Hey X...do you still have the links to the new CBA saved anywhere?

Schef just tweeter this today as well, Nelson will not be tendered.

I'l be disappointed if we let him walk. I like David and he's been a success story here.

I do realize it's not a huge loss though.

they feel our resources are better spent elsewhere, so it's ok.

Nix said the Bills have been talking to Nelson's agent about a contract. Hopefully they can get a deal done.

I'd really like to see that too. I love what the guy does in the slot.

Re: Looks like Nelson is not going to be tendered

According to this site http://www.nyjetscap.com/Bills/bills2013.php ... We had $20.9M room remaining (with $121M cap) before we signed Tarvaris Jackson and Colin Brown (combined $2.92M hit). That leaves $17.98M.

According to http://www.nfl.com/photos/0ap1000000...p2000000133192 the Bills are $16.7M below the cap which is 8th best in the league. In terms of David Nelson and the tender thing I think it's wise to not do so as he's a good player but e a role player at that and don't think he's worth signing to a contract bigger than is warranted for a 3rd or 4th WR.

I never said Dwayne Bowe my friend (he is likely to be franchised anyway). I said the top tier receivers. Also don't be surprised to see the Bills draft 2 receivers in the first 3 rounds (possibly trading back up to get one).

No surprise he won't get tendered not a great fit moving forward.

Well, I would be surprised if the Bills draft 2 WRs in the first 3 rnds. I would not be surprised if they draft one there & one later in the draft.

Why is he not a great fit going forward? Maybe he will have a QB that can get him the ball while he is in stride. I think it is just the money numbers.

Re: Official: Bills will not tender David Nelson

I think this is more OBD's attempt to resign him to a long term deal. Rather than just let him walk.
