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!
This is only a test
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Whatever we decide to do for RB should not involve alot of sacrifice. We basically want to get someone here for one year and next year draft our franchise RB which will be better than anything that is available to us at the current moment. The line should improve, so even a decent RB should be able to now get decent yards.
I still say sign Chris Brown as the starter and Rhodes as the backup but both contracts should be low on guarantees and high on incentives!
If we're gonna take a chance on a RB, I rather us do it through the draft, and not on someone who is going to cost us our valuable picks....Just say NO to Turner....
GO BILLS!!!!!!

We could then give the Chargers the 32nd and 94th picks for Turner.
No you couldn't, the CBA doesn't allow this.
If you sign a RFA to an offer sheet, you need to have picks available to compensate the other team which are of equal or greater value than your original draft position in the rounds. This rule is in place to keep teams from trading down before making an offer to a RFA.
Thus, if you wanted to sign Turner to an offer sheet you would need a 1st round pick at #12 or higher and a 3rd round pick at #74 or higher.

From what I understand, technically that's correct. But terms are always negotiable. The Bills traded Peerless when he was a franchise player and would cost 2-1st rounders, for just 1-1st rounder.
Frankly I'd wait until just before the draft, tell the Chargers "here's our 2nd rounder, take it or leave it." Otherwise they risk losing him next year for nothing.
