  1. According to a story on Yahoo, McNabb is the one who nixed any trade other than to the Redskins. The Bills were willing to make the trade and also offered him an extension on his contract, but McNabb wouldn't budge and insisted on a trade to the Redskins so he could take out his anger on the Eagles for the forseeable future twice a year...

     

    Nothing the Bills could do if McNabb was hell bent on getting revenge on the Eagles...

     

    More like hell bent on going nowhere near Buffalo.

  2. I think getting Donald Butler (Washington) the best ILB prospect in this draft in the 3rd round would be a steal, so I guess I'm one of those that has him rated higher than you. Butler does not come at a position on need for the Bills, so I don't see him ending up in a Bills uniform, but he'll be an immediate starter in the NFL either at weakside in a 4-3 or inside in a 3-4. He actually reminds me of Curtis Lofton, and Lofton's game has really taken off in Atlanta the past 2 seasons.

     

    Split the difference....Nawrocki has his value pegged as an early 4th rounder.

  3. I had a feeling that Fred Jackson was money the first time i saw him run in the preseason 2 or was it 3 yrs ago now & i got that same feeling about Johnson & Hardy, they just need some field time . Steve did great when called upon . I believe they are the starters and Roscoe will be the back up . But don't forget about the new receiver Jackson , this kid was a stud as a Gator and ran like a 4.34 40 at his work out for the Bills & was taken by the Pats in the second but hurt his knee . He didn't play last year and has something to prove so this should be interesting when spring training starts . GO BILLS !!!!!

     

    Anything we might get out of Chad Jackson is just pure gravy, as he has done absolutely nothing in the NFL. Expectations are zero, but maybe he surprises.

  4. Give up on Gaither, man, the Ravens aren't going to trade him. Expect him to be on their roster, as the LT, for years.

     

     

    In this scenario....

     

    1 - Clausen.....folks i just dont get it....he is the SECOND BEST QB IN THIS DRAFT.....he plays in in a pro style offense....he has a strong arm......he is accurate.....he is an easy pick of the ot's are gone and he is still on the board

     

    2 - trade for Gaither......we need an experienced left tackle and not throw D. Bell back into the fire again.

     

    3 - Cam Thomas.....get our NT in the 3rd

     

    4 - Best RT available

     

    JH, haven't you heard? Thurman#1 has declared Gaither will NOT be traded.

  5. I do break down game tape of the Lines ...

     

    Really? You have access to NFL coaches tape? You know what play was called, what their assignments and line calls were, and the defensive calls and shifts? Or do you just watch it on TV like the rest of us?

  6. I love how people can guarantee what will happen in the future. None of us have a clue if McNabb has any interest in coming here or whether he would or would not sign an extension. In most cases money talks. If we pay him, he will sign,

     

    I do agree with the posters who say that they would not make the deal without an extesnion.

    I don't think the Bills or any other team would make this move without an extension. And from McNabb's perspective, it doesn't sound like he will have the option of going to a good team. He options are limited to B-lo, Oakland and maybe St Louis or SF. I think it is a possibility that he comes here and signs an extension and I would be thrilled.

     

    I'm guaranteeing he doesn't sign an extension with Buffalo. Listening to Mayock on NFLN tonight, who is very familiar with the situation, only confirmed it for me. He won't go to a rebuilding situation, with no OL and no WR's. Come back and rub it in my face if he does, but I won't be holding my breath.

     

    And I'm one of those guys saying if they do make the trade it must be contingent on an extension. See the catch 22? McNabb does have options and controls his destiny. Rather than finishing his career getting smeared behind the OL in Buffalo he will just play out his contract and find a better suitor who will pay him just as much.

  7. 1.) Franchise tag

    2.) Don't tell me he would not sign a 3yr extension if the Bills made a lucrative offer.

     

    1.So we'll franchise a 34 year old guy who already doesn't want to be here and pay him $15M+ for it? :blink:

    2. He would not sign an extension if the Bills made a lucrative offer. McNabb will not go to a rebuilding situation at this stage of his career, with our OL and WR's.

     

    You either consummate the extension before the trade, or don't do it. McNabb knows this and has the leverage, and simply won't do it. He'll play out his contract and seek the big money next year, and with more control over his destination.

     

    Enough already please. As any Bills fan who lives in the Philadelphia market can tell you, McNabb is clearly not the answer to a rebuilding team like the Bills. Without an offensive line, McNabb will be no better than Trent or Ryan. The guy is no longer mobile. When under pressure, McNabb's accuracy and decision-making skills are awful. We can not afford to give up a second or even third round pick for McNabb. I actually have faith that Buddy Nix and Chan Gaily will not let this happen. They have got to know that McNabb is not their savior. No, no, no.

     

    Exactly.

  8. Thats the problem, without a decent QB, none of our WRs are taking any passes. We need a QB. If you can get a quality starter for a second round pick, what is the problem. I understand that he is nearing the end of the road and would be reluctant to sign a long term deal here. But thats up to Russ and Buddy to sell him that we are trying to win. Offer him a 2-3 yr ectension and promise that we will go LT in Rd1 and sign a FA wideout. Maybe he would want to play with Kevin Curtis again.

     

    This just seems like a no brainer. 2-3 yrs of very good QB play for a #2 pick, sign me up.

     

    You underestimate the value of a high 2nd round draft pick.

     

    And he would only be here for 1 year - McNabb is in charge here, and he will not be signing an extension to play in Buffalo.

  9. If the Bills don't make the trade for McNabb for some reason I have this vision of CJ Spiller in the first and Tebow in the second with the Bills running a spread offense. Not saying I'd like to see it happen, but for some reason I just have this vision in my head.

     

    Luckily Buddy is running this team, and he has no such visions. Spiller at #9 and Tebow with our 2nd rounder?! :blink:
