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!
Re: AP reports Whitner and Bills working on new deal
I thing Whitner is under-appreciated. I think the fans that refuse to acknowledge his ability and value will be very disappointed when he doesn't get backup money. This guy is good and getting better, and I am glad that the front office isn't a bunch of over-reacting fans that will judge his worth on interceptions alone.
Re: AP reports Whitner and Bills working on new deal
he's an average player, like fitz, who is servicable for the time being, but in a year or two will need to be replaced entirely. He isn't the biggest weakness of the defense, but he doesn't relaly make it all that much better. I hardly notice when George Wilson goes in for his place. and when i do notice, Wilson usually has done something worth noting.
Re: AP reports Whitner and Bills working on new deal
The guy is under appreciated. People knock him because our front office picked him at 8, and he voices his opinions on twitter. I think Donte is proud to be a Buffalo Bill. I think he represents our team very well on and off the field. He is our defensive workhorse, and well liked by fellow players and coaches. He wears his emotions on his sleeves and wants to win for this city badly. I also believe this guy is caught up playing more than his safety position. With our LB's being very mediocre, Whitner has to step up and make the 6-8yd tackles that the LB's missed. I think once we get good DE's and 2nd level help, Whitner will shine brighter.

Can't be creating holes in our team with the amount of ones we already got.
That's it exactly, IMO. Build not destroy. There's no guarantee that any rookie will be any better and Whitner isn't horrible, he's a solid backup who is getting better just too slowly.
Sign him long term and add a rookie at some point to push him.
