    2 More UFA Sign With Bills

    WR Tony Brown - Tennessee
    404 Not Found | wbir.com

    FB Jon Goldsberry - Purdue

    http://www.purdueexponent.org/interface/bebop/showstory.php?date=2005/04/25&section=sports&storyid=draftpost


    Look what the guy said to the media about coming to Buffalo:
    Fullback Jon Goldsberry signed with the Buffalo Bills as an undrafted free agent. His contract included a $20,000 signing bonus to go along with the league minimum salary.

    Goldsberry said that he chose Buffalo over Detroit and New England because they offered the highest signing bonus and the situation at Buffalo was the best.

    "They have a guy playing fullback who’s 33 and gets injured." Goldsberry said. "(I’m) going to Buffalo and raising hell."
    I wonder if Shelton has anything to say about this? If I were Shelton I'd be pissed at a rookie making a comment like this.

    If he was talking about me, I'd give Spikes a big fat steak dinner if he knocked the rookie on his ass the first day.

          The most important thing in that scouting report is that Tony Brown has my birthday.

          he must be really good.

            Here's some info on Goldsburry from NFL Draft Insider:

            Height/Weight: 6'1", 245
            40 yd-dash: 4.73

            STRENGTHS: Classic overachiever who gets the most out of his ability...Has good size and a solid frame...Has a high motor and is always giving 100%...Smart player...Very tough...Has shown some potential as a runner and pass catcher.

            WEAKNESSES: Is not the most devastating blocker around, althought it's not for lack of effort...Is a limited natural athlete...Does everything well but nothing great...May have maxed out his potential and have a limited upside.

            NOTES: Won't amaze you with his physical gifts but the type of guy you hate to doubt...A nice all-around fullback prospect who will get more than a look due to his top intangibles and attitude.

                    Agreed, but is anyone feeling like our offense will be really young and inexpienced this year.

                    It just feels like were taking steps backward

                      I was particularly pleased with how well Shelton was knocking around linebackers last year. Not quite Sam Gash in his prime, but a good blocking fullback nonetheless.

                            I like Shelton a lot too... thought he had a pro-bowl kinda year.... BUt i like this kid's attitude.. I hope he attacks LB's the way he does press conferences.

                              That quote is priceless. I'm thinking this guy will be involved in some fights this year at training camp. I'd be interested to see what he can do on special teams.
                              I only drink when I'm alone or with others.
