I'm surprised he didn't start before Free Agency even began. Must be nice to make an agreement then just be a sh*tbag and look to litigate every other day.

Players who keep playing. Gotta imagine the other guys in the lawsuit appreciate their...conduct.
I don't know. Ask Smith. He's been filing and threatening a number of suits that seem to be things that should have covered in the CBA.
The point being that teams may not be spending money due to the salary cap not increasing at the rate it has been and teams have cut more players (greater supply) and teams have less cap room (less demand) which means that teams are able to sign players to more team friendly contracts.
The players made a mistake when they hired a snake oil salesman to represent them. I'm sure we'll be seeing smith start the rhetoric shortly and file a lawsuit.
Peters isn't the best. He proved it by playing around on a scooter and leaving them with no options? His attitude that they couldn't win without him and couldn't be bothered to play if they didn't have a winning season is the best?
So would you have preferred a bad signing at one of those positions? What other QBs out there, do you want them to sign? What leads you to believe they are not / have not looked at those positions?
Some of the biggest stories in the world have been broken on twitter.
I'm glad that Barnett is back and will hopefully be playing in a more natural position.
I think the old axiom applies here, "If you have two starting QBs, you have none." None of these guys are clear cut prospects like Luck. There may be a good QB or two in there, but it's a big risk betting on any one of these guys in the top ten.
The positive response is that the Bills were in a tough spot. Fitz wouldn't restructure (he wanted his release, he knew he'd have to light it up to start). So they did what they had to do which put them in a position of almost having to draft a QB (which is not how you want to pick a QB). They made a signing to get them out of a bad spot.
You can say it's spinning their wheels. I don't like Kolb. I think his high end is average. The reason for the signing is to have a guy that can man the wheel while you go find the captain instead of grabbing the first guy you see in the port to captain the ship.
