McGahee states his case for a starting job with Bills

**The_Philster** · 08-21-2004, 04:49 AM

Still think the Buffalo Bills don't have a running back controversy on their hands?

A week after Travis Henry said he would ask to be traded if he was supplanted as the team's No. 1 running back by Willis McGahee, McGahee has asked the team to trade him if he's not the Bills starter on opening day, according to a report from The Associated Press.

The AP report on Friday added that McGahee has not issued an ultimatum, but he has made it clear to the club he won't be happy backing up Henry, the incumbent who is coming off back-to-back 1,300-yard seasons....more

I can't believe they're still buying into it

If any of this is true then we have some serious character issues! I wish both would worry more about the team winning games and making the playoffs than whose starting!

Based on the agent's comments, it HAD to be him who was the "source."

TD will NOT be pressured, and MM won't take any crap

**TheGhostofJimKelly** · 08-21-2004, 06:20 AM

What are the odds that the source was Travis Henry?

McGahee has said that he isn't 100%, why in the world would he think that he is ready to take on a starting job at running back in the NFL this year?

that's just the problem with those Hurricane players. They think that they are entitled to everything and will let you konw that. McGahee will be a fine pro but he has to take this slow or he will end up take courses at Miami instead of playing

Well, there aint no we either...
j/k!
I'm kinda leery (sp?) on this whole thing. McGahee said that he told the Bills that he never said that and that he doesnt know where it came from, according to wgr 550.

**Jayhawk** · 08-21-2004, 07:19 AM

blame the fish.

**Novacane** · 08-21-2004, 07:23 AM

I heard that on WGR55 too. If McGahee said he never said that I have to take him at his word. I'd bet any money this whole thing comes from Rosenhous. The more willis plays the more that scumbags gets.

**Novacane** · 08-21-2004, 07:38 AM

It's believed people close to McGahee are trying to pressure the Bills into starting him or making a move so he can reach his incentives.

There is the key to the entire article. It's not McGhaee, it's Rosenhous

EXACTLY! The best thing to come out of all of this would be for Willis McGahee to be a big team player and tell Rosenhaus to STFU and then fire him.

I get sick of the lies by these agents errr...sources. I wish they were accountable for their actions.

**Marino13Phins** · 08-21-2004, 08:26 AM

It was on ESPN and several other radio shows as well. It's Mcgahee's agent, the guy is an a$$ and I think Mcgahee arleady had a big head, but with an agent taling him up like that lal time I can't say I didnt' expect to see this coming. I think TH should be your opening day starter.... he deserves it.

Absolutely. TH has shown he has what it takes, rushing for 1350+ yards in each of the last two seasons, much of that last year with a broken bone. McGahee's NFL experience consists of ONE PRESEASON GAME. If it's true he's intent on being a starter, instead of whining he should go out and prove why he SHOULD start ahead of TH.

Yea.... No question Henry is going to be the starter opening day.

Mularkey loves him.
