Fred Davis has offer in hand from Bills

[X-Era]

http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2013/03/28/free-agent-te-davis-in-the-building/

"Buffalobills.com has confirmed that Washington free agent TE Fred Davis is in the building at One Bills Drive (http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-2/Free-agent-TE-Fred-Davis-visits-Bills/bfa3d033-0e18-40f3-92ea-19e291b4197f)on a free agent visit.
Davis arrived in town this morning and completed his physical with team doctors. He’s now touring the team’s facility and will be meeting with Bills coaches this afternoon.
You can read more here (http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-2/Free-agent-TE-Fred-Davis-visits-Bills/bfa3d033-0e18-40f3-92ea-19e291b4197f)."

I would think if he failed the physical he wouldn't continue the visit. But, I suppose the results may not yet be known.

I think we have a real shot to sign him.

[X-Era]

LaCan't-see-straight says Davis will meet with the Jets tomorrow... That's if he leaves unsigned.

[Mr. Miyagi]

It would be nice to have a real TE since......Riemersma?

[swiper]

If Davis signs today, you can bet the Bills convinced him they have a plan in place for QB that he liked enough to come on board.

[Jaybird]

He shouldn't leave. if he comes back healthy, a great move for this team. Tight End has been a need for years now. With Fred and Chamdler int he mix we woudl be strong at the position

[EDS]

Um, my guess is he is looking for the most available dollars above all else. We are not talking about Tony Gonzalez here.

[Oaf]

This guy is not going to a savior just because he's a brand name TE. Smart potential signing, but no need to lock the door behind the guy..

[Maximilli]

Fred Davis 3:15 press conference at OBD

[justasportsfan]

The bills will be running a 2 TE set. One with a blown ACL and the other a blown achilles :ill:

[Maximilli]

I think he will b fine he had the surgery , merriman got the surgery toward the end dragging it along should've got it done long time ago

[The King]

Fred Davis 3:15 press conference at OBD

Doesn't mean much.

[X-Era]

Doesn't mean much.Agreed. This has been fairly typical for FA's visiting the Bills for a few years now. Several have just visited and left without a contract.

But I hope we do sign him.

[Mr. Miyagi]

Has he met the janitor?

[Mahdi]

The bills will be running a 2 TE set. One with a blown ACL and the other a blown achilles :ill:

I heard they were going to tie Chandler's bad leg to Fred's bad lag and make one super TE. They will 3 legged hop and have four hands.

[BertSquirtgum]

This guy better be signed today.

[The King]

Let's also note: Davis had his best season with Beck and Grossman as QB.

[T-Long]

I think hearing of a meeting with media before a contract has been signed means he is at least going to visit with the Jets.

[fluteflakes]

Get this **** done OBD. We need something positive here.

[Skooby]

If he leaves, film a toilet flushing today because that'll be the only positive thing to report.

[X-Era]

I think hearing of a meeting with media before a contract has been signed means he is at least going to visit with the Jets.
IDK man. I seem to remember another FA visitor that met with the media first and then signed before leaving. I just can't remember who it was off the top of my head.

[The King]

This is a PR move... the Bills ask him to say a few nice things about the team before he leaves. That's all.

[Skooby]

Like the new toilets will be nice, please buy season tickets because we'll get better?

[BertSquirtgum]

or the meeting is to tell people he signed.

[EDS]

Was Sanchez his college QB?

[better days]

or the meeting is to tell people he signed.

I see no point to a PC unless it is to announce he is signed.

What else would they have it for? To say " I had a nice visit, now on to NJ where I will sign with the Jets."

Lots of FAs have done that in Buffalo. Didn't Stanford Routt do that last year? And that Arizona WR 2 years ago...

[X-Era]

WTF.

WGR is talking about the horrible Sabres when it's meaningless, the Bills have a FA talking to the media and they are supposed to be the Bills official station...

I hate WGR!

[better days]

I could be wrong, but I don't remember a PC called to say a player did NOT sign.

[Mahdi]

I could be wrong, but I don't remember a PC called to say a player did NOT sign.

