why has adams not signed yet?

[Tatonka]

his signing is still not official.. we still dont have accurate contract numbers or a signing bonus figure..

whats the dealio?

it makes me nervous.

Watch him bail out on us.

[Tatonka]

that would be odd, considering he is talking the talk like he is here.. and the numbers are agreed upon.. i just cant figure why he wouldnt be signed yet...

if he were to bail out on a verbal agreement, i would guess that it would ruin him, but is a verbal agreement legal binding contract? i believe it is.

Any lawyers here?

TD is at meetings in Arizona so that would be the only reason I can think of. Also maybe TD wants to be there fot the press conference. Go Bills!

How is he in Ari when Gary, Ismail, and Gash visited today?

Is Modrak running the show?

[Romes]

The players are going to be in town Friday. The owners meetings ended Thursday.

Thanks for clearing that up Romes, I thought they came in today.

Yea i was starting to wonder that too, and with TD being in Arizona, thats the only reason I can think of. And don't mention Sam bailing on us, we don't wanna jinx it.

[Tatonka]

honestly.. i dont think he can.. he is legally bound by a verbal committment.. as far as i know.

I was just updating our BFZ transaction page, and oddly, Takeo Spikes has not been "officialy" added as well.

Could be salary cap mumbo jumbo- they will be in Bills uni's- I think the NFL would impose very harsh penalties on the player/agent if they pulled funny stuff.

It could also hinge on a player's passing a physical, which may not have been performed yet either.

I noticed this on a lot of other team transaction pages as well.

Spikes in on the official site! Go Bills!

Actually, there is not legal contract in a VERBAL agreement. It just makes you look bad. If you remember...Dusty Ziegler agreed to re-sign with us and had a verbal contract....but he screwed us and signed a contract with the Giants the next day. :angry:ing Ziegler!

I was told by a guy who is a fledgling scout that the holdup is with the language in the contract regarding incentives. It happens occasionally and is just a matter of straightening it out so that the league likes it.

I've never blocked anyone in here, but tatonka, you have brought me to the edge. I can't stand that stupid freakin picture you have. From here on in I will put you on ignore.
