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!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Eagles have been shopping CB Asante Samuel in recent days, according to NFL sources around league. Eagles looking to make trade before draft. -Schefter
This is a deal I'd like to see us make. Philly has been desperate to move him for a while, we could fill a position of need and probably do so at a fair cost.
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

As pinkdogg said, he is a headcase & me first type player. He also seems to prefer the Big City lights, not sure how he would like Buffalo. I would not give up anything substantial for him.
He's a good CB and would represent an upgrade. Thing is, I'm not sure he actually is really a guy we can't live without.
We do need more CBs, but there's a draft full of decent ones, and Samuel isn't getting any younger. Rogers looks like he can play, and Williams definitely can, so if we find another good one in this draft to bring on, and McGee and Florence stay healthy, I don't think it's the best move going forward..
I'd also be wary of Samuel's lack of game discipline. While he might be a playmaker, I'd be concerned that his risk taking to do so, could cost us along the way. I'm not convinced the amount of good decisions he makes on the field, outweighs the chances he takes.
Its McGees health that makes me think we need to make the move. The guy simply can't stay healthy and to be able to fill that void, with a veteran for a season or two, is a solid move IMO.

Even for a 5th, he has a 10.5 million cap hit this year. No thanks.

This is exactly why we could use Samuel, he'd be healthy & on the field (unlike McGee).
i mean if we can get him for less than 4th, id be all for it, just dont wanna give up much for a guy who will certainly not be sticking around longer than he needs to.
If the Bills were that hard up for a CB, drafting Kirkpatrick, or Gilmore would make more sense than trading for Samuel in my opinion precisely because of his age. I'm not sure how much your going to get out of him assuming he would even want to be here. We already have Aaron Williams, but I'd prefer youth to an aging veteran CB with a bad reputation to pair with him.
