Re: TO signing helps the Bills get other FA or hurts?
I think it helps, say what you want about TO but this move shows a commitment to win some games... nothing else. That should helpI remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Re: TO signing helps the Bills get other FA or hurts?
I hope it helps, because we still have a batch of holes to fill.
The TO signing will give us a big time weapon, but we won't sniff 7 wins again without a lot of other help.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?

Re: TO signing helps the Bills get other FA or hurts?
I think it helps. He adds relevance. Players on the Bills are already hailing the signing (Whitner and Stroud).
Players not on the Bills but out there will be interested or at least be thinking about us.

Re: TO signing helps the Bills get other FA or hurts?
As much as I am not particularly a TO fan, I think it helps.
1.) TO will bring attention from all of the national outlets to the Bills and players like getting attention. Guys who sign with the Bills know that the media will be watching and if they play well they could capture some of that attention.
2.) It gives the Bills a potentially much better offense (if they add a couple of pieces to the O-line and a young TE) and better able to compete in the AFC East. Guys who didn't think they had a chance to win against Miami, NE and the Jets may now have second thoughts about that.
3.) It will send a message that, even if the Bills may seem "cheap", they are committed to trying to improve and win.
Players play the game not just because they love to play and want to get paid, but because they want to win and want to get attention (to be known and become stars). TO being in Buffalo may make other players feel that they can get that attention and win if they come to the Bills. And, the Bills don't need to have that many good players come on board in order for the team to step up to the next level: a couple more really solid players will make the team capable of doing that.Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. And, thus it was that they surrendered their freedom; not with a bang, but without even a whimper.Comment

Re: TO signing helps the Bills get other FA or hurts?
Consider how noone would touch us with a ten foot pole, signing TO should definitely help show that the Bills are serious about winning and this would help entice more players to come to Buffalo.

Re: TO signing helps the Bills get other FA or hurts?
Initially thought it would hurt, but I've kind of waffled. It turns heads, like a hot blond with a 2 cent head, but turns head none the less. If a couple guys get caught staring long enough they might say "hey, why NOT Buffalo".
