Tyson Clabo about to be released...

[X-Era]

Will we make a second run at him?

My guess is that ship has sailed but the prior history makes it interesting.

He would be a HUGE upgrade at RT.

With Hairston and Pears at RT... I don't see it happening.

Atlanta would fight hard to try and get him back.

It would and his base is 4.5... I'm thinking 4-5 per for him would be a decent signing.

This issue is the Bills. We extended Pears already and seem to like him. Were deep at OT (in our minds and based on Nix's phone convo), and may be petty about him dissing us.

The only thing that's changed about Buffalo is the head coach. Unless Marrone could convince him where Gailey failed, I don't see why he'd want to sign with us now when he didn't last time.

Or, we were 2nd on his list and his top choice just cut him...

Who knows how he would look at it.

Where are we cap wise with the Kolb signing? I recall the bills saying the are looking to extend some of it's players maybe before camp?

Recent numbers look like 16.3 but that's without Kolb and theres no official word if Kolb even has actually been signed at this point.

That does include Branch.

I'm not convinced we were on his list at all. He comes to Buffalo, gets wined and dined until his team makes a realistic offer and then he leaves us in the lurch immediately.

Possible.

My only point is that we don't know what really happened. What we do know is that Nix felt he decided on Atlanta but that we were very much in the mix.

Re: Tyson Clabo about to be released...

He's no better than Pears or Hairston. Why go after him?

How much of that $16.3 do we need to reserve for rookies?

Disagree. I think he's significantly better and more proven than both.

5.5 is the estimate I've seen.

Probably $5.5M.
