Bills "still in the mix" for Vincent

[Romes]

MONDAY UPDATE: The Bengals are expected to get a counter proposal Tuesday from the agent for Eagles CB Troy Vincent, but Vincent is still going ahead on a visit to Kansas City. Linda Bodley said of the Bengals' offer, "It's something to work with," and while her client has the old Philadelphia connections with Bengals defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier, the Bills also seem to be in the mix. . .

The Panthers were supposed to be one of the teams interested in Vincent, but it hasn't happened yet. In fact, The Charlotte Observer reported that former Bengals cornerback Artrell Hawkins visited the Panthers Monday night after getting an offer from Pittsburgh. . .



Good news i think for those that wanted him. Sounds like the options for him are KC, Cinci and Buffalo.

I wouldn't throw the towel in on getting Vincent just yet. If his agent says we are still in the mix must mean TD is still working on it and we still have a chance to get him.

I don't think we'll offer him enough. TD seems to be looking for "blue light" specials this off season.

How much money do we have to spend? Are going to throw a few million in to help?

I remember this from last year w/Spikes too, but Bengals.com seems to have more breaking news stories and updates than espn. I wish bb.com would be more like this other official site.

I know we don't have a ton of cap money, but we're far from being in cap Hell. As of today, we've lost far more in free agency than we've gained. I'm waiting - I admit, not too patiently - for a few signings to get us back toward even.

It's all about the signing bonuses some of these guys want.

I might be getting a promotion to another department at work. I think I'm going to demand a signing bonus and wait to see the look on their faces. :snicker:

i'm not worried about us not signing anybody else just yet.they just better roll out the red carpet when bober gets here.

I agree w/ Jan Reimsma, in that we are going after "blue light" specials, and I reallly think that this is the smart thing to do. Vincent would be nice, and would be a quick fix to filling a hole which we recently lost, but the truth is, TV is asking more than what we want to give.

I've also read that Vincent wants a chance to play for Carolina. Buffalo needs to either pony up a ton of $$ or start looking for other options, which there aren't many left in the FA market, unless we can lure Bobby Taylor somehow.

I agree about Bober! They better show him the money to fix the line and cut Teague. :D

[Jan Reimers]

Bober, Bruener and Bobby (Taylor) - Beautiful.

John Clayton said Vincent's decision will be made today.

We'll see.

he won't come to Buffalo cause TD is an idiot I think he took a stupid pill just before FA started this year and the effects haven't worn off yet

He's an idiot because he won't overpay for a 33 year old CB? :rofl:

[Bert102176]

no he's an idiot for not going after Springs, it doesn't look to me as if he is going after D. Jackson, he didn't have Meadows come to town for an interview, it looks to me that besides Chris Villerial he is looking at players that arent that great IMO.

He's looking at players who can help the team at the right price. I would rather sign a bunch of average to good players then spend all my money on one great player and have him get hurt then were ****ed.

Also I beleive Shawn Springs has played a whole season since like 2000.

[BAM]

I think he has been hurt an awful lot of late. Not worth the beaucoup bucks he got from Dan 'Moneybags" Snyder IMO
