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!

If Schobel stays retired, then I can't really blame the organization for Schobel's indecisiveness.
But if he signs with another team, then this was just plain stupid. He wasn't a good fit for the D in the first place, and if he didn't want to be here, or was even hesitant about being here, they should have traded him months ago.
Another Bills front office screwup.
He should have been traded to an NFC team or even Houston for anything to at least keep him away from a division team.
Was just thinking the same thing. And my guess is that Schobel wanted to play all along, just not in Buffalo. If I were the Bills, I wouldn't have let him off the hook that easy. The basically just made the guy a free agent. Outstanding!
I'm going to guess money has something to do with it.
Once again, the Bills botched this situation. They should have traded him for peanuts before the draft.
To who? Maybe nobody was even offering a 7th round pick for an over the hill guy who MIGHT play? Most indications out there were that he was done, and most rumors were that he didn't want to play for anyone but the Bills, if he played at all.
You could watch the guy during games, and at camp. He didn't want to be there. These guys make millions to play a game most of us would play for free, I have no love lost for Schobel. Thanks and goodbye.

Rumor has it we could have gotten 2 1st Round picks for a guy that kept saying, publicly, he wasn't sure if he was going to play again.
Teams were falling all over themselves for a guy showing that kind of commitment.
It will be screamed from the rooftops that the FO botched this one, but what are the options, really? Schobel handled this like a dick. If he wanted to play somewhere else, that was all he needed to say. Instead he comes with his 70-30 BS, and is still not committing to playing.
There must be more to the situation than we know, but if you are looking to get your conspiracy theory negativity in early, there you have it.

Traded him? He didn't want to play for anyone BUT Buffalo if he was going to play at all.
