Buck up little camper, all is not lost (yet): http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2013/3/9/4084330/bills-free-agent-rumors-andy-levitre-louis-vasquez Maybe we have a back-up plan? Maybe we still sign Andy?

Levitre "news": http://blogs.tenness...3/03/09/titasn/ Titans interested, Bills a "concern" (?!). ^ lol - timing

Also, it has three exclamation points - it HAS to be true!!! Good thing we have Leodis to (potentially) match up with Wallace twice a year...

Interesting note from Joe B: @JoeBuscaglia - "For what it's worth, Leodis McKelvin has the same agent as Dannell Ellerbe. Talk amongst yourselves."

Not much in the grand scheme of CBs: http://www.overthecap.com/top-player-salaries.php?Position=CB Obviously he's had ups and downs, but I suspect he'll see the field more in Pettine's D - let's hope they can coach him up!

Twitter is saying 7.5MM guaranteed. Also, Graham says we'll need more coverage guys for Pettine's D. Still reserving judgement until we see the breakdown, though I'm glad he's is back.....

Funny - Tim Graham just posted an article on the "negotiation window": http://blogs.buffalonews.com/press-coverage/2013/03/what-happens-at-midnight-ufa-negotiation-window-primer.html Perfect timing

This should be fun - the rumors are going to be flying on Twitter! I also like that guys can test the market, but teams will have a chance to match... New FA rules (for those that are interested): http://www.thephinsider.com/2013/3/8/4080716/nfl-free-agency-2013-frequently-asked-questions

This new early negotiating window should be interesting, at least guys can go out, test the market and still get a chance to resign with their original team (knowing their free marketing value). If we're going to resign Levitre, it'll be in the next couple days... Here's a great FA overview (even if it IS from a Dolphin site): http://www.thephinsider.com/2013/3/8/4080716/nfl-free-agency-2013-frequently-asked-questions

NFLN just showed his Pro Day - everyone seemed relatively impressed. Live arm. Needs to work on the long ball. Buddy was there. Not much new... Mike Tannenbaum, mentioned that teams that are targeting him early in the second, might want to trade up into the first so they can lock him in to a 5yr contract (new CBA thing, I guess) and let him develop. Interesting thought / point.

Hey dudes, I hear Incarcerated Bob to announce bills info(!) Seriously though, the guy does often have some good scoops...

As was said - yup! And last year it was awesome, I ended up getting the "Digital Only" Sunday Ticket package, the price was lower than the year before ($250, maybe?) and not only did the password work on my iPad and iPhone, but also on my PS3 (which as a Sunday Ticket app). Not sure how it will all work without Direct TV since they're the ones you paid, even for the digi subscription, but lets hope this means we'll see ST on cable and on tons of different devices!

Finally, a thread where someone who constantly complains about our lack of depth, complains about our lack of depth.

Ha - he was asked why Welker wasn't on his top FA WR list. He said, "Because he's a Patriot!". Great answer (though he did go on to praise Welker). You GOTTA love Stevie...

NFLN is doing the State of the Bills tonight, including another (or maybe the same, who knows) interview with Stevie, FYI. Started at 7 EST...

Hopefully this is the first in a few dominoes of signings to happen over the next several days... Let's Go Buffalo!

lol - someone on Twitter just said the Bills season is over because KC is making moves and we're not!

True - still nice to know Stevie is out there working the connects... Can't wait for the 12th!

Anyone see this Tim Graham post?: http://blogs.buffalo...gs-goldson.html "I've talked to a few guys, trying to get them to come to Buffalo," Johnson told me this afternoon. "I just asked him, 'Who would you want to go to?' Out of his lips, he was talking about Buffalo a lot," Johnson said. "I'm, like, 'Man!' Hopefully if we don't resign Levitre we'll use some of that money to re-stock with some FA's! I'm, like, 'Man!'

FA doesn't start until the 12th, correct? They still have time to get a long term deal done with both Byrd AND Levitre, if they want to (and can). This just ENSURES that Byrd isn't going anywhere - good move!

You just don't get it - we should have already won the Super Bowl this season! Before FA. And the draft.

My head just exploded...

lol - so true judging by the Glazer confirmation!

FWIW, Patrick Moran just tweeted that he hears the Bills are still talking to SF about Smith: Despite reports that trade for Alex Smith is "effectively done" (rumor is KC), I hear the #Bills are still having discussions about him. Surprised the dislike for Smith here - every host that I've heard on Sirius NFL has done nothing but praise the guys work ethic, have said that he's a leader, he's played in a winning org, he's tough, he doesn't turn the ball over, etc. They said that KC will immediately win AT LEAST 8 games if they get Smith and they talked about what a coup it would be for Reid to get a QB like Smith. Not sure if he's our answer, but clearly there are tons of questions about the QBs in this class. At least Smith has done it before. And I'd rather trade a 3rd or 4th and use our top picks on other areas. If we suck again this year, we pick up another QB in next years strong QB draft and perhaps even trade Smith again (depending on what he does on the field).

And fresh off the twitterverse: David Nelson @DavidNelson86 Wow. If this is true- then I def do get al my info from twitter.. RT:@JasonColeYahoo: Bills not expected to tender RFA WR David Nelson lol - strange world we live in...
