I have been working on roster I am contributing to BillsZone. I have been scouring multiple sources for info, a lot of info the Bills do not provide and some of they provide is wrong.

I have the latest version available:
http://members.cox.net/billswatch/2003_Roster.html
javascript needs to be enabled for sort to work.

I have added a column "Obtained" as well as the players' birthdates. Age has been moved to end for it is very unreliable and is an item which needs to be dynamicaly updated.

I used the Bills website as well as many other websites to obtain this info. Some of it contradicted each other in which case I usually found a third source. I am most interested in columns "Obtained" since some of this is debateable (if a player is obtained, released and re-obtained does should I record original date) so I usually put 2003 if the player has not been on active roster.

I am thinking of adding additional info such as which teams a player played for prior to Billls and looking for more suggestions. corrections and general feedback.

Really? What constructive suggestions do you have? I would be interested. I have one for you - get a spell checker for your spelling is 'horrriable'. :flush:

Updated. They must have updated it since I last checked. Thomas must have had to give it up for Jett.

:cool:

Keep them coming!

Excellent! I'm confused on Boldin, though. I read a few weeks ago that he had been cut, but he continues to be listed on the official BB site roster.

I've been told over on the BB Forum that Boldin was released earlier, then re-signed last week. Doesn't really matter, he,s cannon fodder, anyway.

Damn, you need to get a job!!

Why not put in what each players contract is, length/$$$$. Don't ask me how you can obtain that info. though.

I have a job. I have been employed, often double employed, for 20+ years sans a few months.

I know where to obtain that other info though - on BillsZone Salary Cap page (http://www.billszone.com/YourSite/global/templates/view.php?action=YourSite_content&month=2&state=news&nid=4172), a page I have found so useful I linked it to my website.

Some people do mock drafts, others do wallpapers or player analysises - I organize info, a skill I learned on the job.
