For all the *****ing and whining you guys are ignoring fact. FACT would be no one worth a damn on average wants to play for the Bills. FACTS are until we sign some mid tier FA's, Draft well and play worth a damn with good coaching, we aren't going to get anyone worth a damn in here.
We have an owner that voted against the CBA pissing off some players I am sure. (right or wrong doesn't matter). We have an 80+ year old GM, New staff, 3rd HC in 6 years etc.
With stuff like that esp 3 HC in 6 years that shows potential FAs no stability in this franchise. Yeah I want to come play for DJ but will he be here in 2 years? Tons of stigma's that have to be gotten rid of before we can really attract people.
FACTS are Marv Levy is paying for Tom Donahoe's sins. You can't shake that off in one offseason. Marv is trying but he has the deck stacked against him at this point.
So again I say, Sign good up and coming mid tier FA's like NE did. Draft well like NE did. Then play some solid football which we can with good coaching (And I think we finally have that again) and show potential FA's we are not the team of the last 6 years and are on the way up. When that is done guys will want to come here.
Marv called the agent for Mawae before FA started. No visit came, why? Apperantly he didn't want to be here. Fabini was apperantly having his agent work his arse off to get a deal done with Tampa or Dallas while getting a free meal from the Bills, so he really didn't want to be here either. We were option 3 or 4. Pickett the same way. he hauled arse outta here and didn't meet with our press. The next day he signs with GB.
We do NOT want guys that are here just because we offer more money. We want FA's that actually have us 1 or 2 on thier FA list and let money be 'A' factor. Not THE factor. It never works out well if the guy is just here for money.
I will finish with remember what it was like when we were an attractive team? Bryce Paup, chris spielman etc all wanted to be here. How did they do for us? Quinn Early was brought in as a #2 WR to Reed. he really wanted to go to Dallas, Atlanta or back to New Orleans to stay near where he family was. But we WAY out bid for him. How did that work out? The guy sucked for us.
We need to get through this offseason and draft well. Let the process play its self out. We will have a good amount of cap room next year and if we play well on the field (wins and losses mean nothing, play well and improve) then we will be higher on better FA's lists.
