that is music to my ears..... brady better be ready for some payback

[don137]

I wonder if it is a multi-year or a one year deal...Nice work TD...If we can sustain a pass rush this defense is going to be tough...I just hope Milloy picks up the defense quickly...

[ArcticWildMan]

Mike Florio...doesn't he run NFLTalk.com?

profootballtalk.com


The rumor site.

[Dozerdog]

I would be very concerned if WGR is geting their news from there. My ESPN vigil remains.

[Schobel94]

MARRY ME TD!!! I WANT TO HAVE YOUR CHILD!!!

lol, I like this for many reasons:

1. obviously great player in an area of need
2. he knows the playbook!
3. psycological impact on Pats

YAY!

[ArcticWildMan]

If/when this does happen, it pretty much tells the rest of the league that Buffalo is the team to reckon with from the AFC :D

[The_Philster]

This is beyond great news!!! :clap:

Um, In Brian's thread I gave the link to Mike Florio's report already. It's on page ten.

[Ebenezer]

I know it's all rumor but this is as close as we have to a signing. I'll be back later.

[ArcticWildMan]

That is most likely where Brian got his info from. Florio does occasionally get lucky and turn up information before anybody else does.

[Gunzlingr]

I wonder if he can play DE? :eek:

I will still wait until a reliable news source reports this. I have been disappointed before.

Sorry...never got to post 138 in that thread...

[Michael82]

This is great news if true! I stand by my belief that Tom Donahoe will have a deal in place and signed by tomorrow in the afternoon at the latest!!! :D

I think most importantly he knows the Pats playbook :up:

first thing i did when i got home today was check to see where lawyer went and then...:hitself:

TD is a freakin animal.
Make it happen.

BILLS MAY NEED A LAWYER FOR PATRIOTS OPENER

The Bills home opener against the New England Patriots Sunday at sold out Ralph Wilson Stadium hardly needs any more hype, but here it comes anyway with word the Bills just might be able to sign four-time Pro Bowl strong safety Lawyer Milloy in time for Sunday's game.

The Patriots were forced to release the 29-year old Milloy on Tuesday when Milloy refused to take a pay cut from the $4.5 million he was scheduled to make this season. Milloy was to count $5.85 million against the Pats salary cap, stretched to the limit by the signing of nose tackle Ted Washington.

ESPN.com reports the Bills have already made a contract proposal to Milloy's agent, Carl Poston, who is reportedly fielding offers from other NFL teams as well.

The Bills won't comment on the reports, but suffice to say if GM Tom Donahoe can pull this one off, the Bills already much improved defense would get even better.

Drew Bledsoe, who played with Milloy in New England, has reportedly lobbied hard for the Bills to sign the hard hitting strong safety who is also known as a solid clubhouse leader.

[BillsOverDolphins]

I'm creaming my pants at the thought of this

[RedEyE]

He isn't going to come cheap. And even if he does sign this week, who's to say he'll even play on Sunday?

He doesn't even need to play against them...his contributions, on or off the field, will be invaluable

[cordog]

This is the greatest b-day present ever!!!!

[Demon]

I wouldn't be suprised if it's true. WGR usually have better sources then WNSA and reports news quicker even though most people like wnsa more. I just wish WGR would have a listen live link on their site cuz i can't get their signal from my house.

But i do in my car which makes the car ride to and from school that much better.

[BillsOverDolphins]

If we do in fact sign him, than there will be a TD Shrine under construction in my house

[The Spaz]

Sporting News radio has just stated that they are starting to hear reports that the Buffalo Bills have signed Lawyer Malloy. It is not confirmed as of yet but they have started to hear that he has, more details to follow!:)

[BillsOverDolphins]

keep us up to date spaz!...im about to crack open some champagne when he signs...even if it's a t midnight!

[Gunzlingr]

[LtBillsFan66]

Looks like Brian H was right once again!

[The Spaz]

Yeah sure like all the other sources who have been reporting it all day as well!

[BillsOverDolphins]

damnit...I can't go to bed without a confirmation of this

Yup! Does Brian know who will get cut to make room for Malloy?

60,000 listeners can't be wrong!

According to Brian H and his sources, he says Reese.

With the signing of Milloy Reese may be as good as gone I'm hearing now......

[The Spaz]

I'm pretty sure we want 4 safeties on our roster. Cut Lauvale Sape!

[LtBillsFan66]

That's a conservative estimate for sure. Given the production and content quality, I would guess it's more like 100,000!

[The Spaz]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Do you dare doubt Brian H? He's been right all the time so far!

