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!
Colts safety Bob Sanders has signed a five-year, $37.5 million contract with the Colts that includes $20 million in guaranteed money, according to NFL sources.
They signed Bob Sanders to a 5-year extension. This now means if Indy wants, they can franchise Clark, who's surely worth one of the top 5 TE salaries in the league.
Unless Indy is in more cap trouble than I know, I dont think he goes anywhere now.
Re: NOT good news for Dallas Clark to Buffalo wishers
there is NO way clark was coming to buffalo. the guy has had manning pitching to him.. why would he want to go anywhere that the team in in 10 years of crap?
In my day we did not have self-esteem... we had self-respect, and no more of it then we earned.

Re: NOT good news for Dallas Clark to Buffalo wishers
That said (and I agree yardrat) we really only need 1-2 guys to come in. We sign a WR and push for a guy like COrey Williams id be happy with that alone.

Although it would be nice, Clark, Briggs, and Haynesworth are most likely all pipe dreams.
Unfortunately this looks to be a very poor FA pool this year.
I don't know about that, Yard. Clark and Haynesworth will be almost undoubtedly franchised (I didn't think Clark would w/Sanders unsigned but obviously that's moot now). But I have been compiling a list of FA's and there are a lot of compelling names. I've even allowed for players that we can reasonably expect will be franchised and there are still many viable options for Buffalo (and the rest of the league, especially at RB, WR, and T). I've also cited this before but at the risk of being superfluous by hopeful FA for Buffalo involves Green Bay DT Corey Williams and Seattle wideout D.J. Hackett. Sizeable contracts involved but not so significant to make it unrealistic. But there are still other options for Buffalo besides the two of them and in fact, Lance Briggs WILL hit FA having reached his incentives that automatically prevent Chicago from being unable to franchise him again, which doesn't make him a pipe dream if the Bills had the resolve to sign him. We'll see what happens but here's an updated list of the 2008 "prominent" FA's:

Keep Hargrove, let he rest of them go to the Arena League where they belong.

There's no "e" in Clark, and there's no Clark in Buffalo.
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?
