Talk about an unstable team. I doubt Seattle matches last years 7 wins without Hasselbeck at QB. I would not be surprised if Seattle finishes last in that division this year.

I expect Arizona, if they get Orton or Kolb to compete with the Rams for 1st place with the 49ers & Hawks fighting to stay out of last place.

No they don't. Only one team will make the postseason from that division & it won't be Seattle.

[Bill Cody]

Anyone know Atlanta's cap situation? I think they are the team that is in the driver's seat with Clabo. Seattle? That is a shaky team at best and they now have a shaky player at QB. We'd be on pretty even footing with them.

Atlanta approx $14 mil under the cap

La Canfora: Bills Showing Interest In Falcons OT Tyson Clabo (http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2011/7/27/2297605/nfl-free-agency-rumors-tyson-clabo-bills)
Piling onto a blurb from Adam Caplan that the Buffalo Bills could be interested in free agent offensive tackle Willie Colon comes this: NFL.com's Jason La Canfora reports that the Bills are now also showing interest in Tyson Clabo.
http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/../mt/images/newsicons/bills.gif buffalorumblings.com/Brian Galliford | Posted at 01:21 PM

[DraftBoy]

Falcons have made re-signing Clabo priority #1 with Johnson off the market and there loss of interest in Edwards.

Dimitroff will be tough to beat for his services.

[The last buffalo fan]

Who is this guy? Is he good, elite? Is there any other player that we can compare his game level with?

[cookie G]

we're competing with 2 playoff teams. Dude, unless we pay him significantly more than what the other two are offering, he's not coming here.

They will, but Atlanta hasn't signed Dahl or Blalock yet, so you get into a question of what Atlanta can offer.

I question how serious Seattle really is, considering they just drafted Carpenter in the 1st, to go with Okung last year.

[cookie G]

Who is this guy? Is he good, elite? Is there any other player that we can compare his game level with?

RT - Falcons, made the Pro Bowl last year as an alternate. Originally an undrafted FA (or low draft choice), been starting for 4 years now.

Better in run game than pass, but is very good in the run game. Probably compares to a Jon Runyan type.

Spiller and Jackson would be really happy.

Seattle is looking for a cheap veteran and are probably not really in the mix...

[psubills62]

Well, if we do happen to sign Clabo, then I have little doubt that will be the overpaying so many people didn't want to see.

[k-oneputt]

Rather overpay for an o-tackle then a below avg. lb.

[Philagape]

You gotta overpay to get real talent, especially now. Just gotta pick your spots and get the right guys

[Blame Canada]

seattle just signed robert gallery. it was reported they would not sign clabo and gallery. clabo is down to ATL or BUF

[mayotm]

Well, if we do happen to sign Clabo, then I have little doubt that will be the overpaying so many people didn't want to see.Exactly, the same people griping about the Bills not doing anything will gripe about the above market deal the Bills will have to pay to sign him.

Clabo would be big money

The NFL Network is reporting the Bills are among the teams talking with Atlanta right tackle Tyson Clabo. He's the top right tackle on the free-agent market and will draw a huge contract. Atlanta would like to keep him. Seattle reportedly is among the teams interested. Count on several others being in play, as well.
---Mark Gaughan

[NOT THE DUDE...]

SIGN HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[psubills62]

Would love it if this happened, but I'm certainly not getting my hopes up.

[cpearl]

Seattle just signed Gallery. They are out. They now have 2 big money tackles (with last years draft pick,Okung). This may help Buffalo.

[X-Era]

Free got 4 years and 32 mill.

You can expect Clabo to be around that area. RT vs. LT is a difference. But if you think we can get Clabo for 4 mill per your crazy. That discussion probably starts at 6 mill and could easily be 7.

[NOT THE DUDE...]

GIVE HIM 8 MIL AND GET IT DONE. HE WOULD SOLIDFY THE OLINE

[THRILLHO]

Bills have expressed interest in Clabo. This should get some of you off the ledge. We are competing with ATL and SEA

It is great to see your name authoring a post again. Hope we nail this one down.

[NOT THE DUDE...]

