    Mon, 02 Aug 2010 18:50:43 -0400 Buffalo Bills RB C.J. Spiller, the team's first-round draft choice, remains unsigned. During an interview on ESPNews, Allen Wilson, of The Buffalo News, said he believes a deal could be completed toward the end of the week or by early next week. He said the two sides have moved forward in negotiations, but they still are not where they need to be.

          In my opinion, the silence is a positive. Things tend to turn ugly once the negotiations start happening through the media.

            Isn't the writing on the wall for both sides at this point? Picks above and below him have signed, so there should be some obvious middle ground upon which to strike a deal.

              In other news, it's also possible that the deal may happen late next week, or the following week, or the week after that. Stay tuned...

                Why do the Bills have so much trouble? Are we low-balling or are players so averse to playing here they give the team a hard time, hoping we give up?

                  i thought the hang up with this is that the escalators in spillers contract might be too hard for him in a crowded backfield. so that's the issue.

                  he doesn't want to sign and have no chance of hitting incentives he knows he could get if he was the featured back from the get go. he's leaving money on the table.

                  the bills don't want to provide low balled numbers.

                  i don't think this is the fault of anyone, it's just hte reality of this situation.

                      The Canadian Press is reporting there has been little progress in regards to the contract talks.

                            i can't imagine the bills screwing with the slotting of salaries. i really think this is a savy kid and an agent saying, "we aren't getting what we want because we know we aren't going to hit any of hte incentives the first year."

                            and i'm sure the bills will say, "the longer you sitout, the less snaps you get, so get with it and take the standard offer."

                            I think bills fans have a threshold of last 3 picks to sign. after that, we really put you in a "need to be a superstar".

                            and where is this money chris brown mentioned with schobel gone. throw the 6 mm at him and let's get this thing done.
