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

For now, trading for Drew Henson remains a possibility for the Bills. But the more Buffalo explores ways to acquire Henson from the Texans, the more difficult a deal appears.
Bills general manager Tom Donahoe acknowledged to ESPN.com over the weekend that while the team is still intrigued by the potential of the former University of Michigan quarterback, its chances of reaching an agreement are fading.

Buffalo explores a swap to acquire Henson from the Texans, the more difficult a deal appears.

You know this guy is really starting to P me off. What does he justify that he can have 1st round money? I have to say I liked the prospect of getting Henson for a 3rd or 2nd rounder next year and a very friendly, incentive based contract, but if this guy wants big time money forget it. I also hear he wants to make back the money he gave up for baseball. Nobody told you to quit baseball. Someone please give this kid a dose of reality. I see the Bills going after someone else in the 3rd round now.
It's not just that, TheGhostofJimKelly....it's also the fact that the Bills don't want to pony up what the Texans are looking for. If they did...Henson would have came here last week to do a special workout and evaluation with the Bills staff.

I don't think that's the case at all.
Henson isn't in Buffalo because of his contract demands. Why bring him in if he's not budging?
According to the article, the Texan's price is moot at this point, and TD is actually in agreement (with some tweaks) on the Texan's compensation.
The Texans, who used a sixth-round pick in the 2003 draft to secure Henson's rights for the express purpose of trading him, have laid out conditions for a deal.
Casserly is said to be seeking a second-round choice in the 2005 draft. Or he would accept a conditional third-round choice that could eventually escalate to a first-round pick. If Henson reached thresholds to trigger the second scenario, the Texans would take the first-rounder and then give back a second-round pick to the franchise that acquired Henson.
Donahoe termed the Houston asking price as "reasonable," but indicated he might not be prepared to precisely match Casserly's conditions. "Everything is moot, though, until someone shows me a way to handle the contract," Donahoe said.
Well, you would have to compare him to who's out there -
Eli, Big Ben look like top 10 picks
Rivers, Loseman - seem to be solid to be taken late 1, no later than 2
I think Henson will be the 5th to 6th QB taken. If you are the Steelers, and know Henson already expects to be paid huge dollars, would you pick him and want a contract hold out on your hands?
The contract demands alone will drop him 2-3 spots among QBs.
It's henson's agents who are doing thir job of trying to get the most money for their client. They may be asking for too much money but hey i knew they would ...agents always ask for too much the question is will they lower thier demands to a more reasonable level so a deal can get done ....Second or thrid round money seems fair to me ...l

That's where he will be drafted. If he wants to go to a team of his choice- sign the Texan's contract for the $250K
Originally posted by The Natrix I hope Henson's unreal demands get him drafted by the Cardinals in the 4th round, and he plays for peanuts where no one will care about him..
I think that is a very strong possibility.
It will be a race on who gets drafted first- Clarett or Henson.
