    Transition tag Crowell!

    Why not? He is probably the bast available cover 2 OLB free agent.

    Seriously, help me out. Why not? Leave out the rumors and what reason is there not to?

      you'd have to pay him the average of the top 10 LBs. i think that's the price of the transition tag. no way ralph is going to do that after "showing him a lesson" at the begining of the year.

        The FO probably thinks that he is not a team player and is all about himself with how he handled his injury at the beginning of the season. They probably have a character issue with him. Who knows.

          is there any real evidence that they dont want him?

            Crow is nowhere near a top 10 LB in this league.

            Terrible idea.

              Even if we assumed that there is no animosity on either side (which is some pretty optimistic thinking)...

              Crowell still has a bum knee and we can't expect him to be the same player he was before.

                get his ass outta here after what he pulled...

                lets go to war with Pos, Mitchell and Ellison and draft an LB in either rd 1-3.

                  I could be wrong, but aren't transition tags reserved for RFA's?

                  Either way, I think Jackson would be a more valuable use of a transition tag than Crowell.

                    I would say the putting him on IR is but thats my opinion. I would love to have him back and he was sorely missed but I highly doubt that hes back next year.

                      I'm thinking we would have to pay top 10 to get a good cover 2 OLB either way. We might as well get our own guy, who happens to be better then any available.

                      Are the top 10 LBs all paid top 10 $? No. The ones who have been free agents in recent years have cashed in. Higher cap, weak available talent = people who aren't even as good cashing in.

                      Crowell would bring more value to us then any other team, and many teams would be willing to pay top 10 OLB $$.

                      So IMO, your wrong! Again!

                        I believe you are wrong. Jackson is restricted so he needs no tag. Greer would be the next best option, I think.

                        I believe the idea is he will be back 100%.

                        It's a business. I think it would be best for the Bills. Who cares what Crowell thinks.

                          According to Chris Brown's weekly Fan Friday, he had microfracture surgery so I am guessing he will get a 1 year deal somewhere at best. If we are going to throw money somewhere I would realistically throw it at Matt Birk or Bo Scaife or Owen Daniels. DE will have to be our 1st Round Pick, maybe LB in Roudn 2 if they start to fall.

                            So you want to go into the draft with gapping DE and OLB needs and have our big FA aquisition be a center?

                            That actually sounds horribly accurate.

                            A transition tag will probably give Crowell a 1 year deal. ANd, it gives us one more year without the gapping hole.

                              Doing this would perpetuate us into overpaying for any and everyone.

                              We did this already with Evans.

                              We did this with Dock.

                              We're likely to do it with Peters if he gets his way.

                              We did it with all three of our garbage DEs. Schobel, Kelsay, Denney.

                              We did it with Roscoe.

                              Aren't you sick of spending outlandish money on the "talent" and getting very low returns on those investments?
