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!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

According to the Sunday edition of the NY Post, the Buffalo Bills are definately going to place the franchise tag on cornerback Nate Clements. By doing so the former first round pick will not be able to test the free-agent market.more
The team is also likely to let receiver Josh Reed and center Trey Teague loose.
i know he is not what we thought he would be.. but i just have this awful gut feeling that he will go some where else and do well.. losman seemed to like reed and evans the most.
Good Post. I actually hope that the Bills retain Josh Reed. He seemed to develop a good rapport with JP Losman. Josh Reed seemed to progress last season as a slot receiver (Minus a couple drops at San Diego). However, I think it is time to part ways with Trey Teague. The Bills need to upgrade at the interior of their offensive line.

i could totally see reed with the fish.. kind of irritating.
Agree. I can see the same scenario.
The only thing I know is that a confident Reed will kill us...
On the other hand, it's a little late but it's great to know that Bills will franchise Clements. Right now, commited teams will be trying to find many ways to get him.

yeah.. i wouldnt expect it, but if another team offered us two first rounders for nate.. i would take it in a new york minute.
Actually Bills would not have a choice with franchise tag - that is how much it costs.
And yeah Reed appeared to be getting his mojo back and for a while was only one consistantly catching balls from both QBs AND he was blocking better than our star RB. I'd hope the Bills could sign him on a 2 or 3 deal but they will probably lose him since they NEED to rebuild the OL.
well, they could match the contract or accept the 2 firsts.. but i have never seen it happen, and dont expect that it would.
i am wondering how much josh reed would really want.. i mean, it is not like he could command much more than league minimum based on his stats.. maybe we can sign him to a 3 year 2.5 million dollar deal or something. he doesnt seem like the kind of guy that is running for the money.. he almost seems like the kind of guy that would want to prove he isnt a bust and stick around to see the ship righted.

Maybe I'm wrong but if Bills FO are only willing to get something for Nate, they can make some franchise contract changes and get only one 1st round pick as they did some years ago. Last year, if I'm not wrong Colts, Jaguars and Eagles were looking to trade their franchised players for only a 2nd round pick.

I think the Bills will do this to see if they can get a reasonable deal done with nate. If not, look for him to be traded on draft day. No way they let him play out one year then let him walk or tag him again.
Interesting in the article is they are going to let Teague walk. THANK GOD! That means Center and LG will now both definately be addressed.
