why do you say he is a good tackle? A clue may be that AZ outright released him, so they feel he is not worthy of even a backup spot, and his trade value is zero (i.e. they could have traded him for a 6th round pick next yr to someone at least). So - maybe the football minds in the AZ & Bills organizations realize that he is not a good option. That being said, if we can pick him up for depth and a shot at the lineup (if MCNally can work his magic), then that wood be fine. But Im certainly not going to be upset that the Bills didnt sign him immediately, and assume that he is an obvious upgrade that TD is missing the boat on.

I remember the bills took some heat after the 2003 draft because they "should have bolstered the defense". well, they had one of the best D's the next two seasons I think too many of the draft anaylsis is based on whether a team drafts to fill a "need" (as perceived by the media). How often does a draft pick fill a need? By the time most draft picks are contributing, the teams needs have changed. So in 2003, the Bills "need" was Defense (I believe pass rusher and seconday were the hyped needs at the time), but they took a RB. So in 2005, the BIlls "need" is a LT - would they find someone in round 2 or 3 that would be ready to start opening day at LT? It may be interesting to see if we look back in 2 years, if all this criticism about not drafting a LT is as forgotten as the criticism that the Bills did not draft Defense in round 1 of 2003.

http://www.redskins.com/uploads/files/JHCM...0On%20Trade.mp3 here is the redskins official explaination. (Audio file). They say they paid less than the Bills for the 1st rnd pick. Also sounds like they are in a war with the local media. They dont think much of Phillip Buchannan either.

this is the same flimsy source that started this a few days ago. There is no skins-bills talk for Clements. Its all Hogwash

Not sure where this rumor came from (other than the one site someone linked a few days ago) but its not on the radar of the skins fans. I talked to friend who is a Skins fan, and he had not heard any talk, and did not seem thar interested. I just scaned thru 4 redskins message boards, and I could not find one mention of this trade.. There is a lot of CB talk (who to draft with#9, trading for Buchannon w/ Oakland, etc), and none of the threads mention Nate.

the cards will not release Shelton if he is not traded, they will keep him. just like the bills will not release henry

Jones & Franks - maybe there price has come down since theyre still available

I remember reading press about him about 7-8 yrs ago, a story when he was at University of Rochester - he must be getting old by now

what was it that the voice on the radio said about the flight number? I Tivo'd it, but I couln't make out what he was saying

someone give him Green's phone # http://www.azcentral.com/phorum/read.php?22,327916

this quote was in the lions fan link (undercover mike) above - what was the Buffalo jersey incident w/ demulling? did I miss something?

These restrusturings will come back and bite them in a couple years - and I dont see the raiders as a team on the verge of a championship before then

bingo

Raiders | Burgess Landed With Five-year Pact - from www.KFFL.com Sat, 12 Mar 2005 15:16:57 -0800 ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reports the Oakland Raiders have reached a contract agreement with free agent DE Derrick Burgess (Eagles) on a five-year, $17.5 million deal. The contract includes a $6 million signing bonus. I thought they were already over the top w/ moss/woodson, etc

Our top story tonight: Generallissimo Francisco Franco is still dead

They just banned to guy for posting crap http://www.purplepride.org/skol/viewtopic.php?t=8631

sounds nuts to me, total BS, but something to talk about http://www.purplepride.org/skol/viewtopic.php?t=8617

I hope we dont hear him refer to Padme as "M'Lady" 17 times again - that was annoying

why doesn't he want to just play out the last year of his contract at a team who needs a starter - if he's that confident, he could have a huge payday at the end of the year

only if at a salary level of a 2nd to 3rd receiver so, therefore no

here is another link to the new trailer http://www.zig.org/files/starwars/episodeIII_trailer.mov

teague is a Left Tackle

ah, that explains a lot. so you're from the left coast?

yes - which would make this an odd signing. Miami has huge problems on offense, but this would be the third defender signed - and second at DE? fin fans must be losing their minds maybe the fins are looking to trade a DE like Taylor?
