Re: Bills Tender Freddy
it doesnt say what level they tendered him at. they better not tender him low and let someone come grab him."All hockey players are bilingual. They know English and profanity." ~ Gordie HoweComment

Re: Bills Tender Freddy
he is a ERFA not an RFA therefore I don't believe other teams can't make a play.Originally posted by Tatonka
I just hope they wrap him up with a deal worthy of sticking around for 4 years +Last edited by ddaryl; 02-25-2009, 09:36 AM.

Re: Bills Tender Freddy
They tendered him on the low. But like daryl mentioned...he is an ERFA so it doesn't matter.Originally posted by Tatonka
On the day they hosted free-agent running back Fred Taylor at their team headquarters, the Buffalo Bills retained Fred Jackson's rights with a one-year tender for the minimum $460,000, an NFL source informs me.
The minimum tender was expected, but Jackson doesn't want to sign it. Jackson has insisted he deserves a multiyear contract.
Jackson's agent, Jerry Douglas, wouldn't comment other than to confirm the formality was executed Tuesday. Douglas wouldn't discuss the amount of the tender.
"We can verify that Fred was tendered, which we anticipated," Douglas said.Originally posted by paladin warriorComment

Re: Bills Tender Freddy
There is only one tender level for an ERFA - it is the minimun salary based on the number of years in the leagueComment

Re: Bills Tender Freddy
That would make sense. Cause what incentive would a team have to offer more than the minimum if said player cannot even speak to other teams?Originally posted by floridajoeOriginally posted by paladin warriorComment

Re: Bills Tender Freddy
It would be unusual to give a long term deal to an ERFA because there is no need to do it. But in this case, it might happen because of how much they like him. They may be working on a new deal now and the tender was necessary to retain his rights.Originally posted by bigbub2352Comment

Re: Bills Tender Freddy
They can wait and offer him a long term contract next year. There's no reason to dent the cap more than is absolutely necessary. If he produces next season like he did this season, he'll get a high tender and then a long term deal before FA in 2010.Comment

- 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 http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/forum/feedback-forums/billszone-q-a/6521455-upgrade-report-bugs-here
