I have it on good authority

[BillsWin]

That the Bills will indeed sign Pisa Tinoisamoa when he comes in tomorrow and expect him to compete with Ellison for a starting position.

Or at least that is what both sides intend to do anyway. Contract disputes sometimes happen but it would appear that both sides would like to get something done.

Take it or leave it. A lot of you on these boards respect me and my info.


In other news, the Bills have shown little to no interest in Levi Jones they haven't even called his agent. There is plenty of time left in the off season though.


Oh and to comment on a thread by HHURICANE, I asked the source if the Bills would get into it with Baltimore for a shot at Suggs and the man said, "I don't think so. The Bills have enough issues at home money-wise. They need to get the rookies settled, and work with Fred Jackson."


I respect this source. He lives in connecticut and works for ESPN radio. Me and him have met several times. He know how big of a Bills fan I am and slips me bits of info every once in a while. I believe signing Pisa is possible. As for Levi Jones, I already knew from my own work that the Bills havent bit on him. All our reports have said that the Bills SHOULD look into him and that Levi would like to play for Buffalo. Not that the Bills like him.

Jones would not be able to pass a physical according to rotoworld. Which is what I've been saying. Jones is in bad shape.

The player rep for free agent OT Levi Jones admitted Monday that his client may have to wait for the summer to sign with a team.

Jones is recovering from extensive leg surgery and probably couldn't pass physicals. The Cardinals and Redskins have already denied any interest.

Re: I have it on good authority

good work billswin. i kinda figured that pisa chose to come to buffalo for his first visit above other suitors and is "excited" because he knows his role coming in and the bills already knew his $ before they decided to bring him in, so there isnt a big shocker coming with the bills and his agent. also the last place the bills would want him to end up is hopping a connection to foxbourgh from buffalo and loosing another FA that we covet to the pats, that alone is worth hammering it out.

funny you mention that Jim, but apparently the Patsies are not interested in Pisa. Something about him not fitting the scheme properly. The only news regarding Pisa to the Pats was a rumor started by a Boston Globe sports writer. Not a rumor really, just an opinion that he thinks the Pats should look into signing Pisa.

Have you ever been correct with your info? Once?

Re: I have it on good authority

Have you ever been correct with your info? Once?

Would you like this to happen or not?

[BillsWin]

Re: I have it on good authority

Have you ever been correct with your info? Once?

yes, several times. With the free agency it is hard to get rumors correct. Often, there are several teams interested in a player, and there are teams working under the radar and there are teams shouting their intentions.

I was right alot in free agency actually. For every bit of info I posted that didnt happen, 3 more happened and I usually broke the info before or right when it was posted on other sites according to some of the people who I was chatting with in the process.

But, like I said, alot of you respect my information and some of you don't. I could care less about the people who dont. Im just passing stuff along.

Re: I have it on good authority

I see Pat is reading this. I respect his info above many others. I'd like to get his opinion on whether or not the Bills sign Pisa.

Can you give some examples with proof of where you've been right? Sorry, but I haven't seen anything. I saw a bunch of postings about rumors that the Bills were going to go after certain guys in free agency, and it didn't happen. Doesn't mean you are a bad guy or anything. I'm just saying that, from my standpoint, I have to take your information with a grain of salt until proven otherwise. It's no different than if I posted that I know someone in Buffalo, and they think this deal is going to happen. It makes no difference to me if you do or don't care that I believe your information. From my perspective, you are posting information that you are "passing along" as you stated, but also you tend to try to come off like it is from a position of authority. And all I'm saying is that I myself have seen you post several times with "inside information" and I've never once seen it pan out.

For instance, Pat Moran has been right about some information. He has also been wrong. I'm sure he'll be the first to admit this. But at least he has a track record of providing some information before it broke. Coach Sal showed, particularly with T.O., that he had information because he was all over it before any news outlets. Therefore, when these guys post "inside info", I believe that there is a decent chance there is some teeth to it. In short, it's a credibility thing.

Yes, I would like it to happen. That is not the point. I have seen guys like BillsWin and more cowbell post many times that they have "inside information" and I've never seen it pan out. Therefore, I think it should be taken with a grain of salt, not as if it is a high probability.

good point, he is alittle undersized for the 3-4. i know of 2 other teams that had interest in him, the bucs and broncos, but i dont know or couldnt find out eithers level of interest. i do know as i said, if he is "excited" and he chose the bills as his visit something should get done. at this stage in free agency players like him or a derrick brooks for expample, dont really just visit teams. since there are limited teams looking into them and there is no injury that a work out needs to show they are over a agent usually only lets his client fly in if something is close. (now again i know the maurice hicks of the world do visits this time of year but they are 3rd and 4th tier free agents that have to do visits just work work up interest by any team that will let them visit)

Re: I have it on good authority

Thanks for sharing your info with us, BillsWin! I hope you are right....

Re: I have it on good authority

BillsWin is in the very rarefied group of the believable, in my view.

If it doesn't work, t will probably be because of something forward or this point.

this is a message forum not a NFL.com blog. weather it is true or not he has a right to post and as he said, those that believe will believe it, those that dont, dont. i actually had a conversation that will a front office gentlemen that told me that the bills wanted rey maualuga at 11 and that character concerns were bothering them but he was confident that if he performed well at his pro day they would draft him if the draft fell such a way. it did and they they took aaron maybin, who was NOT the guy they wanted all along. point is, you can never tell for sure until the contract or pick is signed or picked but pisa IS coming wednsday (graham is more than credable) and if you read into the post on profootballtalk and grahams blog they both emphasize that he is excited and they both refer to the meeting as a interview not a visit. that tells me that as i stated, the bills know his price and are comfortable with it and want to meet him in person to TRY to reach a deal.
