reined back tears on several occasions as he bid farewell to former teammates and thanked his wife, coaches, and parents.’

‘Wright declined to comment on what it will take to sign Washington, a 10-year veteran and one of the league’s premier run-stuffers in a 3-4 front. "But we’re not going somewhere on the cheap, I know that," Wright said.’

‘Concluding nearly three weeks of negotiations, Hansen agreed to reduce his scheduled 2001 base salary from $3 million to $2.5 million, thereby granting the Bills the salary cap relief they needed from him. The restructuring, sources told SportsLine.com, will be officially signed Wednesday.’

‘Johnson and Flutie have salary cap figures of nearly $8 million each and whomever is chosen to remain in Buffalo will have to restructure his contract. Adding additional years to help in the accounting of bonus money makes more sense financially with Johnson, who is 10 years younger than Flutie.’

‘Doctors who operated on Thomas’ right knee in December shook their heads.

"They told me that if I reinjured it, I could end up with a permanent limp," Thomas said.’

‘The wounds that festered after Buffalo’s incomprehensible act of cutting their all-time rushing leader in a tawdry salary cap move, were healed in a classy ceremony in the field house attended by his family, former teammates, coaches, administrators and owner Ralph Wilson.’

Since everyone else is posting information from our message board, we might as well too. According to a trusted poster on the Stadium Wall message board, Rob Johnson has survived the final battle between him and Doug Flutie. This is the earliest report of the quarterback decision on the internet. (TBD normally doesn’t post such items here, since we tend to be cautious with “unofficial” news.)

This source has broke several stories, including the hiring of Gregg Williams, before any other media outlet. That includes CNN/SI, ESPN, the Buffalo News, and the AP. That is why other internet sites are so confident in publishing information from our message board community. We are honored to be their source of information!

However, TBD cautions that nothing is final until GM Tom Donahoe makes an announcement.

‘Concluding nearly three weeks of negotiations, Hansen agreed to reduce his scheduled 2001 base salary from $3 million to $2.5 million, thereby granting the Bills the salary cap relief they needed from him. The restructuring, sources told SportsLine.com, will be officially signed Wednesday.’

‘Whether or not Thomas epitomized the greatest team never to win a Super Bowl, there’s no doubt about one thing …’

‘Once the salary-cap-based decision is announced by Thursday, about half of football-mad Buffalo will hail the Bills president and general manager, and the other half will deride him.’
