i was almost thinking the opposite: that he had drawn interest from others but is still holding out hoping for an offer from the bills that he can stomach (because he wants to stay so badly - as evidenced by his twitter).

perhaps both? as i've posted on multiple threads, i am a little worried rex / pegula had a little more control over DW & JO than i would've liked. heard a lot through the charles clay process that rex was the guy really pushing for him, then we end up giving him almost 10% of our salary cap - sh*t.

judging by this guy's twitter, he really, really wants to be back in a bills uniform. perhaps he'd be willing to take a discount to stay in buffalo (probably the only way we could afford him as a role-player, albeit a locker room guy) - maybe whaley's counting on that.

kobe 8 counts as a throwback just because he changed his number?

also find it very interesting that both players kelly requested were pac12 guys he'd played against/with for several years at the college level. i don't disagree, i voted for kiko. i more meant that i think people are hoping on the woods bandwagon and off the kiko bandwagon to align their opinions with that of the professionals (our FO). before the trade, most people on the boards still considered kiko a sort of untouchable legend and woods a better-than-average starter, but after hearing that the bills chose to trade kiko over woods, suddenly everyone is hyping woods. *edited: voted for kiko not woods, misunderstood whether the question was rather keep or rather trade.

I suspect that the poll results would have been quite different if the poll had been conducted prior to the trade / the Bills brass' decision to trade Kiko instead of Woods.

Thank you for somewhat salvaging an otherwise embarrassingly unpopular thread!

it was discussed heavily in this thread: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/177238-rex-meets-with-media-at-owners-meetings-quotes-for-days/

http://davedameshek.nfl.com/category/podcast/ [ Podcast #340 ] Really gets into it around @ 43:20 (but first mention is at 39:50). Calls Watkins/Woods one of the best 1/2s in the league and Buffalo "the biggest threat to the New England Patriots in the AFCE." Thought this might have flown under most of your radars (because who the hell listens to the Dave Dameshek Podcast) but if you like Bucky Brooks, it's a good listen. For reference Brooks has been hyping the Bills all week, he wrote this piece talking up Buffalo on NFL.com, which Yolo posted yesterday.

this is fascinating. love to see robby woods getting some love! dude does not get talked about enough. also i think the two acls thing is getting underplayed.

just makes me like whaley more. also make me worry rex / pegula had too much control.

to answer the question posed, probably whichever team ends up playing chip kelly's speed offense in week one.

rip doug marrone.

people, please: when you ask a question with a finite set of answers, do us the courtesy of including a poll so that quantitatively-inclined people can wrap their head around the issue in their own way.

that contract is going to be inzane.

that scroll video feature is so dope. props to the nfl.com product manager that dreamed that up.

you wanna talk about playoffs? are you kidding me!

uh what.

i also dislike john murphy.

i like the idea of starting a thread of fake rodak tweets. maybe we can toss some omar and lacanfora in there too

i think this is a really, truly fantastic thread.

hahaha, nice. didn't we get rid of those collars in 2014?

as i posted elsewhere, this dude sounds like a total psychopath. could be an effective coach though.
