    Turner Visiting Buffalo Today

    Restricted free agent Michael Turner will visit Buffalo on Wednesday.
    Buffalo would seem an even better fit for Turner than the Titans, who already have a back with similar skills in LenDale White. If the Bills get Turner under contract, they could use their first-round pick on a defender.

            It is true. He will visit Buffalo on Wednesday, per his agent.

            Here is what it says:

            The Tennessee Titans have entered preliminary negotiations with restricted free agent running back Michael Turner and have discussed compensation with the San Diego Chargers.

            Turner, tendered at a first and third-round compensation level, visited Nashville on Monday. Turner took a physical, met Titans coaches and watched film on the visit.

            “We have had some discussions with his agent about a contract, and we have discussed with the Chargers what they would consider to be proper compensation,” Titans general manager Mike Reinfeldt said. “We’ve had discussions, but nothing is imminent.”

            Asked if progress had been made, Reinfeldt replied, “I think anytime you’re talking, that’s a sign of progress. It’s when the talking stops that you don’t have progress.”

            Cook declined to talk about any specifics of his negotiations with the Titans, but added that Tennessee will have some competition as it pursues the backup to LaDainian Tomlinson.

            “He has a visit scheduled to Buffalo [today],” Cook said of Turner, who rushed for 502 yards a year ago.

            Meanwhile, Corey Dillon’s visit that was apparently set for today has been postponed. The two sides could not work out the logistics of the visit yet, and will likely push it back to later this week or the first of next week, according to Reinfeldt.

              It also says that the Titans are negotiating numbers with Turner already. It looks like it may be up to San Diego as to what they feel would be adequate compensation.

                I personally think it is posturing from the agent's side. He's trying to get as much as possible for his client and I have heard nothing about him being in the Buffalo area.

                    How do you get that he will visit Buffalo on Wednesday when it states today in the article?

                        Buffalo will have to really sweeten the deal with San Diego to pull past Tenn.

                            Let's not get too excited because if he truly was in Buffalo today, don't you think somebody would have heard about it?

                              If Tennessee signs Dillon the Bills get the power in the negotiations as there will no longer be a bidding war.
