Why do people say Peerless wants to leave?

[HenryRules]

I've heard lots of people on this board say that Price is selfish, doesn't care about the team, and wants to leave Buffalo.

I just saw/heard him on tv in a locker-room interview where he stated something along the lines of, "I've said all along I'll take less to stay here ... not substantially less of course though".

What's wrong with that? Sounds to me like he wants to commit and help the Bills win, he just doesn't want to lose lots of money in the process. Sounds reasonable to me.

He said that at least 10 times this season. I hope we can keep him!

I was going to say the same thing.

It's the Buffalo thing to do, bash the players that you root for.
Peerless Price made as many big plays this year and Andre Reed used too. This guy has to stay somehow. We can find a cheap TE.
Then we fill the defense up.

Do you want to stay here?

"I've said all along that I want be back. That's my first choice. I don't want to go someplace and get used to a whole new group of guys and try to meet new friends. I would love to come back."

The Bills can't afford to pay him "not substantially less" than his market value, which will at least be $4M a year with a $8M signing bonus. I just saw him make a ton of boneheaded penalties and bad plays to justify paying him that much money. Might as well get David Boston for a little more in that case.

Don't listen to :angry:ing hear-say or media......

just wait for a live interview, or espn, or nfl.com, to SEE that he says..."F the bills, I'm on the market" or not.

I'll bet anyone on this board that P.Price is with us in 2003!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry: yeah!!!!!!!!

c'mon baybay!!!!!!!

[mybills]

Ya know what, this same infantile routine happened last year.

I appologize now for putting such *****y posts, but jeez...open yer eyes peeps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will try to empathise till the draft, but?????????????

It's not that we don't want to keep him! I just don't think you can justify tying up huge cap #'s in one posisiton. We can not get into cap hell again. He will get a 4-5 mill offer from some team needing a WR and we should not match that.

Reed should be able to double his output from this season if he is a starter which would put him about 70 catches. Moulds can put up another 100+ and if we use the TE more we will be fine on O.

[LtBillsFan66]

I like the quote that says that Moulds told him to shut up.


Moulds words of wisdom:

"It's been tough. I have been talking to him all week about all the different situations, Atlanta and Washington have both shown interest in him. It's fine if the teams want you but at the same time this team gives him the first opportunity to succeed. I was in the same situation a couple of years ago. I had to make a decision whether or not to stay or leave. I realized that if I stayed I would have the opportunity to be part of something special in finishing my career with the team that drafted me. Now he has to make that same decision. I hope he will make the right decision and come back to our team. I am not going to pressure him to make that decision, like a lot of other people are doing. He should make the decision to come back to be part of something special with him, Josh and myself. It's a tough decision to make and right now he is just weighing his options."

that's true, the ****ing office has no head....

they are stupid to give up 1 of the 2.......

I can't say anymore about it HEAD WISE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BillsMan80]

We have a TE already in Dave Moore, except Gilbride neglects to use him enough. Dump Riemersma, and use that money for Peerless.

If some team offers a huge contract is would be stupid of the FO to match. It all really is going to come down to how much interest in him there is. I think there will be a lot which will drive up his price. We can not afford two top paid WR. We just can't. It will hurt us in too many other areas.