Good to hear.
Unfotunately, iirc, Clabo isn't a guy who is solely motivated by money.
Don't get me wrong, I don't believe he will undervalue himself, but I do think he's the type of guy who once he gets to a certain amount, will then start considering other aspects.
I think the Bills may have to be a fair bit over the Falcons offer, to entice him away from a situation where he is comfortable.

He is a huge guy who is a road grader in the run game. Undrafted guy who bounced around and had to work himself up where he is right now. He made the Pro Bowl last year, so he can't be terrible.

There are definitely more athletic OT, but the guy is huge and hasn't yet turned 30. I wouldn't pay him LT money, but he is a good starting player who would be a real asset on a team that wants to build their offense around the running game.

[Michael82]

The question I want to know...can Clabo handle Left Tackle? Because if he gets paid the $7 or 8 million per year that I think it's going to take...I have a feeling that the Bills would move him to Left Tackle and put Bell at RT.

[Raptor]

Just RT's he's top 5

Run blocking he is top 10 overall, he's a mauler

He's basically Jon Runyan. Maulers in the run game who are both pretty good at pass protection but have some issues with speed rushers

[X-Era]

Because if he gets paid the $7 or 8 million per year that I think it's going to take...I have a feeling that the Bills would move him to Left Tackle and put Bell at RT.I can answer that. Probably not. Bell is underrated but you really wan t athletes at LT... guys that are light on their feet.

He probably isn't athletic enough to play LT. Neither him or Sam Baker (their LT) are great pass protectors. He is a very good at getting push in the run game, though.

I think the real underrated guy on that Atlanta OL is Harvey Dahl.

[tampabay25690]

Contract talks between free agent RT Tyson Clabo and the Bills remain ongoing and appear to be serious.If Clabo wants to play for a contender, he's only doing this for leverage. "It's a possibility. But nobody has agreed to terms or anything," he said. Especially on the offensive line, many pieces have yet to fall into place. Once Clabo or someone like Jermon Bushrod signs, the rest of the OLs will have a starting point. Jul 27, 9:14 PM

[Ickybaluky]

OK. Top 5? top 10? RT?

I don't know. He isn't that kind of athlete, but not every top OT is a great athlete. He is a guy who can be real good in certain schemes. He is a very good player on a running team that does a lot of drive blocking. He isn't a guy who is going to lead a sweep, but he can lock up on a guy and muscle him. He is huge. He isn't as good at the finesse stuff, so he wouldn't be as good a fit on a team like Indy, where they want more athletic OL. Works well in a play-action, power run offense like Atlanta or Oakland.

[FlyingDutchman]

whats so appealing about Clabo?

[Extremebillsfan247]

I can answer that. Probably not. Bell is underrated but you really wan t athletes at LT... guys that are light on their feet.Right, that's why Jason Peters worked out so well there, originally a Tight End. As far as Clabo goes, he would be a solid addition to our Oline. There has been talk hovering around him and the Bills for quite awhile now as rumor. If they land him, our Oline would be just about set. JMO

[Ickybaluky]

whats so appealing about Clabo?

The guy is a real good player at RT and is probably a very safe signing. He hasn't turned 30 yet and has the kind of work ethic that even after getting the money he will keep working. You don't go wrong spending money on that type of guy because you know what you are getting.

People worry too much about what these guys make. You don't get into cap trouble paying good players a lot of money. You get into trouble when you pay that kind of money to someone who isn't that good. With Clabo, you know what you are getting, and he is one of the top drive blockers in the NFL.

Even if he is "overpaid" a little, you are getting a good player who is a real upgrade for Buffalo. I think it would be a hell of a signing.

[CAbills]

I would love Wood to center, Dahl and Clabo to play the right side from the Falcons.

[Ickybaluky]

Started Guard then moved to RT if I am correct...

Yeah. He played G in college and came in the NFL at that position. He bounced around on a few practice squads and played in NFL Europe. Finally worked his way into the starting lineup at RG. He didn't spend a lot of time there and has been at RT the last few years. He has teamed with Harvey Dahl (also a FA) to really provide push for the run game. A couple of road graders.

He hasn't played LT in Atlanta, Sam Baker is the LT. When Baker was hurt, Will Svitek filled in at LT.

