Simple question

[ParanoidAndroid]

We should have a ZB "baby" pool.

I think little Donte is going to be born on Wednesday, Aug. 9th.

Agreed. The slotted amounts are clear and Whitners agent isnt going to budge. 600K or 1.1 mill doesn't matter. the numbers are what they are regardless of what the Bills org might think about them.

All of that aside, Marv better provide absolute proof, show us numbers marv, that the bills are right in their stance by monday or its going to be a nightmare for sure.

There is no need to split the bill, his contract is slotted and all indications (though no proof) show that the Bills are low balling him. They need to get their crap together and foot the bill. If they didnt want to pay this much they should traded down.

Outstanding. That is it in a nutshell. IMHO it seems to me Ralph and marv and Jim don't want to pay the guaranteed money. Ralph HATES being on the hook for anyone who won't possibly be here. It not only keeps him on the hook but you MUST almost force this kid into the lineup period. No way you can keep that much money on the bench even if he is 2nd string material when he got here.

They should have accepted the trade from Denver.

Brodrick Bunkley (#14) just signed with the Eagles. 6 Yrs/$17.5M, $9.775M in guarantees and a max value between $25M-$30M with incentives.

so its between us and the Fish to see who signs their guy first, how are Allen's negotiations going

[DraftBoy]

Just to note, Phins negotiations for Allen have taken a turn for the better as Allen is willing to sign a 6yr deal now. They only need to come together about money, I give it a few days by the end of the weekend it will be us and Leinart.

[The_Philster]

over the weekend :up:

[bflojohn]

I am getting sick and tired of looking around ALL day to see IF he's signed! I lurk at kffl and espn among others, and it is driving me nuts!! Sign already, Donte!

[Tinboy]

I honstely though he was going to be signed by now...

[THE END OF ALL DAYS]

who cares. without a QB it dont matter

I thought the slotted amount of gauranteed money was around 13.5, and Whitner's agent was looking for 14, the same as Huff. Did Whitner come back with "we'll take 13.5", and the Bills refused?

"I hate to keep telling you over and over, but there's nothing," said general manager Marv Levy after Friday's practice at St. John Fisher College. "To me it's stalemated, and I told the agent (Jonathan Hurst) we're ready to move forward without him. It's tremendously hurtful. The other guys have moved ahead of him, and I can't understand it."
Levy made it clear that one week into camp, Matt Bowen and Coy Wire are the No. 1 and 2 strong safeties, and Whitner is going to have a lot to make up if he hopes to challenge for playing time.
"I called the agent twice and told him about the importance of him being here and that I hoped they could work it out," said Levy. "And I told him very honestly that we're ready to move forward without the guy. It's not going to be our style to stop everything and have him catch up. We're not going to slow down. "The only thing that I would say was encouraging in the conversation I had is that the agent said Donte does want to get in there."
