    What happened to the injury settlement for Crowell?

    If Crowell was healthy enough to play wouldn't he have already settled and been picked up by another team?

    I don't believe he has the option entirely to himself. And, I think he pissed off the Bills enough for them not to play ball. If he is released, rather then lost, we probably could lose comp picks.

        I didn't think he could get picked up while on IR................

          He can't. Nor can he be released.

            We could reach an injury settlement, and release him. That way we save on the money we pay, and he is free to be a free agent at what could prove to be an opportune time.

            I am no negotiations expert. But, I would figure there are some teams out there making a playoff push, that happen to be weak the OLB position. Heck, we probably could have won 2 more games had we had him. At the very least, he could choose a playoff/SB condender.

            I think when he is healthy he is a top 5 OLB in this league. And, since every team has at least two, that would pretty much make him a starter on any team in the NFL.

            So, with teams knowing their weaknesses at this point, and some of those teams knowing OLB is their weekness, and some of those teams in the playoff hunt.... he could be in high demand right now.

            We all know that with demade comes a higher price. Especially if two top teams in the same division both show interest.

            So, I think he wouldn't mind being a FA right now. Either way though, he is the best available OLB come years end.

            So, the real question is, do the Bills lose comp pick considerations if they reach an agreement, rather then let him walk? Because we all know Ralph would like to save some money. Unless he is really trying to make a statement.

              He is not healthy. He had major knee surgery.

                  Well, feel free name 5 better OLBs. I couldn't think of 5 that I would rather have.

                      Yeah, I'm just gonna have to disagree with ya on most of those. Either way, does 2 of them play on the same team?

                            You are crazier if you think Crowell is top 5.

                            Good player? Sure. Even very good. But not even close to top 5.

                              He gave you 9 players, I gave you 10.. I think atleast 5/19 are better than Crowell. Plus, you can't tell me that Bullock, Merriman and Hawk aren't better than Crowell. Atleast 3 of the guys I listed are hands down better and that doesn't include other notables such as Dansby and Porter who are both having killer years and are dominating for their respective teams.
