dollars 2 donuts

Yeah, FB, do you every write something here and just almost immediately regret it? I wasn't thinking things through and was in hurry to get back to something else. I agree with you 100%.

Remember in a trade we don't get his cap number. So cap wise he costs Indy 19 million or so. If we ended up getting him it would only be 14 million and just for this year. I am varied with my opinion on where his skills are given his age. However, from a cap perspective and trade (middle rounds is probably right) I'd think about doing it.

This. Two great big scoops of this. I don't care who the owner of the team is, if they start winning consistently the players will come in greater droves. Heck, Erik Dickerson wanted to be traded here in '87. Actually, and correct me if I am wrong, he may have been briefly on paper a Buffalo Bill as result of the Biscuit trade.

Man, on a tangent here, but I remember seeing Wilson (Wisc.) previously as high as a 4th rounder on some boards. ...then to 5th. ...6th. Now 7th.

I am going out on a limb and say he's pleased. ...so am I. Sure, signing Stevie Johnson and Chandler this week are technically "Bills" moves. However, you could also say that Fitzbeardly is GETTIN' THE BAND BACK TOGETHER!!!!

Yeah, actually, I think that is going to be the case wherever he goes...I just don't think there is any real good reason for him to come to Buffalo. Wait, now that I think about if you gave him assurances that are line was going to be ridiculously good and that he will have VJ and SJ to throw to. ...well, still maybe no, but it is intriguing.

I would have problems considering someone if it was going to take more than 25 million a year to bring him here (which it would) and he would have problems considering it b/c he knows that by coming here most of the holes necessary for repair aren't going to be fixed while he's here. ...additionally, I love my hometown, but come on, it's Buffalo. He has a home in Miami.

Zulu, although I didn't post anything like that last year I definitely thought it. Man was I wrong...happy for that guy in Denver, great player.

Yes. Needless to say, I think we are all about ready for that sort of national garbage to stop. However, the pisser is that it is not like we have been the worst team in the league year in and year out.

No, dwight, forgive me for disagreeing, but that is how we rationalize it. Not that what you wrote isn't true, it just means we can still be pissed. The writer was presenting 11 teams who truly might be interested. ...we were the joke thrown in at the end by a writer not trying to express any other point than being cute and it's annoying.

Please allow me to be the third to chime in on how disturbingly true this post is.

Not getting into the real nitty gritty, but if you think to yourself if he were able to escape his career with 20 million in the bank even the most basic CDs giving him 2% annually would yield him $400,000 a years for the rest of his days. ...In short, I absolutely hear ya, Dork. Geez, I mean even if you're NOT being lazy with the rest of your life aren't some of these guys the least bit concerned (or eager) to have financial security for the rest of their lives by the time they are in their mid 30s? An NFL player with 5 years experience at one million per year should still be able to walk away with 1 million in the bank for at least some security.

I'll tell ya, 3 picks in the top 53 would not suck.

Nice bender, I was going to mention them. They won a championship in there initial season, played one more (I think) and then that was it.

Throw in 2-3 shrewd moves in FA and I really like this team getting to at least 8-8 next year.

I'm with ya on that 'chize; get RGIII at two or trade down.

If Buddy makes up for those draft losses in FA...absolutely I would.

Becauseof his health issues I had no problem with Jennings leaving and I guess SF ended up with the brunt of that failing. That being said, if he had stayed healthy he really would have a been one of the premier LT in the game during his time..such a shame. I also wonder how much of his $35 million dollars he got out of the 49ers. I think he was there at least 3 years (possibly 4), but I can't remember how large was his bonus. EDIT: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2009/03/27/niner-dump-jonas-jennings/ Wow, he only appeared in 23 out of 64 games in SF. I read that is contract was actually worth 36 million and if you assume no adjustments and no additional bonuses for being on the roster then along with the above article he still ended up making more than 22 million dollars.

After seeing BBM's poster I was going to ask if anyone had the Machine Gun Kelly poster. ...thank you for not even letting me get to ask the questions, Buftex. That is awesome!

crayonz I'll do it only because you are getting upset...and honestly, I don't think I've seen that from you before. Twice, nonetheless, and almost pouty. Tom Brady can't be for Brad Pitt and George Clooney to win the Academy Award for Best Actor. ...that's why Gary Oldman is going to win.

Your threads never are, crayonz.

In before serious responses from those who don't realize it is a crayonz thread.

I gotta tell ya I have not been disappointed with either the Willis or Lee trades we did with the Ravens. Maybe they'd give us a 4th for McGee or a 3rd for McKelvin.

I fall for it...every single time. The thing is I don't think it is necessarily Ralph being cheap. I wonder whether he is up to something. Reports generally from this board (sorry no link) have Ralph pulling in anywhere from 20-40 million dollars the last couple of years. I truly wonder whether he is trying to stock pile some of his assets to be able to pass the team on to his wife. Absolute and pure speculation on my part...otherwise, I have no explanation of why he is so consistent (recently) in just taking money out of this franchise.

crayonz has serious conversations?
