>>>>>I also do not think he'll have any effect on our attempts to deal Travis... Because Travis is more a proven commodity - though one who also proved he has problems (off field issues, running the mouthitis, fumblitis, and injury prone)... <<<<<
Jason, I think that you just answered your own question.

I saw that kid on the nfl channel college show, and have been touting him since. R.Rich and Jokeman like him, and I am waiting to hear what Badolbilz thinks about him.
From what I saw, he runs like Travis with speed (although admittedly not as strong).
He is mentioned on the TBD college boards, which I hope people show interest in this year.
-
I agree, they will not pay him 1.5 mil. Perhaps a renogation would be in order.

I think so Tom. In fact, imo they need 2.
If a LG is available via free agency who can play a comparable game to CV at RG, the Bills OL would be vastly improved. I like Tucker, and he could be a great backup, or perhaps even a center if Teague is moved to LT.
I would also want to draft another one. The steelers keep putting forth these monsters, and imo, they make Staley and an old Bettis appear to be better than they would perhaps be under other conditions.
Whadda ya think?
PS: Not that it matters, but the Bills did pretty well with the last UFA they signed from the packers.

Edwards seems like a good guy, but he is untouchable despite despite nonsensical rantings, threatening a reporter, violent sideline outbursts, issuing the owner an ultimatum, etc.
Hackett is the latest fall guy, but Edwards is the problem. Thank goodness he is coaching the jests.

As I recall, his cap hit is approx. 1 mil. Steep? Perhaps, but he is a very good special teams player.
During one of the games, one of our players screwed up (I think it was #19) and PP was yelling at him, "We dont do that here!" It was great to hear.
He may not be much of a db, but I am very hesitant to screw around with those oh so special teams. They impressed me as much with coverage than with runbacks.
I hope that he stays.

C'mon...he's not that bad. Small, shifty, a strong runner, gives great effort. Not an every-down back, but a nice change from McGahee when needed. And I'll take players like him or Damien Covington (RIP) who actually put forth some effort on the field over stiffs like Travis "Me, block?" Henry.
Your anti-Travis rants are becoming tiresome.
Please show a little more respect for this sure fire first round trade bait.
PS: This back from Denver being on the market does NOT help at all.
-
Great work! Do you have any ideas at running back, assuming of course that Henry will be gone? I told you mine already.

LA, what is Johnson's contract status and salary, do you know?
-
Actually sfd, rb is one of the positions where value is often found in later rounds.
Dallas just got one in round 2, no? Also, Terrell Davis was a 6th round pick.
Imo, the guys that teams truly need to grab right away LTs and DEs, not rbs.

I understand where you're coming from, but really, do you think he's just BS-ing? I don't. The Bills allowed him to do the leg work for a possible trade. I'm sure he and his agent have been hitting the street non-stop ever since. I also believe that with the press he's generating from his search, if any of the teams he claims have expressed interest, really haven't, we'd have heard a response.
Bob, here is what I think he is doing....just my opinion mind you.
You stated that the Bills gave HIM the right to seek a trade. In actuality this is true, but the task belongs to his agent.
I have represented many workers at the union level. Sometimes, I would have things worked out with supervisors before the actual grievance hearing. Then at the hearing, the employee, instead of shutting up and letting me do my job, would make an inflamatory statement and actually impede the process.
I think that Travis, not known for brains, should keep quiet and let his professional agent handle things. Makes sense, don't you think?
-
Thanks Big Boys! Now, you are all getting a tax increase because you are rich.
Bye!

Yes, they do have a second round pick. If they give it to us for Travis Henry, then my name is Hillary Clinton.
The odds are about equal.
-
Very simple my friend. BR is a rookie. End of story.
That is why I think that the Bills will not make it with JP next year Mark. BR did all he could to blow the game vs the jests and was very lucky.
Rookies do not win superbowls.

I think that the fact Henry is under contract makes him far easier for the Bills to trade than Peerless as an FA.
The Bills were scheduled to recieve and were owed nothing for Peerless as an FA, but, we have Travis under contract for another year and TD has made the approriate noises about wanting to keep him here while also allowing him to do TDs work by aggressively shopping himself around/
TD is also far more tradeable than PP because a team had to trafe and sign for PP in order to make the deal work. A team can trade for TH and work him out or even see how he plays for a few games if they wish and then sign him if he merits it.
PP amd TH are not a perfect analogy for each other at all. The Bills have far more cards and a lot more leverage to trade Henry. We had to create leverage by putting the transition tag on Price, but this would have been a risky maneuver for us except Blank had already publicly promised to the fans and to Vick he would do what was necessary to bring him in. He thought that was going to simply be a big contract, but because of his big mouth it became a 1st round pick also.
>>>>> We had to create leverage by putting the transition tag on Price<<<<<
The Bills lost their transition tag about 10 years ago. They no longer have one as per the players agreement.
They named Price the Franchise Player and removed the tag in order to trade him.

Even the Georgia thing is quite old.
I am sorry, but that article looked like the writer read this board and gave a compilation of our thoughts, especially wrt Travis.

Sunny, do you ever write a post that is less than 1,000 words?
He mentioned that the Bills could of "had the best of both worlds."
Are we to take that to mean he could have co-existed with McGahee, but the team did or said something that ruined that? I take it to meant that as long as he was put back in as the starter right away yhe would have been happy.
Good point. This is what I am trying to get across. He wants a trade, right? Well TD gave his agent permission to seek one. Now Travis, (not known for his brains), would be well served to simply shut up and let his agent do his job.
-
FFS, please answer this, on the premise that top 5 backs want top 5 money.....
Do you think he is doing his agent a service with his comments? If you were his agent, would you be happy that he declared himself to be a great player considering the salary issue, or would you rather that he kept quiet, and let you do the negotiating?

Bills Offseason Moves

Thanks for raising interesting possibilities in your initial post. I must disagree with two points that you raised:
1) DEs are VERY hard to get, especially good pass rushers. Teams will not trade one for a rb with issues galore (Henry)and a bad wideout (Reed).
2) Kyle Turley was said to have lost a lot of weight (roids related?) and threatened to assault his headcoach. He is also not a better RT than Williams, who makes a trillion dollars. Bad fit.
