All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Just one day after the Atlanta Falcons used some of their available salary cap space to re-sign star linebacker Keith Brooking to a lucrative new contract, the club created some much-needed wiggle room, releasing three veterans and saving more than $9 million on the league spending limit.
The primary component of the moves, however, was cap-related. The team will save $3.125 million by releasing Ambrose, $2.6 million on Jefferson, and $3.3 million on Dronett. Total cap savings: $9.025 million
Someone said, that with the Brookings deal the Falcons don't have money to make a deal for Price. Well, now they have more than enough room.
In the end, there are only three liberal archetypes: The fools, the beneficiaries and the crooks.

To live in the presence of great truths and eternal laws,

Both TD and GW are playing dumb. Either they have no thoughts of trading PP, or, more likely, they just have no intentions of tipping their hand. All they've said about PP is how important he is not only to the offence, but the whole team. I'm not sure how much more than the 23rd spot in round 1 the Bills can hope to get for PP. After all, it was not that long ago that people were talking about letting him test free agency where all Buffalo would have gotten would be a (3rd round?) compensatory pick next year. Various mocks have anywhere from 4 to 7 (I even saw one I think where 8) DTs have been picked in round one. The 23rd pick in the draft would not put Buffalo in a position to draft Kennedy, Robertson, or Joseph, but they would have better odds of getting one of that top group of seven or eight (Kevin Williams, Johnathon Sullivan, Kenny Peterson, Rein Long, Ty Warren). That's better than we could have done otherwise.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
What he's worth and what we could get are two different things though. Although I do think we could get better than the #23 overall pick. I'd think a top 10, at least.
Originally posted by Mr. Miyagi Just heard John Clayton said that TD would probably trade Price to Atlanta for nothing more than their 1st rounder.
Can't believe Price is worth that little. I'd ask for a 1st rounder AND a later rounder, at least.
A first rounder is a heck of a lot more than the nothing we would have gotten if he had just gone a FA.
TD has pretty much said he is not going to pay Peerless the money he wants. If he can get a first rounder for him instead of nothing I think he is a genius!
