I liked him as a leader and set a great example for the younger guys. Now the guys have to look up to players like Clements....Oh joy

Shoot. I'd really like to see him added to the coaching staff as a defensive assistant.

DAMMIT.

We may just lose to Detroit if Tim Anderson ends up playing most of the game.

Re: As expected, Troy Vincent has been released

I hated him as a FS. Bad angles, suspect tackling, just not the player i had hoped with the conversion...As a leader he's awesome.. But how the hell can i/we overlook him as the player 1st though? i refuse to...Cya Troy!

I hope he sticks around the area for awhile. I won an auction to go out to dinner with him.

One of the classiest players ever to wear a Bills uniform.

Here's a piece of an article from this afternoon.

Vincent expects Bills to release him


ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) -Troy Vincent expects the Buffalo Bills to grant his wish to be released by the end of this week.

The veteran defensive back told The Associated Press on Thursday he made the request Wednesday and is waiting for the Bills to complete the paperwork. The 15-year NFL veteran said he's fully recovered from a left hamstring injury that led the team to place him on injured reserve four weeks ago.

Vincent is prepared to seek offers from another team once his release is complete.

``I'm ready to go,'' the 35-year-old Vincent said. ``To be fair, it was the right time for me. ... Now's the time for me to look at where I'm at. And I still want to play some football.''

Coach Dick Jauron said Thursday the team had not yet released Vincent, but he expected the move to be made soon.

Vincent has already cleared out his locker and his nameplate is no longer above his stall.

While Vincent said he enjoyed his two-plus seasons in Buffalo, he's not pleased with how the team handled him after he was hurt in the season-opening loss at New England. Citing their depleted depth at safety, the Bills placed Vincent on IR even though his injury was considered relatively minor.

Vincent, who has three years left on his contract beyond this season, believes the move was a way for the team to cut him by taking the unusual step of placing him on what's known as IR-minor.

While the designation means Vincent is guaranteed his $2.6 million salary this season, it also allows the team to release the player once he's healthy.

``That was a front-office decision and you live with it,'' Vincent said. ``When they put me on IR-minor, it's clear that's a decision they made that tells me they don't want you around. ... You don't want to be in a place where you're not wanted.''

Vincent was surprised by the move, particularly after he made the season-opening roster and after he initially hurt his hamstring in training camp.

Do you think Takeo is still ticked off about the handling of Vincent?

I wouldn't be surprised if TKO is next or doesn't want his contract renewed once it's up.
