Winfield Contract Update 8/6 (Fired agent and new one to meet with TD)

I know this article was on the front page but I was suprised no one brought up this one line in the article.


Winfield, who is entering the final year of his contract (his agent is scheduled to meet with Donahoe this week to discuss a possible extension), has always been a guy whose feistiness overshadowed his lack of size.

I really hope this contract goes down. It is good to see that the two sides are trying to work things out. Maybe by the end of this week something will be done.

im sure we didn't use that 4 or 5 mil that we have for a reason... why else would TD just keep it.. i bet we get a deal done before the season and lock him up for another 5 years or something :D

Let me check my cap page....................








Yep, it all adds up :)

[Michael82]

WNSA reported that Antoine Winfield fired his old agent and has a new one, who is currently in Rochester with TD. :D

Apparently, Winfield was also quoted as saying...he has no problems with re-signing with the Bills before he has a chance to test the market. :up:

Winfield Agent To Meet With Donahoe
Wednesday 8/6
WNSA/Empire Sports' Howard Simon was at Bills training camp today and spoke with cornerback Antoine Winfield who is entering the final year of his contract with the team. Winfield told Simon that he had fired his agent and hired new representation that will meet with Bills' president and general manager Tom Donahoe next week. Winfield went on to tell Simon that he doesn't want to test the market and that if the numbers were right he would happily sign an extension.

Thanks Mike!!



Winfield fired him cuz obviously he wanted a deal done!

[Dozerdog]

I think because the FA market will be flooded with top CB talent next season, Winfield might think the shoe's on the other foot. He wants to be locked up with an up- and coming team rather than replaced with a cheaper alternative.

He could easily wind up scrambling to play for a Cincy or Arizona next season.


TD is the man!

Dre' Bly got 5 yrs- $24.5 million with $6.5 million signing bonus from the Lions.

Guess what..........he'll get more

[justasportsfan]

I hope his new agent isn't Rosenhous. If it is someone grab Winfield's cell phone.

Rosenhaus usually represents players that are from Florida schools, especially Miami Hurricanes, but he also represents Jevon Kearse who went to school at Florida