No but they just stood up there and talked about how great the visit was and how they can fit in if they were to sign. Then they go sign elsewhere.

Happens all the time in Buffalo. Almost every visitor has a PC where the local media asks him questions.

Buffalo was a bargaining chip. He wants the Jets so he can reunite with Sanchez.

tha's like asking to get an STD

[Mr. Miyagi]

F us. We're always used and abused as leverage. We're the fat kid who takes the hot girl to the dance just so her boyfriend gets jealous.

[Bert102176]

Didn't Derrick Dockery do the same thing

[streetkings01]

Buffalo was a bargaining chip. He wants the Jets so he can reunite with Sanchez.The same Sanchez the Jets are looking to move on from but cant because of his contract?

[The King]

Washington free-agent TE Fred Davis has contract offers from Bills and Redskins in his pocket as he goes to visit N.Y. Jets.

http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2013/03/28/report-bills-give-davis-offer/

[Night Train]

As much as I like Davis, I do not wish to find out he's another TE needing lots of rehab/recovery time. Bills already have that in Chandler.

Bills need actual HEALTHY alternatives at positions of need.

[TrEd FTW]

Lots of FAs have done that in Buffalo. Didn't Stanford Routt do that last year? And that Arizona WR 2 years ago...

I still remember Maurice Morris' obligatory departure presser from a few years back. He was utterly miserable during it.

[Luisito23]

Fred Davis sucks, save your money, or burn it, I don't care.

[coastal]

Isn't he a head case?

[fluteflakes]

Isn't he a head case?

No, just a stoner.

[coastal]

No, just a stoner.
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/03/18/fred-davis-accuser-testifies-that-redskins-are-jealous-of-ravens/

he gave some chick named Chaka a fat lip for hanging with Ravens players instead of Skins' players?

the desperation at OBD is more than palbable. My problem is the Bills fans who will lap this potential signing up as a sign of progress.

trade Marshawn Lynch because we're sick of his shenanigans only to sign this clown.

this organization sucks

[The King]

Sounds like he dumped a pitcher of beer on her head. Lynch hit someone with a car.

Her fat was blocking the road.

Did you forget the process already? When they are a Buffalo Bill or thinking about joining the Bills then they are automatically a tier above their actual level. If they sign somewhere else or especially if they sign with somebody in the division they really weren't that good and it was a horrible move by the other team. It can change from one day to the other.

[BillsFever21]

I'll be fine with the signing if it's on the cheap for around 3 million a year or mostly based on incentives. Anything more then that then the move was nothing special. He's a good player but he is far from elite and also coming off a serious knee injury which should reduce his guaranteed money.

Brandon Myers who had a big year in Oakland last year received around an average of 3.5 million a year. He should be somewhere around that range. We'll see when it comes to the Bills though.

[Downinfloflo]

Who cares what these idiots do off the field.

Score touch downs and keep the other guys from scoring touch downs that's all that matters.

I could care less if they act like Mr Rodgers off the field or like Tupac.

[Bert102176]

They have done this many times though. It's basically to ask him what interests him about Buffalo, etc...

What he would say is, well the thing that interests me about buffalo is they way over paid for a certain DE last year and if I can get an obsured amount of money from them I would love to play here.

[HAMMER]

It would be nice to have a real TE since......Riemersma?

Why do you consider him a "real" TE? I think Chandler has done a great job in Buffalo.

[Bert102176]

Chandler has doone a great job imo but we have no idea when and if he will play again his knee got torn up pretty bad

[OpIv37]

Glad he got a free meal and his price bumped up by the Bills.

[Skooby]

Jets don't have anything on us.

[fluteflakes]

Jets don't have anything on us.

We have one on them. They're stuck with Sanchez.

I personally don't.. Until he gets suspended for his special brand of stupidity.

and for a team that's aching for leaders... This isn't the sort of stooge u add to the troop.

TE Fred Davis has scrapped his trip to the Jets. He has narrowed the choices to Bills and Redskins.

[BillsFever21]

Well so much for that one.
