    Bills tender contracts to free agents!

    Bills Tender Contracts To Free Agents

    With the free agency period set to begin on Friday, March 3, the first order of business for General Manager/Football Operations Marv Levy is to begin the process of exercising their option to make contract offers to their young players, who in effect remain tied to the team.

    By tendering offers on the team's Restricted Free Agents (RFA) - a player who just finished his third season in the league and his contract is about to expire - the Bills will be given draft-round compensation should the players sign elsewhere.

    Players with two or fewer years of experience who have no outside negotiating power are considered Exclusive-Rights Free Agents (EFA). Their rights belong to their club provided they are made a minimum qualifying offer.

    Restricted Free Agents Tendered
    Name Position Round Drafted
    Sam Aiken WR 4th Round (2003)
    Mario Haggan LB 7th Round (2003)
    Josh Stamer LB Undrafted

    Exclusive Rights Players Tendered
    Name Position Round Drafted
    Jabari Greer CB Undrafted
    Jason Peters OL Undrafted
    Jonathan Smith WR 7th Round (2004)
    Shaud Williams RB Undrafted

        The only one I really don't like is Shaud Williams. I don't understand he seems to small to me and didn't really do all that much last year. I like gates better.

          they are tendered...no big deal. they bring them to camp and if they don't work out then they are cut with no hit on the cap...

            And the good thing about all these players if the CBA isn't extended is that they will all be RFA's again next year.

                  um.. gates did nothing either.. so how can you like him over williams?

                  willis didnt do anything at all, but we expect shaud too?

                  there is nothing wrong with williams being on this team.

                    does anyone know what kind of tender they made for these guys? dont you tender them with a certain amount that is equivelent to the draft pick you would get if someone else signed them?

                        I haven't seen that yet but it should be out soon. The numbers are out on what those tenders will be. Clump was showing me them last night. I don't know if he started a thread or not. Tendering a player for a 1st and 3rd is over $2mil. Tendering for a 1st is around $1.5. The other was in the $755K range. It is interesting. McGee's contract put him right where he would have been for the 1st and 3rd round tender. Crowell's contract puts him right around the 1st round tender. Not bad actually.

                            I really like what Marv is doing so far, but I just hope Moulds will put the team 1st instead of being a money hungry ass wipe

                              I really just think Moulds wants to go to a place like Denver who will be a contender....maybe. In today's NFL, you never know.
