All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
This is ridiculous. Have Edwards and Anderson performed so badly that we need to pursue this money hungry clown from Philly? Sure, he'll land somewhere with a fat contract but the Bills DO NOT need this guy. Remember how excited everyone was about Reshard Lee? Well, now he's gone. Simply because there was solid depth at the position. Just like there's depth at DT AND CB. As much as it kills me to say this, if I were TD, I would say goodbye to Nate Clements. No player is worth the kind of money that Nate will command. Nate will probably have a great pro-bowl season this year, but his eye is on the $$$, not the playoffs. He'll play for whoever offers the most dough. New Orleans, Miami, San Fran. Doesn't matter how bad the team is because he'll be able to say that he's the highest paid CB in the league. And in the end, being the top money dog is all matters to most of the players in the NFL. Of course, we can go ahead and franchise him but look what that did for Corey Simon and the Eagles. McGee goes to #1. Greer, Thomas, King, and a day one pick vie for the #2 spot. Nothing but a vicious cycle.
Well put!
Where else would you rather be than right here right now?
I'm sorry, but I cannot see Greer in a starting role. I'm not even all that comfortable with TM yet, although I feel he will be a good one as he becomes more consistent.
I don't necessarily like the overpaying Nate, it just that I am not comfortable with the idea of TM and Greer as our starting CB's.
Forget Simon. We don't need him, and some team with a lot more cap room will grab him anyway.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
as per espnews. anyone think the Bills will go after him now after all the rumors a while back?
If we truly sit at 3 mil under right now, I see no reason Clements cant be locked up long term and actually REDUCE or hit in 2004 and 2005. That extra cash could get you a Simon if he'd be willing to backload and have a low cap hit in 04 and 05.
Id love the move, Adams isnt getting younger and we have some tough runners in the AFC east
Like Donahoe once said..."if we really liked a player and we thought that he could help the team then we would find the money for that person." Now lets see if they really like Simon or not ,and if they feel that we really need him.
Bills already put enough pressure on a QB now.. Any CB that Bills plug in will look great when the opposing QB is running for his life or pressured to make that perfect throw.. Id like to give Edwards a shot and bring in anderson for a better look.. Id like to see another solid RB just incase.. Gates looks fine against other teams 2nd and 3rd strings, hasnt played much if any against starting defenses..
simon could put us over the top this year as the best D ever, that might be worth having to let someone (perhaps moulds) go.
Adams will be gone in a couple years (altho i'd like him to retire as a bill, he is not going to play forever), so having simon under contract would be a good thing long term.
i don't think we let nate go unless we have no other choice (i.e. he won't sign), don't be affraid of having great players on your team.
people talk about the pats as if they have scrubs all over the place, ty law might be gone, but this is a team that had 4 top flight LBs and went out and inked Rosy colvin to a 30 buck contract. the pats are not affraid of building on strength and we shouldn't be either.
I think he is way to expensive for us, obviously I loved to have one of the best defense ever, but i really think that Edwards & Anderson will be ok at this point.
Well according to the Miami Herald, the Bills are one of 5 teams that contacted the agent for Corey Simon on monday. The other teams are Miami, Baltimore, Seattle, and Indy.
