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

Having defined the cost of freedom, with a price tag set at $465,000, Cleveland Browns starting left offensive tackle Ross Verba was officially released Thursday afternoon.
Verba, 31, is now a free agent and free to sign with another club. Among the teams that are likely to be most interested in him are the Houston Texans, Buffalo Bills, Arizona Cardinals and Kansas City Chiefs. Condon has said that, assuming there are multiple teams interested in his client, Verba may want to visit with coaches and club officials before making a decision on his future.
I know the Cards have a ton of cap room, but they have Leonard Davis.

wow...Verba would definately put this team into serious contention this year. If we can afford him somehow (Ok Mike Williams...its time to take one for the team buddy);
I would be elated. I would seriously jump up from my desk and dance a jig.
Here's hoping......but not expecting....

I am not sure any team will pay him that type of money.
Exactly. What he wants and what the market dictates that he will receive are two very different things. The market is very depressed right now, with only 5 or so teams looking at him.

He'd be a great addition but I'm guessing that someone will offer him more $$ than we are willing to part ways with. That plus the fact that Peters can play Tackle, QB, Punter, Tailback, etc...
Peters is still a project and in no way could even hold Verba’s Jock Strap. I like the kid but he is by no means ready to be an elite Left Tackle. I am sure some team will offer him more than we will. TD just doesn’t over pay like a majority of the other teams out there.

although i think he would make a very fine addition to our team and would be on paper an upgrade over what we have at LT. these comments concern me.

Mary Kay Cabot, of the Plain Dealer, reports free agent OT Ross Verba said he plans to start making visits to teams next week. He said his agent, Tom Condon, told him that 10 teams have already called to express interest. He wouldn't reveal which ones, but did name a few he'd like to play for. "I'm interested mostly in the teams that need tackles," he said. "I'd like to play for San Diego, Houston, Buffalo, Chicago, Kansas City, San Francisco, someone like that." Verba said he will tell teams not to all unless they will be offering a big, multiyear contract. When asked how big, Verba replied, "$35 million." "If I don't get what I want, I'll walk away from the game and hold my head up high."
sure 35 mil over 10 years lol i m kidding but i see no way he signs with us at a 7 mil on avg a year cap number i think hes a 3-4 mil a year player thats about it
Wait, this guy's full of crap! The Bills don't need a LT!
Sorry, I'd love to have him 3years 10 mil with a 2mil bonus but that's about it.
The Bills won't show any interest.
Any GM can sign a guy like Verba, but to pluck a starting LT (Gandy) off the trash heap right out from under every other GMs nose would prove TD is a genius. TD doesn't want to give up that opportunity.

So they can have Verba and the Bills can pick up Leonard after Arizona cuts him.

Exactly. He's got to aim high knowing he'll have to come off his price. He'll most likely weigh the highest offers and take one that fairly compensates him and gives him the chance to be on a contender.
