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

I'm not faulting wys on this ... just a general statement about the board. I think that we're getting way ahead of ourselves on this. With an injured player like McGahee, there isn't the usual necessity/emphasis on both parts to have the player signed by camp - McGahee can't participate anyway (regardless of what Drew says).
I wouldn't be suprised (nor concerned) if McGahee doesn't sign until after camp. At this time, Donahoe will have more time on his hands to devote to the negotiations and I think things will get done.
I am just afraid that if it takes too long, we may find ourselves in trouble. If Henry has fumbilitus (sp?) early on in the season, McGahee will have more bargining power.
Originally posted by HenryRules I believe the date in November is only so that he is eligible to play this season. We can still sign him after that, but won't be able to play him.
Not really, from what ive read... if we dont sign him by that date in November, he can enter the draft period..its not about playing him this year or not.
No he has to sign in November or else he can go back in the draft next year. If you remember the Chargers almost lost Quentin Jammer last year because of this.
He'll be signed before year end and I'm not that concerned. The longer he goes unsigned the longer he re-habs and stays away from pounding on it. That's fine with me.
I don't know how accurate this calendar is ... but it only states that the rookie will not be eligible to play for the season ... no comment about losing the rights.
I really don't think that TD will let a first round pick go unsigned allowing him to re-enter the draft. Espically after he worked so hard to get that pick from Atlanta for Price. As much as TD values draft picks, I would be really suprised if this happens.
Thanks! BTW, I'm not overly concerned. I figure we'll sign him. But, you never know, if Henry plays well up front, McGahee and DR may start eyeing reality and seeing the dubious "starting RB situation" that's bound to exist next season and he may take his chances on getting drafted quite a bit higher next year therefore commanding bigger bucks. I don't think any of us would argue that if he "reenters" the draft next season, that he'd easiliy be i the top 10, and quite possibly among the top 5 as many predicted for this year had he not gotten injured. Teams like Cincy, Houston, N.E., Detroit, T.B., Jax, Skins, etal. may jump at the opp to get him.
So, while I wasn't thinking about all this when I asked the question as it was more a question of what McG's options were, I still see that perhaps it would in fact pay McGahee to wait, not sign unless he gets "top 5" bucks, and then reenter so that he does. If you think about it, I'm not really sure who has the leverage here. I'm leaning towards McGahee and if I were him, I'd think good and long about signing here if I could triple my contract and get twice or three times the bonus by waiting.
Originally posted by Pride Of course, McGahee needs to consider... who wants a RB who:
1. Hasn't played in 2 years
2. Never played a down in the NFL
3. Has an agent like Drew R.
And one who's been significantly hurt in each of the last three season's he's played in!!!
Replace Donahoe with Modrak and fire the entire coaching staff!
