I can't believe so many posters thought we were going to pay Fitz $10M dollars. Use logic people.

It's fine that you think that, but don't make up whatever quotes you like and try to pass them off as legitimate.

1 day 2 hours left...the suspense is unbearable...

Yeah, don't worry about the inflection because Nix didn't even say that. Good one JPS.

1) He wasn't bitching 2) He wasn't complaining Lamenting would be a better word. But I know a few people that are bitching and complaining. Try to get those panties unknotted before posting.

Meh, let them get their panties in a bunch. That isn't the group of posters you want to have a discussion with anyway.

Yeah, and considering he's their #1 priority, I'm not getting my hopes up too much.

This is the name I'm hoping to hear a buzz about later on today!

Two??? There's been like a dozen over the last month.

Kiper, McShay, NFL.com (Gil Brandt), and more than I care to lookup had RG3 graded as elite (most #2) right before the draft. No, not mock drafts - overall talent rankings i.e. the Big Board, The Top 32, etc. Well my point still stands. I'm pretty sure we had this conversation in another thread, so we'll revisit the thread at the end of the season after Warmack has faded into mediocrity. This way I can reference it in 2014 when the next annual Hall of Fame guard declares.

To be fair, if Luck and RG3 were being drafted this year, nobody would be calling Warmack the best player in the draft either.

I'm not an advocate of taking a back that high either, but you have to realize we only had one RB - Jackson (who wasn't really established yet). Lynch was loooong gone in the minds of the front office. They weren't going to hand him a new contract with his past. They screwed up by not dealing Lynch at the draft, and thus painted themselves into the uncomfortable corner of having every single team in the league know that we were desperate to ditch Lynch. We even had to "showcase" him that year for the first 2 or 3 games which caused a lot of fan confusion.

Is that the same guy who was running over people downtown, stealing money out of wallets, down to his last strike and flirting with a league suspension, and who's contract was coming up? Yeah, I felt real good about re-signing him to a new deal....

Goldson plays FS. But at least you didn't whine about Levitre, so you got that going for ya.

Actually he turned it around last year, he looked very good in coverage when he took over for Williams. Also it's a bit disingenuous to imply that he's been playing for 5 years - I doubt he's even had 2 full seasons worth of starts at CB.

McKelvin signing signals starting spot in secondary for Bills

Hmmmm.... interesting

Hey, hey, hey enough with that logic stuff. Also forget the fact that he can play nickel and dime packages. We need to generate more panic about breaking the bank for a guard.

Spot on! There really is no chance we take Warmack at 8.

You know I always thought he had very good coverage skills, but for some reason he has no play recognition and would never turn his head when the ball got there.

As opposed to Fitz staying, in which case the season is also a write-off (and we get to eat his cap number again in 2014 yay!) 4 days 18 hours....I'll be watching my phone Friday, I feel a text message coming....

So you expect Calvin Johnson or Jerry Rice as a #2? Got it.

March 13 4PM is D-Day. Fitz now has 6 days and 19 hours left in a Bills uniform. I predict the axe will fall on Friday. Godspeed Fitzgibbons.

Right. Except Levitre is a "peer" to Yanda by position only, not by talent. Yanda is a top-5 guard and Andy simply isn't at his level. Now, nearly every GM in the league would say that Baltimore got fantastic value signing Yanda to a very reasonable contract, but that's not my point. You can sit down at the negotiating table and justify that number by saying "we are offering you a contract similar to a guy that is considered better than you" (obviously worded at bit more delicately). Also I can see him wanting more, but a 23% raise from $6.4M to $7.9M doesn't seem logical to me, how did you get that number?

You might not understand the logic because what you are saying simply isn't true. The best OGs in the league aren't paid the highest salaries because they are versatile - they command top dollar because they are dominant at their respective positions. Sure durability is important. Yes, it's a nice luxury to be able to kick Levitre out to LT in a pinch, but that speaks more to our lack of depth than anything else. Amen. I agree with you on keeping him as well. Offering him the $6.4M/year that Yanda (a better G) gets would be very fair to both sides IMO.
