No it means you could have asked about a trade for him. Doesn't mean it would have happened. I seriously doubt he would have agreed to a trade to Buffalo, They wouldn't have done that to him in my opinion. Dallas was going to treat him right by releasing him to go where he wanted to go. Cutler was talking about retirement a while back, What does that tell you about his mindset?

How do you know they didn't? Just because you wanted it it was suppose to happen no matter what the teams and players involved thought? It's not Madden. You can't make deals you like just like that.

What options did they have that would make you happy? What should they have done? I don't really expect an answer, haven't gotten one any time I ask anyone this question. But I continue to ask. Give me plan B. Or what you thought plan A should have been.

Unless they have something fantastic they are planning to do with Clay, I doubt this report is true.

So you think letting him walk and leaving them with just Jones at QB is a great GM move? I'm not hearing any other REALISTIC options. I seriously don't know what some expected to happen. They took the best option they had.

They were never at no time going to take a QB at #10, Not this year. They could still take one in the 3rd or 4th but not before and it depends on who is available at the time. They went with the best option, just like Bills fans want them to do. Choose the best option. I know you really were not asking them to reach and hope for a rookie to start this coming season were you? How was that going to work out? They played the best hand they had. It's not over yet.

Exactly who are they going to free up money for? Free agents that could really help (if there are any) are going to be overpaid anyway. Isn't that how you get into a cap mess in th first place? Sign your own, that you want to keep, and focus on the draft.

I'm reasonably sure the Bills have a cap on what they would be willing to match. Don't really need to lose him.

That's pretty much what I expect to happen. Sounds like them.

If a team gives him a long term for starter money then more power to them. I doubt that happens.

Nothing more to say on that place. Enjoy your day.

Thanks for the information! No matter, I don't think they have anything planned in the extra days so. I think they keep him anyway.

Talk about another message board on a new message board? OK, whatever. Sounds like crying about how some feel they were mistreated . But that's just me. Please let it go. We're here now. Nothing more to say.Back to actual football talk.

Why do you guys insist on keeping that place alive? It's over. Love it or hate it, that was then and this is now. Time to move on.

I though they pretty much HAD to decide by March 9th one way or the other. Since they are not going to sign anyone or make a trade before that date, what are the options? Way to go out on a limb there ICB.

You're so bad at you job we thought we'd bring in this guy who hasn't kicked for years to help you. What do you say? You OK with that Carp? I wouldn't think much of Carp or Whaley for doing that. If you can better the position then do so and don't waste time with him.

An MRI is requested for various issues. Waiting sometimes means the ones ahead of you have a more serious condition or simple were scheduled ahead of you. Even if you are scheduled sometimes you get pushed back for a priority case, Of course being young and never having to go through it, he wouldn't understand that. The bigger issue I have is that IF he did say "Do you know who I am", which I question, it shows a selfish attitude and a me first type of mentality. Is he a team player or an I'm all out for me, player?

I've brought this up elsewhere but since it's a zombie thread and will not die, once the League and the NFLPA found out about it your team would be in hot water for a while. Player incentives, those playing in contract years, coaches trying to advance in the ranks of the NFL and so on make it unlikely. I doubt any team could keep it that much of a secret that something would not get leaked. Great for headlines, not so much for the League.
