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!
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

Doesn't say in the article, but it would seem as if Overdorf has made whatever offer and it's a "take it or leave it" deal.
It's impossible I think to really speculate until we find out what the Buffalo Bills are offering. Are the Bills low-balling or is Walker being unreasonable?
Again though, I'm more interested in us finding out exactly what we're offering. I'm dying to know if we're trying to low-ball him with a crap offer (and we knew he wanted a new deal before the trade)-- or if we've made a reasonable offer and Walker is simply being unreasonable in what he wants.

It's probably a mixture of the two. Unfortunately for us, we probably need him more than he needs us.
My bet is that Marv has offered an avg to above avg deal (Based on... Reed/Price/Denney/Kelsay/Walker/Dockery etc... ). If I were a betting man Walker and his agent view himself more "valuable" on the market! IMHO
Personally I think Walker is coming in High, and the Bills are coming in on Avg, if u look at it we lose players to high contracts, but usually keep players with avg deals, plus i got a feeling Walker dont want to play here!
Without sounding wishy-washy, I would guess both. I would guess the Bills are coming in low and Walker high.
And knowing agents, it's entirely possible that Walker has changed his demands since the two sides first talked at the time of the trade.
I know I'm naive, but Marv has always seemed like a straight shooter to me. It may very well be that this is not all about a crap offer from the Bills, or Marv's stupidity or Ralph's cheapness.
It may be at least partly that Walker's agent has not negotiated in good faith.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
Just out of curiosity, what does everyone here think that Walker's worth?
He's a 30-year old DT that seems to be on the decline. Every one of his 6 sacks were either on very sackable (Bledsoe 3), poor (E. Manning), or novice (Romo, Gradkowski) QBs, five of which were in games that the Eagles allowed an average of 26 points. He was an integral part of the league's 26th ranked rushing defense.
So what's Walker worth in y'all's opinion?
How many years, how much money, how big a signing bonus?

Sounds like you could be describing your boys Fletcher and Spikes, except Fletch is pushing 33, they couldn't master 6 sacks between them, and they were integral cogs in the league's 28th ranked defense.

Another objective summation of the evidence available, I see.
