what was said?

Re: Willis McGahee on Jim Rome in 5 minutes

he said a few things like

-He wasnt totally confident about his knee until training camp this year
-the team has faith in jp, but he just needs to calm down and adjust to gamespeed. Kelly Holcomb is doing a better job in the current stiuation so he is in control of that for now, but the team still believes JP is a quarterback that can get them into the playoffs and beyond
-Last week Willis said he was the best running back case closed because he thinks he can be the best and he believes he is the best. His college injury kept him humble and he worked hard, probably harder than he would have worked if he didn't get hurt.
-This game is a statement game for the obvious reasons. The team is aware the Patriots are going to come out fired up and play their A game.

He also talked about having something o prove against the teams that drafted him in the first round because he said some team could have taken a chance on him.

If he's sincere, that's good news for the bills. He should respect that Buffalo took that chance, and he can reciprocate with a hometown discount on his next contract.

Sorry for the reaction, but this is a Miami guy with Rosenass for an agent. The word "discount" isn't even in his vocabulary (well, he went to Miami so there are a lot of words that aren't in his vocabulary. But you get the point).

i think we have a good shot at re-signing McGahee. We'll have to pay him, but he's worth the money.

Willis or Clements? Take your pick cuz unless TD pulls off some salary cap miracle, at least one of them is gone. The good news is that Willis has at least another year left on his contract, so he'll either hold out or play for his current salary.

If we sign Clements, though, it may limit our hand for dealing with Willis the following year.

Step one: Restructure or cut Mike Williams. He's sucking up $9 million a year for nothing.

I see what you're saying but the public spin and perception has a lot to do with it.

All three parties (player, agent, team) want their main objectives met. For the player thats up front money. For the agent it's total dollar value ("You want to sign with me cause i got Peyton Maning Ten Bajillion Dollars"). The team wants a cap-flexible contract.

Those three things aren't mutually exclusive. It's all about the parties' willingness to work together and get it done.

Great post! Well, I tried, but I have to spread it around. I don't remember the last rep I gave you. I'll make it up....all 3 whopping points. lol

No he's not. Not if it's top 5 RB money anyways. Nate Clements is worth the money because he is that good. Willis is up & coming but still plays terrified of his knee...

Williams and Moulds need to restructure. If they refuse, send them packing, save a few dollars and find some serviceable replacements. Lock up McGahee and Clements. Keep the younger guys together.

Re: Willis McGahee on Jim Rome in 5 minutes

Jam, do you really see Clements & McGahee as on the same level? I understand that a stud RB is more valuable then a stud CB, but Willis has a long ways to go + Clements is already there.. Watch Willis sunday night. I'm betting he gets shut down hard.

I just got my butt kicked for being a southern racist because I made the same point.

Cut his ass, he is the biggest and I mean the biggest pussy the NFL has to offer. Every damn game this fat hucker gets hurt. I hate him and he is questionable again this week and didnt practice again today. Passes on Mckinney for his ass, nice move Donahoe

Yeah well, I don't see Williams going as TD has too much pride to cut his fourth overall pick. I agree that Williams needs to be making a max of 2 million a year as he is not worth more than that. We could cut his ass and get almost as good a play from Jerman for god sakes and have more scratch to sign other quality players.