[methos4ever]

Think of it this way - should (hopefully when) they sign him, you have a 4-5 year contract that will have him start at right tackle at minimum a year and then can move to RG where he can truly shine should Hairston develop correctly.

And at whatever he's making at Guard, it will be a deal compared to what guards will be making in 2 years.

Wikipedia says he has signed with the Sabres :D

Tyson Clabo (born October 17, 1981) is an American football offensive lineman who has recently signed with the Buffalo Sabres. Clabo announced the change of sports after Terry Pegula and his wife, Kim, flew to Clabo's home to make a personal pitch on why he should make his new home "Hockey Heaven.". He was originally signed by the Denver Broncos as an undrafted free agent in 2004. He played college football at Wake Forest.

Clabo originally signed with Denver as an undrafted rookie free agent. Waived by the Broncos, he then signed with the New York Giants as a practice squad member. Clabo eventually was signed to the Falcons practice squad in September 2005 and re-signed by the Falcons team in January 2006.

Of course he has. What fool is going to turn down 5 years 83 million :up:

This would be a significant upgrade and a serious signing.

Nice to see you swing back to the positive side. We have Op for the negative point of view, don't crowd him.

It seems like if there was any fire to this smoke we would have heard about it through a credible source. I feel like Clabo was using the Bills as leverage.

atlanta sports radio 790 the zone said rumors are true that clabo is probably going to bills, just heard it...

Funny, because the latest twitter "source" posted said on 790 they were saying that he re-signed for 6 years and 75M. Lot of crap out there.

If Jesus Christ himself came down from heaven to play RT for the Buffalo Bills I wouldn't pay him that kind of money.

Aw man. That really sucks. Sounds like he really doesn't want to come here and is giving the Falcons every chance to match or come close to the Bills offer.

[Philagape]

Longer it goes, worse it gets for the Bills I think

[scartown]

Yea it looks like we will find out tomorrow

[ChristopherWalken]

Hes obviously using the Bills as leverage. IMO, for this to happen, the Bills need to make it impossible for Falcons to counter.

[elltrain22]

It's pretty clear to me. Buffalo's offer is substantially better, but, he loves Atlanta, and wants to give them every opportunity to up their offer. Atlanta seems dead set on not out bidding us, but who knows, they may change their mind and up their offer, and we're SOL. I honestly think, in the end, he's gonna be a Buffalo Bill. If this is the case, this is the best FA signing since Takeo Spikes.

[DrGraves]

blah.. i was really hoping to have an answer today. no its just another day without improving the team while everyone else around us does..

With that said, just in case I'm wrong (or right), I'll be checking twitter all night long!!!

[superbills]

Aw man. That really sucks. Sounds like he really doesn't want to come here and is giving the Falcons every chance to match or come close to the Bills offer.

I wouldn't read it as "he doesn't want to come here" but I've heard that he loves Atlanta, loves the team, and would love it if the team matched the Bills offer. Can't fault a guy for wanting to stay "in his comfort zone" while playing for a team that may have a shot at a title sooner rather than later. Doesn't necessarily mean he'll be devastated if he has to live in Buffalo though.

[DrGraves]

a real organization would step up their offer to draw him away from atlanta. i hope the bills realize they need to too.

[Jan Reimers]

People should spam this **** out of those twitter accounts claiming it was 100% done to Buffalo. ****ing low-lifes.

If I'm right there is still Gaither, Ryan Harris, and Matt Light.

I'd like Light out of that list.

WOW that sucks

[superbills]

Face it. We're the Detroit of our division. We're going to have to dig our way out of this. No one is going to come here and pull us out.

[Bulldog]

Bet he stayed in Atlanta for less money. This team is pretty much ****ed. Not just because we lost out on Clabo, but the entire league views this franchise as a joke. It's going to take a lot of Luck to change that perception. ****!

If you are drafted you will go...
If you are a FA you won't....
This sucks........

**** MY LIFE. I hope clabo has his leg snapped in half this year.

[psubills62]

I hate being the leverage team.

It was still fairly obvious that was what was happening. People shouldn't have gotten their hopes up. Let's just hope the Bills have interest in some of the remaining OT's on the market.
