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!
Adam Caplan, of Scout.com, reports restricted free-agent RB Michael Turner has signed his one-year, $2.35 million tender offer from the San Diego Chargers.

Turner will be traded on Draft day after the Browns take Peterson, the Bills take a player on D, and the Packers take Lynch. He'll be a Buffalo Bill for our 2nd this year, and a 2nd or 3rd next year. ......like I said, it's just a prediction.

^Well, I may have given Wilson too much credit^

Smith's setting up to dump him on Saturday. It'll be interesting to see how high the bidding goes, and who wins.
I was thinking the timing of this suggests a trade is imminent, and now there are other rumors flying, judging by the other threads that have popped up

He could sign the tender later and still be traded.
People are reading too much into this. There are a bunch of RFA that have signed their contracts, because the RFA signing period ended and they can't sign with anyone else.
Turner’s agent Bus Cook confirmed to The City Paper that Turner had signed the tender, but was not an indication of a looming trade in the works.
“I wouldn’t necessarily think that means anything is going to happen,” Cook said.
The Tennessee Titans are one of the teams interesting in acquiring the running back, and could even be the front-runner, though the Buffalo Bills are still believed to be in the running for Turner as well.
Bus Cook, Turner's agent, said yesterday he is not actively discussing a contract with any teams. A team trading for Turner would want to know it could sign him to a long-term deal before giving the Chargers draft picks.
Titans GM Mike Reinfeldt told the Tennessean newspaper he and Cook were close enough on their numbers that the team could confidently trade for Turner...
Smith never expected a team to sign Turner as a free agent, but the first and third was a starting point for trade talks. Smith believes a suitor for Turner could wait until tomorrow's first round of the draft to make its best offer.
If Buffalo selects at number 12 and does not trade up or down nor does it take a RB I can see Turner being traded soon after the Titans pick at 19. I think the Chargers are holding out to see if they can get the Titans #1 pick from them. If not they will then go with the best offer. I feel he will be traded before the Chargers first round pick.
