I don't know about anyone else, but if given the choice between the 2, I'd take being in the HOF over a SB ring. Ideally having both would be nice, but being a HOF'er means you're a special player, whereas a lot of non-special players have a SB ring.

Pretty much. Thanks.

Depends on asking price. That $6.5M is his cap hit to the Rams, which gets wiped clean if they cut him, just like Moulds' $10.8M cap figure does if the Bills release him.

He's signed until the end of 2007, so what you're seeing is the amortized bonus from 2007 being added/accelerated into next year (2006) as dead cap money, if he's cut.

Cutting Moulds will save $4.522M. And considering neither Givens nor Bryant are top-flight WR's, they shouldn't count for more than $2.5M against the cap next year (that's cap number, not necessarily contract per-year average). As for Pickett, I'd rather get a NT like Washington, who will be cheaper and just as effective, if not moreso. I looked at the Bears' defense and they use a NT and a DT, and Washington and Adams would fit the Bills. Ngata would be ideal there as well. While it's not ideal to have to old guys in the middle, with Ngata and Anderson being in the rotation, it's a good way to go and feasible, and there are other needs (read: O-line) that need to be addressed with bigger-name/money players.

I'm not too sure Givens and Bryant will be all that expensive. I guess they could be if there's a bidding war over them, but I don't see it. But Bruce would be a decent fallback, again for the right price. But outside of a dome might not suit him.

There are a lot of teams who are over the cap, by a LOT mind you, who will need to cut good players. I say that if Moulds doesn't take a paycut, look to replace him with a veteran, not a rookie.

True that, and to think of all the injuries they've suffered so far.

Awesome! Except that the Sens get a point. But hey, it's a LOT better than getting beaten 6.5-1.75 (average score before tonight)!

I say it's defense, and either Ngata, Hawk, or Hali. Depends on who is there at #8 (Ngata is the only one I can see being gone by then, MAYBE Hawk) and if anyone is looking to trade up or down.

I saw the movie and liked it. My question is, with this talk of maybe a sequel, did the series move past the discovery of what happened on the planet/origin of the "Reavers (sp?)" or was that supposed to be discovered at the end of the (presumably longer-running) series?

Well you also don't want someone who doesn't want to be there. And Holland doesn't strike me as a great LB'er coach (and neither does Lee, and I'd rather the Bills stayed with Blackmon).

...and this surprises anyone?

Who said anything about Modrak?

Well Mularkey resigning was the best thing that could have happened, given the fact that NO ONE wanted to be an assistant under him. And him going to the Dolphins is even BETTER! WRT Bates, the Bills offered him $100K raise, but he already turned-down offers that were $150K HIGHER than that, so no real surprise there. If the Bills felt he were truly worth it, they would have started at $1M and gone up from there. As for Holland, is it a loss per se? Is he a top assistant? Did the Lions have good LB'ers last year?

Moreover the NFLPA plans to sue the NFL if the CBA isn't extended past this coming season. Upshaw says that the owners are holding things up because they're split on how to share revenues. That and the threat of no cap should be enough to speed things along.

We'll see how it plays out. The same thing was being said about the Redskins overpaying for player talent, and up until this last year (with the NFC being worse than it's been in years), where did it get them?

LMMFAO! And McNabb suffered an injury to his chest in the first game of the season that lingered and was more devastating than a torn groin.

Like I said before, at that tender it's a win-win situation for the Bills once they franchise him. Either they trade him for a 1st rounder, or keep him for the year (at least) for the "bargain" price of $5.9M.

Of course not. The NFL has been trying to make Brady "the next Joe Montana" for years now, as a posterchild for the league. Without him in the SB, and two "boring" teams in there, the product isn't as glitzy.

They broke up awile ago. Must have been the reports that Tommy boy liked to surf for (gay) porn. I kid. Really. Actually no I don't. Take THAT HD...wherever you are!

My (then almost 4 year old) son liked to add "ch" to words ending with "t." Well we're in Stowe VT in a nice resort having afternoon tea. So my wife has a cookie that my son wants to share, and he yells out "I want a bit(ch)!" The hand went over his mouth REAL quick.

Word is that talks between Detroit and Martz broke down. I posed this question before and someone said "if they [Fairchild/Bills] wanted him, he [Ramsdell] probably would already have been signed." I don't know if Ramsdell was holding out hope to work with Martz again or what, but it will be a situation worth watching.

So Jauron was the "architect" of the offense? So much for journalistic credibility.

I'm sorry I first made up the connection/joke.
