    more specualtion that Ruben may not be back with the BILLS

    and "he said that it doesn't look good" the BILLS want him to take a hefty pay cut he didn't say how much but he did say that would be alot less than what he was making last yr. He went on to say that Ruben said "he'll take a paycut to stay in Buffalo and that he loves the city of Buffalo and the people that live here and the fans that come to the game every Sunday". Then his agent said this "as his agent I wouldn't allow him to take that much of a pay cut and that he thinks that the BILLS are blackballing him". BYE BYE Ruben

    Looks like Reimersma all over again. Well maybe someone else will pick him up.

        HE wouldn't allow Ruben to take the pay cut? What a joke! If he wants to stay here he should fire the guy and do what he wants to do. I thought he said it's not about the money anymore for him.

          Hey Bills Champ all of your supposed breaking news have been BS. I'll take this with a grain of salt as well. You propbably just posted half truths like your original Ruben Brown story.

            Why would you ask your Best Lineman to take a half paycut. I think instead of his agent he will probably fire the Team, if this is true.

                    I dont see many Pro Bowlers taking massive pay cuts like what's being reported here. He didn't put the team in salary cap hell. Thats a Front Office Issue from past years.

                        And you know about every pay cut that players around the league are being asked to take?

                        Who said it was his fault? We can't afford to pay him that ridiculous contract that Butler gave him. It's a pay cut (which he agreed to take) or chances are he could be gone.

                          He said he would take a paycut... not have his throat cut.

                          He isn't the only high paid player on offense.. Maybe Bledsoe should have been the first asked to take a paycut.. and Moulds second.

                          Because he isn't playing a skill position doesn't make his value to the team any less.. Especially if the team is going to be run first.

                          He earned his pay.

                            It's not like he's the only one being asked to take a pay but...but he has to take it soon because of the roster bonus that he is due to receive in a few days.
