Re: Looks like Nelson is not going to be tendered
Our best slot receiver/great find not being tendered by the Bills? The guy who can run routes and has the size/ability to do top 3 talent on any National Football League team won't be tendered by the Buffalo Bills?
Here's my astonished face.
Seriously, this is a straw for me. It's not the final straw, but if you can get some legit information on this and prove it, then damn... I have plenty of reasons to be pissed. And please, anyone who wants to say "zomg not a big deal", Nelson is a great player. Please jump stats on me after he missed an entire season and is readily chomping at the bit to get back on the roster. He is almost always open.Bye Bye Brady...

Re: Looks like Nelson is not going to be tendered
Nelson fit Gaileys system........Marrone may not see him as a fit. I believe TJ Graham is the only WR on the roster drafted by the Bills higher then 7th. Hopefully this means we'll add a FA WR and rookie to come in and compete. My guess is Nelson ends up a Patriot since The Hoodie wanted to sign him as a RUFA a couple years back.You can call me streetkings

But I wouldn't be shocked if we re-signed him to the vet minimum shortly after free agency begins.
The Buffalo Bills are not expected to tender restricted free-agent WR David Nelson (knee), who missed all but one game last season due to a knee injury. Nelson is expected to be healthy, but a tender offer would be $1.3 million, and the team is struggling with the salary cap.
MORE
Good route runner, finds soft spots in coverage, and converted some important first downs when healthy.
Definitely a step up from most of the scrubs on our roster.
Not a deal breaker if he goes though. Either way.Last edited by JoeMama; 02-22-2013, 07:54 PM.Disclaimer: The sentiment expressed in this post is strictly for entertainment purposes only.

Re: Looks like Nelson is not going to be tendered
If you read between the lines after seeing the team not tender nelson (if jason cole's report is true) or Jones it would tell you the team is more than likely drafting a receiver very high and are probably going to be major players in FA after at least one top tier receiver.

Apparently having $20 million in free cap space constitutes cap hell now. If that's cap hell, I'll have some more please.Disclaimer: The sentiment expressed in this post is strictly for entertainment purposes only.

Re: Looks like Nelson is not going to be tendered
Originally posted by IlluminatusUIUC View PostI like him, and I think they should at least toss the right of first refusal tender on him. At least they'd know what his market value was before he's signed off.
I like Nelson, and he has proven to be an effective slot receiver, especially in the red zone. Hopefully they end up working something out.YardRat Wall of Fame
