    ...the Bills intend to strike deals with a pair of players that do not have a contract in place for next season. Those players include kicker Rian Lindell and right tackle Erik Pears.

    Once those two contracts are finalized, the Bills will then focus on paying Jackson.

                I don't understand why they can't negotiate more than 1 or 2 at a time. Its not like Pears and Lindell are going to take up large portions of the payroll.

                  You are correct Stevie would get a huge raise and shouldn't complain 1 sec....
                  $8 mill a year raise for the young man..
                  He will get his contract but not right away...

                      I understand how its a slower process mid-season but I don't understand why they want to wait for Pears and Lindell.

                      And I'm basing my statement that they aren't negotiating with more than 1 or 2 at a time off of Yardrat's quoted text which says, that they want to finalize Pears and Lindell before paying attention to Jackson.

                        The obvious answer to me would be the fact that Jackson is under contract for 2012, while Pears and Lindell are not.

                        What's more important right now? Renewing a player that is already signed through 2012, or getting a couple delas done that, if they don't get done, might leave the team with a hole at OL and K?

                        Jackson doesn't sound like he's worried about it, so I'm not either, for the time being.

                          Right, I get that and I'm also not worried. What I'm wondering is just that the way the article states it makes it seem that the Pears and Lindell need to be done first because those contracts will have some bearing on Jackson. If it doesn't have any bearing why not negotiate simultaneously?

                          Or is Jackson's deal going to be so big that they need their undivided attention on that?

                              Overdorf is the brick wall between Fred & his next contract. He ordered the axing of Evans to recoup the expected gate losses in the upcoming Dec. games.

                              Does anyone actually believe Nix is the problem ? Seriously ?
