    All the sports analysts seem to think Atlanta got the better deal

    From what little I've seen on ESPN and around the web, most analysts are saying Atlanta got the better deal with the Price trade.


    I like what they did. They got a player that is proven in exchange for a draft pick.

    I think a team is better served with a proven player over a draft pick any day.


    Before the lynch mob forms....My hat is still off to TD....it was obvious that Peerless wasn't in our plans and he got us a draft pick instead of just letting Peerless walk.

    Better deal than what??? Another GM could have very easily let him sign elsewhere with NO compensation!!

    Analysts... what a bunch of morons...

      Well...don't forget the world is in love with Vick as it is, so anything that gives them a reason to talk about him is good.

      I think Atlanta made a solid trade. The one thing that drives me nuts is that we aren't getting any recognition for it.

        I'm not going to 2nd guess this. Peerless didn't want to stay in Buffalo, and let's face it Buffalo really didn't want to pay him 5.5 for the year. Not to mention the fact that we really don't need him. Once the Takeo deal is finalized ( ) it will all be worth it. IMO, this is great move and TD is doing the best for the team. Really, both teams made out.

          I heard one guy (forgot his name), say that Atlanta has to be considered a front runner for the SB!!!

          I almost choked on my beer when I heard that!! Talk about jumping the gun!!

            John Clayton was clear: "Bills had a good day!"

            We got a #1 pick for a player that WAS NOT GONNA RE-SIGN.

              They're DBs are horrible and they have no speed on their DL. I do think that the offense will produce considerably.

                  I agree - I think both teams got what they wanted here, at least on paper... Good deal all around.

                  Of course it remains to be seen if PP can hold his own as a #1 - I tend to think Atlanta's going to be disappointed, especially for the kind of money they're paying him, but only time will tell.

                  It's funny how only a week ago Falcon fans were badmouthing Price, and now all of a sudden they're saying the offense will rival the Rams from a couple years back... LMAO...

                    Both teams did very well. As much as we like Price we need defensive help. TD was smart enough to tag Peerless and get something for him. Arizona could of done the same thing with David Boston but didn't. Arizona got nothing for Boston and ended up getting nothing. Even though Peerless was not in our plans since we couldn't pump more money into the offense with our defense hurting the Bills got something for him. I'd say that is pretty good.

                        Look what Arizona got for David Boston who is better then Price..... NOTHING.

                        Getting rid of Price basicially gives us a very good oppertunity of signing Sam Adams and Takeo Spikes and having money left over to sign a player like Thompson or Ismael and we get a 1st round pick with it! I dont see how anybody can say this was a bad move for Buffalo.

                        I liked Price i admit, but don't you think its a little bit funny that he had a career year in his contract year and was a bust the seasons before? Not to mention all of the bad penalties he took.

                          I agree 100% Demon. The "analysts" Fail to take that into consideration I guess.

                            Where are all those Donahoe Doubters now?
                            Someone said "What's he gonna turn out like?" Ha!
                            And someone else said "Never mind!"

                              I think that price will have an ok year concidering that Finneran isn't anywhere near the caliber of a moulds to draw attention away from price. Go Bills!
