Good for him. He says he isn't feeling it and wants to take a year off to be with his mom and aunt who have health issues. Raji has afforded himself that luxury by what he has made so far. And anyone saying you could not live off what he has made is being silly. $26+ million . I get after taxes and such, but still. He takes a year off, spends time with his family. If he feels the urge to come back he does so next year and will get a good deal from some team.

Fitz, might just be saying to himself 'I have enough money, I will only play for this money'. Fitz is a smart guy. He knows about all the health issues of playing the game. It is also March, as the season gets closer both teams and players get more anxious.

Mario can still play and he will be good for the Phins. He will also play the Bills extremely tough. Mario seems like he has an up and down personality when it comes to the game. He is going to be ready to prove he can do it. He still is in great shape and can be a force. To think he isn't going to be chasing TT around is living in denial.

I apologize if I sounded like you only need 2 corners in Rex's D. I understand you need good talent in any scheme at as many positions possible. I also agree with the talent that was on the roster being suited for the 4-3. Rex even said he was trying to do what you suggested and he didn't get the job done. Now Rex wants to implement his scheme 100%. I am hopeful that the Bills will have the right amount of playmakers on each level to accomplish this come opening day. I also hope they will all have bought into it and prepared for it.

Here is the thing, Schwartzs D was good for the Bills personnel 2 yeas ago. That D needs a dominant front 4. It relies more on talent and less on scheme. This is good. The front 4 have the autonomy to usually just control their had with either a rush of clog for the run. Problem with this is cost. In Scwartzs D you have to pay 4 maybe 4 guys premium dollars. Of course you still have to have good corner play, which will come at a price as well. Now Rex's D is more scheme based less individual talent based. Rex's D is based off the unit working together as 1. Rex's D relies on outstanding corner play, leaving them on an island so the other 9 guys can attack. 2 vs 4 premium paid . My thought at least.

He looks like a giant dbag there! Maybe the pizza thing is clouding my perception. JJ Watt has to be saying 'this guy now?!'

Why oh why does anyone follow her? She has no differential abilities or talents from anyone else in the world, except to say things that make little to no sense. I do not get it at all. The fact that Brent stays with her and allows this to go on also says something about him. She uses him to make herself feel relevant. God bless the Bucs for having to put up with that.

With Fitzs as QB Denver would not have won the AFC championship game. That was a classic game for Fitz to be Fitz and throw a 4th quarter Int that sets NE up for the victory.

He will annoy Brady big time. Drop the easy one and then make a jaw dropper. Inconsistent has been Hogans major issue.

IF Hogan does go to NE it does NOT mean he will become the next Wes Welker. Remember when a lot of people said Chandler will be the next great NE TE?

The 'lost' guys were for the most part later round draft picks OR guys signed late in FA, except Mario and McKelvin.My point is while all were contributors on some level, that talent can be replaced and doesn't need to be replaced early in FA while teams our over paying. It's up to Whaley and his guys to find the next Rambo's and Boobie's.

Not really. If I watched those other teams like I do the Bills I am sure I could give you plays where they helped turn tide or they sealed a game.Gilmore is solid. He is by no means a top five corner, but he will get paid like one. Thank you, yes that was the play I was thinking about. That was a good play.

Gilmore is good. Can you give me 5 plays he has made that stand out? I mean over his career to date? I think Gilmore will get paid like he is a top 5 CB because the Bills have very little money tied up in the defensive backfield now. I don't want to lose him. I think they make it a contract that the Bills can void after 3 years with minimal hit. Make the cap hit decent sized for the next three years while Darby is on his rookie deal . Gilmore will only be 28 in three years. If he plays good, he will get another big payday.

This is shaping up to be like a Steelers off season. Lock up your guys. Wait for the second or third round of signings to find some Vets for a reasonable rate. I don't think the Bills will be big players . I can see them making a signing in the secondary or LB area.

Begging might be a little bit strong. Who cares, he is one of ours and seems to be a Bill through and through. One less spot to have to fill.

It may be system fit but it may also be that some of these guys just can not learn a new system quickly. From all accounts Rex's D was not easy to decipher. If a player has a difficult time learning new schemes he will struggle with the change. Nigel can hit like a Mac Truck and always liked the way he played. Too bad it could not work out.

I am glad he is back I wonder if he really did take a discount...i mean there are so many variables to these deals. One team may have offered more overall money but less guaranteed. Or maybe vice versa. Richie signed with the Bills because the money was right and so was the fit. 3 years $15+mil not to bad for a guy who was begging teams for a job a year ago. He earned it and i hope he keeps it up.

No way anyone gives him a 4 year deal UNLESS it is something voidable after three and allows them to spread money over 4 years. RI deserves to get what he can. I am sure his agent has an offer in his pocket already that trumps what the Bills are offering, otherwise he does not hit FA.

If anyone changes an opinion on a player now, it needs to have the disclaimer ' I watched game tape on him finally'. Otherwise why the moving around?!

I like Leodis as a man. Not sure why but when I see him I think of a big kid. He seems very happy go lucky. I'm sure he will land someplace and I hope he has good people in his corner.

With the playoff configuration I will disagree with this. Richt has a knack for coming up small for the big game. If you watched UGA games for the last 15 years you would know what I am talking about. Maybe things will be different in Miami for him, but I doubt it. He may get into the playoffs because the ACC is a one team league year in and year out.

As a UGA fan I have to say you are spot on...and agreeing with a UF fan isn't fun. Richt is a great recruiter but always has been a bad game manager and bad at putting his players in the best position to succeed. He will do ok. And the ACC is easier to win in than the SEC.

He just did not fit into what Shannahan was doing here. Not sure why...i think Roddy has a little left in the tank but is not what the Bills need. Roddy was always first class and dealt with his demotion about as good as he could.

He will not be missed. I watched him in the first NE game get man handled by Gronk on the goal line. I knew right then that Mario was dogging it. Wish it could of worked out, but you can not let the players act like he did and not expect ramifications.

How do you know he did not try? Richie does not owe the Bills a discount. At 33 you have this one last time to try and sign a multi year deal. Has anyone brought up the fact that Richie may have looked so good last year because he took a year off? i get he was hungry to prove he could play, but that lasts so long.
