    Anybody curious why the Bills have yet to confirm the Vincent signing?

    Just seems funny that this has been reported by numerous news outlets throughout the day, but the Bills have not confirmed it. Silence makes me start to wonder if Vincent may pull a Winfield!

      The Bills are always quiet with their dealing with players. I'm not worried nobody else has claimed to sign him yet or has he bolted from Buffalo as far as I know.

        I hear ya. I'll believe it when I hear his name in traing camp (probably because he picked off one of Bledsoe's ducks).

            Vincent's agent Linda Bodley told The Associated Press that her free-agent client agreed to a six-year deal, choosing Buffalo ahead of two other teams - Cincinnati and Kansas City - that had courted him.

            "He's relieved that he's finally made a decision," Bodley said. "And with any of the three teams he couldn't go wrong. He's very pleased."

                    Terrible PR statement. Makes him look like he flipped a coin. Should have said something like, "He felt all three teams were good choices, but Buffalo was really his first choice." I don't care if its not true but c'mon...

                      im with you kal. but then again there has to be something that made him lean toward buffalo and it had to be a lot because with kansas he had good chances to win a ring, and with the bengals hed get to play under marvin lewis and a rising team

                        Two words. bling-bling. :pimp:

                        I bet the Bills offer has some great incentive clauses that make it worth more than the other two. I mean, choosing over Cincy I can understand - they will likely revert to the Bungals this year. But KC is a very strong team - stronger than the Bills I'm afraid - and it also has a great tradition. So it had to be the money. Nothing wrong with that though...he is at the end of his career and needs to make as much as he can while he can.

                          This article gives a lot of insight on why he signed. Just help us get to the Big Game TV!

                            KC already has two solid CBs starting and were talking about using him to compete for one and the loser gets the nickel back.

                              Great article. Now we need about 5 picks from him in 2004.

                              BTW, all you guys that have said some pretty nasty things about TD sitting on his hands, how do you like the fact that the Bills contacted Vincent at 12:01 and managed to get the deal done while he was driving back from Cinci?

                              My guess is that he'll sign the deal this morning and they'll be a press conference this PM.
