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!

Originally posted by TacklingDummy Price is history after this season. Why do you think Donahoe shocked everybody and picked a WR (Reed) in round 2 this year.
I hate to say it, but that's exactly what I was thinking...Reed was drafted to take over for the departed Peerless Price next season. Let's just use Peerless as much as possible while we still got him.
God, I hate to say this, but for the (likely) five of the six best years of his NFL career, Peerless Price may be worth us paying that contract (conceding that we may drop the last year and save a couple mil). With Bledsoe and Moulds locked up and Josh Reed locked up for at least another two-three years, that may be money well spent.
it is my understandig that newman and winfield's contracts are up at the end of this year. while i believe peerless is a good receiver i would consider re-signing newman and winfield a sucessful offseason even if it meant that we couldnt re-sign price.
i dont think price wants to come back anyways. based on interviews earlier this year, i think he wants to be a #1 receiver and will move on at the end of the year. not for nothing but wr has not been a difficult position to improve on in free agency the past few years.
Not that I think Peerless's production is going to keep at this outrageous pace that he is setting, but if he is going to be paid well next year, and has better stats than the number one receiver (which he even did last year) and is seeing his name at the top of the league leaders and getting a lot of looks and balls his way and getting in the endzone and getting on national shows like Rome, the need to be a number one receiver on a team is suddenly way, way down on the priority list.
I hope we keep Price and with all the extra money we're going to have next year I don't see it as a problem. Like Donahoe said, if a player wants to stay and the Bills want them to stay, working out a contract shouldn't be a problem. Donahoe also said he has no problem paying good players and if Peerless has a probowl season, he's got a right to ask for the bigger bucks.
I know we already have Moulds and he's making big money, but if you got a great young player that you developed you can't just let them walk as soon as they hit their prime.
From what I've read recently, I think it's pretty clear that Peerless wants to stay. I don't think he needs to be the #1 guy, he just wants the same kind of respect and opportunity. I think the biggest thing the Bills have going for them right now as far as making it difficult for Peerless to leave is Drew Bledsoe and Kevin Gilbride. I read in an article today that the most important thing to Peerless is being in a good offensive system and having a good QB who can get you the ball. Gilbride has made Peerless an important part of the offense and Bledsoe treats and speaks of him as another #1 to go along with Eric. There's no question Peerless has a tremendous amount of respect for both men and from that stand point I don't think there's a more desirable situation then the one he has here in Buffalo.
We've worked hard to finally put together what could be a great offense, something we haven't had in a long time. So it would be a shame to let a young talented player go from that.
I think Peerless wants to win though, and is going to realize that if he has to play with guys like Quincy Carter or Shane Matthews that's not going to happen, and he's not going to have the same type of career.
I feel pretty confident that the Bills and Peerless Price will be able to work out a deal that is fair to both sides.