[The Spaz]

Ohh don't sound like everybody should be scared of someone who can't even talk on the radio! I doubt Reese gets cut he can play both SS and FS as can Prioleau.

Sounds like sour grapes.

Why were you fired anyway?

[dates74]

they can't cut Reese. I think they'll cut Josh Stamer. move him to the practice squad and release Richard Seals.

[The Spaz]

I was fired wow I didn't know I got benefits and pay!

[LtBillsFan66]

I wish the Bills would put this acquisition to bed...so I can do the same…and dream of Lombardi Trophies dancing in my head.

It is before midnight. Your name is an oxymoron if you want to go to bed before midnight

:chuckle:

[The Spaz]

In Buffalo, he would be reunited with former New England quarterback Drew Bledsoe, who urged Bills officials to sign Milloy, and who spoke with the safety by phone a few times on Tuesday. There is also the specter of being able to play the Patriots twice yearly, an obvious revenge element. Bledsoe, who is being counted on to demonstrate his skills as a recruiter, figures to be Buffalo's big plus. The Bills want more big plays from their safeties and their current starters, Pierson Prioleau and Coy Wire, combined for zero interceptions in 2002.

Every "Reputable" source has said that the Redskins and the Vikings are still in the mix. Lets not count shiny chickens before they hatch ;)

[The Spaz]

WNSA said that the Redskins are out of the race!

[Ebenezer]

At some point I will get some sleep...the all night vigil will continue with somebody else. The longer it goes on...

[muestafa1]

One of the Saints' players said Tuesday night that Milloy had hinted he favored the Redskins but wanted more time to consider his decision.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=pasquarelli_len&id=1608029

[The Spaz]

"We'd sign him right now and play him on Sunday," said Buffalo team president Tom Donahoe. "We've made it clear that we want him here." If TD wants him then it will happen!:)

[muestafa1]

Way too much stress!

How much aspirin do you take if you think you're having a heart attack?

:hitself:

[The Spaz]

Not sure but be sure to read the bottle for proper info.!:)

[bernielivsey_1]

We still might have a DE problem. But this helps.

[bernielivsey_1]

If we sign him we might not have room to sign Winfield. Not to be a downer.

[Shiny Chicken]

All I know is that if he signs with the :angry:ing Redskins, I'm gonna :angry:ing kill!!

[mackey789]

hes a Bill i guarantee it, we will be the hands down choice to represent the afc in the superbowl this year is we really do sign him........i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BuffaloRanger]

It's only 3:15 PM where I am. I can follow this all day.

[Shiny Chicken]

where are you, dude??

[TypicalBill]

Several NFL voices erupted with strong reactions yesterday over word that the Patriots released four-time All-Pro safety and three-year captain Lawyer Milloy after a financial dispute, and CBS' Boomer Esiason declared it would be no surprise if he wound up with the Bills, the Pats' season-opening foe Sunday.

You almost have to wonder what Belicek is thinking sometimes. Hes pulled stunts like this before...and not just in New England.

This would really tip the balance of power in the division towards Buffalo. Possibly the entire AFC.

In a related story...

Isnt it nice to see someone else have salary cap woes??? I was just discussing this topic with my Dad on Monday. Why is it that the fish, and cowpukes, and a few other "media darlings" never have to gut their team due to the cap, yet constantly sign players from other teams???

It looks like the good guys are going to win one for a change.

[TypicalBill]

If we sign him, AWESOME!! .... if we dont, it means we didn't overpay.


Its that simple... It's not like we have to sign him or we're doomed... i look at it as a win-win situation.

I mean, 2 days ago, we really liked our team heading into the season.

i dont remember TD ever talking to the media about interest in a player before. It shows that we're interested bigtime! so he'll make the best offer possible... but if a team like the Redskins offer more and Milloy accepts it, they can have him. 1) The Pats secondary is weaker 2) He's not in the AFC/E 3) We didn't overpay.

Ill drink to that :beers:

[Lone Stranger]

Florio is hardly the most reliable of sources. He's known to be wrong in the past. The Redskins seem to offering the most money and that may be the primary enticement.

[The Spaz]

LOL!:) Jim Brinson was calling gas stationsand local doughnut shops this morning in Massachusettes and was asking them if they miss Lawyer Milloy and a few people who he called were saying " who, what, who is Lawyer Milloy". Then they hung up becasue they thought it was a prank LMAO!:)

He cut local legend Bernie Kosar MID SEASON in Cleveland-

I be the bad blood and backlash from the fans cost Modell the new stadium he coveted, and eventually precipitated the move to Baltimore.
