From Chris Brown: http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2015/03/11/time-to-match-an-offer-sheet-is-just-5-days/ Apparently its actually only 5 days to match the deals per the new CBA

Pay him a lot. They dont have to match the structure do they? Just the guaranteed money I thought. FYI: http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/0ap2000000283274/Charles-Clay-39-yard-touchdown-catch

Can you send the tweet. I follow him but dont see it

Right my bad. I forgot he had done it.

This stuff is hilarious. Do the people that post this stuff think every other team is clamoring for the Bills players? Do you realize Kiko was a consolation prize for Philly? The likely tried other teams but nobody would give up anything for McCoy. We were the only ones willing to make a deal. Why would anybody trade a QB for a LB with a recently torn ACL

Without the five championships. I'm half kidding, I love Freddie and it was going to be really tough to watch the team without him on it. But ultimately it is a business and you can't hold on to old flames if there are better players out there. Freddie is not Derek Jeter. He has never won anything, never been to the playoffs, pro bowl, never had a 1,000 yard season even. He was a work horse and who we looked to for belief in this playoff drought but he isn't Derek Jeter. I hope Fred makes it in the wall and gets all the recognition he deserves for his loyally to us but I don't want our owner intervening every time our fans get upset about a player leaving. It's Freddie now but who know what will happen in the future.

A 4th rounder and get them to pay $5 mill of the deal this year. See what they say.

A lot of the ESPN guys break a lot of news and they are almost always credibile, Schefter Mort and Clayton to a lesser extent. Laconfera and Rapaport also have a lot of info but you have to decide what you want to believe. Then there's people that focus more on Bills news like John Wawrow, Joe B. As you follow some people they will retweet others and you can learn who else to follow.

Nobody knows for sure who picked him but I'm sure Whaley had some say in the matter. Doesn't really change things that he has missed badly on the offensive side of that ball. I like him as a GM and think you can do a lot worse.

Trading Shep for Hughes....great GM move. Signing cheap free agents (Lawson, Spikes) to compliment drafted talent (Brown, Dareus, Williams, Kiko) late in free agency when the prices have dropped...great GM move. Not over paying for a safety and re-upping the talented one on the roster to take his place...great move. To me Whaley is 60/40 good moved to bad moves. Some of the moves and decisions have been great and worked out, giving us a top defense. But he has whiffed hard on offense with Manuel, over paying for Watkins, not addressing O line and TE. Maybe we need another GM to focus on the offensive side of the ball.

Wow. Now I think we may have overpayed. I'm not sure he can possibly live up to it.

Dareus > Suh in a number of ways beyond performance. We drafted him and its always better to resign your own, he's also not known as the dirtiest player in the league. Dareus is younger too. Kyle Williams will not get a good draft pick in return. 4th at best I'd say because of his age but a 5th is more likely. He's a lot more valuable to us than he would be to any other team.

At least we will get one year with him...

a defensive TD

This is fine as long as they are still planning on bringing in a FA like Locker. Cassel is not a starter, he has underwhelmed everywhere save for one year in KC. I know none of the guys available are particularly impressive but I want someone else for competition if possible. Ill be upset of Cutler or Bradford end up being dealt because they are both major upgrades over this.

After time to digest I think McCoy makes sense for the next two years. In 5-7 years I could regret it though.

If Roman has influence, and clearly he does after this trade, he likes QBs that can run a little so I think locker is more likely.

Is this happening? My trust is really fading quickly. Losing Kiko and possibly Hughes? Moves better be made in FA. Big ones.

Wow.

Don't you know, Mario should be getting 50 sacks a year because we pay him a lot. Plus if we don't pay Hughes we can just go get a real QB...its that simple!

Revis.

I swear you could have taken this word for word from last year just replace Jerry with Byrd. That worked out in our favor. Let's have some faith this time. Whaley has built a defense for us and I trust him to make the right decision. I won't like seeing Jerry go but if he wants too much money I know Whaley has a budget and a plan to use that money elsewhere if Jerry goes.

He would definitely help fill in the gap between Woods and Hogan. I would love him back in Buffalo.

Billsfan keeps making this out to be biased to show how few supporters there are but a supporter and a voter of "no" dont have to be seperate. You can support him but not think he is going to be a franchise guy. I personally dont think he will ever develop but I will still root for him to prove me wrong. I root for anyone that puts the jersey on, just because I vote no here or that I understand the logic of trying to get rid of him now (although I prefer a trade) doesnt mean I hate him.

Hitting your stride is different than suddenly becoming competent at the position. Yea a guy may be ok and then breakout in year 2 or 3 but rarely do they go from being completely terrible to being good. EJ has not yet shown any ability to perform at a high level for a season. Maybe one game here or a good drive there but thats it.
