Falcon Fans seem to think we have no leverage with respect to Peerless..

They do not truly understand our cap situation. No way TD removes the tag

[Ebenezer]

they are as informed as 'Fin fans.

It is quite amusing reading. They think they hold the cards and we think we hold the cards. I personally feel we hold the cards because there is a big need for WR by many teams.
It is absurd that many of them think that if Price plays in Buffalo this year that he will tank the season. What player would tank a season knowing he will be be a FA next year? His price tag would be 6 million for Buffalo next year so you know they would not franchise him again. It would only hurt his value.
There is a lot of value later on in FA so Buffalo can wait on Price (unless he signs the offer sheet). Atlanta fans are really fooling themselves regarding moving on if they don't get Price. I guess they can move on but who are they going to get to catch the ball. I guess they forgot about that.

If the Bills tagged him next year, it will be at 120% of this years tag......

Falcons, if they truly want to add the weapons that Vick needs, will eventually trade for Peerless. Jets will match any offer sheet for Coles, so their WR options are limited

[clumping platelets]

that's $6.012 million

Some guy thinks Boss Baily will be around for their first round pick (23)

[TedMock]

Receiver options are very limited and yes the Jets will keep Coles. Buffalo's in fine shape. If we get a 1st round pick that's obviously the huge bonus and Atlanta pays Price 5.1 mil. If it doesn't work out we release his cap money and Atlanta pays more for Price and he possibly ends up elswhere for even more money. He is the hot commodity in the WR market so if he's released look for the bidding war to begin. In that case, we don't get a 1st rounder but we still sign Sam Adams and Takeo Spikes and we draft for depth. There's nothing wrong with a young DT learning for a couple years under Sam Adams and Pat Williams.

is anybody posting and setting these clowns straight?

I was too lazy to register at another site

[Schobel94]

We have all the leverage, especially now that Boston is signed and that the Jets will not give up Coles. We have all the cards, we can afford to keep him an extra year, but the question is can Atlanta live without an impact reciever?

[don137]

If no one wants to give a #1 then we can get a #2 from Arizona for Price. They are hurting now that they lost Boston. Of course they are hurting all over with Plummer & Boston gone and Marcel Shipp is their best RB.

100% correct. He will not remove the tag. Also anything less than a 1st rounder and some other goodies and he won't be going to Atlanta via trade. I would rather he remain a Bill than give him away.

TD maintains that while the Bills would prefer to sign PP for a more cap friendly long term deal, they can afford him as a franchised player and sign the FAs we need. He is going to stand firm and if Atlanta doesn't budge, they will find themselves screwed.

I don't really give a damn what those yahoo's from the south are saying. If Atlanta doesen't give Buffalo what they want for Peerless, then who are they going to sign? Boston-gone. Coles-offer will be matched by the Jets. Draft-won't develop this coming season. This deal makes sense for both teams as long as they give Buffalo what they desire for Peerless. The ball is clearly in their court, and TD woulden't have it any other way.
