Oh well, thats that. I am not surprised, but I am not to happy w/ his decision.

[nolimit]

how many times are we going to see this posted.

[ScottLawrence]

Thats old news..... that site isn't very reliable either.

[Jan Reimers]

The pickins' are getting real slim, if we have really lost Vincent. I think we will experience a net loss in free agency.

Hopefully, better coaching an a good draft will make up for it.

[Gunzlingr]

Isn' t that another fansite?

[ScottLawrence]

Yes, it is.

[ryven]

Well whos left. Maybe we should go after bobby taylor

and Vincent, since it has not been reported by a verifiable source. When Espn, or Fox reports it, then I will believe it.

[Historian]

Donahoe was on the telethon yesterday...and openly stated that the Bills are in hot pursuit of Vincent.

:dizzy:

[Bert102176]

I really don't think we'll get him

[Voltron]

I am fairly certian Cincy has more cap room to play with as does KC unless they sign Tait soon. Doesn't bode well for us.

[ScottLawrence]

We have more room then Cincy AND KC.

So if we wanted.... we could outbid them.

Source: ESPN.com..... as of 3/4 Cincinnati was 7.7 under the cap and KC was 5.3 under.

Cincinnati matched a pretty big offer sheet for there Kicker Graham on friday and resigned there Center Rich Braham to an extension.

So I imagine that they are about 5 Million under now.

[TedMock]

It's a stop gap move anyway. I'd like to get him because it'd be nice to have a savvy vet but it's not devastating if we don't.

Did you personally see that or did someone else see it? :scratch:

That's a good question because that statement about TD hasn't been in newspapers or articles anywhere.

We are not going to "outbid" anybody. We will offer fair market value. If someone else wants to overpay- let them

If TD expects to bring in TV with a low ball offer than he is kidding himself> I guess its Mcgee or Thomas

[BAM]

McGee would do just fine I believe. I'm sure if TV doesn't sign they'll go after someone else anyways.

[ScottLawrence]

TD didn't give him a lowball offer.

I bet that Bobby Taylor will be called next. Modrak should know about him, from when he worked there.

Exactly TD probably gave him a fair value offer and he may have concidered it a low ball offer but my guess it wasn't.

How do you know this? You work at One Bills Drive??

And how do you know this???

We're all just speculating at this point. We don't know squad. We don't even know if TD gave TV an offer. Or maybe we're TV's first choice right now. Who knows.

So chill out guys. We'll know when TV signs with somebody.

[Tatonka]

this is old news.. and troy vincent hasnt made up his mind yet.. no one can show a single quote from the guy.. the only thing we konw is that he had a great visit here.. and he is trying to make up his mind.

No, I saw it personally, Mike. He was on in mid afternoon. The reason I remember it, is because I remember thinking at the time, that it was very unlike him to come out and name a player (as opposed to a position) outright.

[SABURZFAN]

we didn't need vincent anyways.
