Eli? A second year QB throwing for 3,762 yards, 24 TD's and only 17 INT's is darn good.

So we should assume everyone is lying. Give me a break Clements hater. "We're definitely open for anything," Clements said. "All I can say is that I'm open and that I want to stay in Buffalo and I love Buffalo. If I was running the front office, I would take care of all of my guys." Winfield, is making over 5 mill a year... Ken lucas is making about 6 mill a year ... Anthony Henry is making about 5 mill a year ... I think Clements is AS GOOD or better than these players and he deserves to be paid just as much or more.

Many teams dont want to resign players before their contract is almost up because of a few reasons: 1. To get a great "contract" year out of them 2. To make sure they get the full value out of them before they award them even more money 3. They are too old (Steussie) Would you like to make a bet that everyone on your list will be re-signed with the exception of the first lineman you made? He may not be.

Maybe I am too tired to be thinking straight because I didnt know that this was your point the whole time. Sorry. That being said, we were in contract negotiations last year and he said he would like to come back to Buffalo ... but he just wanted to be paid properly. "I leave the contract situation up to my agent and the Bills management. I would love to stay in Buffalo, but at the same time, I want to be rightly compensated for my market value and what I can do out on the field." - Nate Clements Like it or not his market value WILL probably be around 6-7 mill

And where do we get these "better players" ?? Thin air?

I appologize for the large lettering, I just want people to see this ... Before we go further lets review the facts: 1. The Bills will most likely have near 30 MILLION in FREE CAP SPACE this off-season 2. Contrary to what you may think, all of the quality offensive/defensive lineman will most likely be re-signed by their team BEFORE Free Agency even starts. If not, then thats great! Go for it. But thats just not going to happen. 3. The Bills have a history of letting good players because they dont want to pay them or they think they would be overpaid. This led to the cuts of Pat Williams and Antoine Winfield. BLAH! I wish we had them now. 4. If the Bills let Clements go into free agency and sign with another team (he will be easy signed according to ESPN), we could sign every draft pick to whatever ammount of money they want, pick up the best FA scrubs, AND bring in some guys from NFL Europe or CFL or whatever and STILL HAVE about 20 MILLION in free cap space. So why not sign Clements his stupid contract, and build around the good player he is intead of taking a crap-shoot with another player. I would understand if we only had about 10 million to work with. But lets face it. We have more cap space that we can use. Bill Polians Colts are 6-0 ... do you know how much cap space they have??? 0

EXACTLY! Thats the point. They WILL be re-signed before free agency starts. Meaning we have 0 chance at even talking to them. Its not possible. Thus their are no quality FA's available.

I was actually really suprised seeing his stats. Much better than I thought they would be.

As I said. Look who posted the thread.

Stunning but true Edgerrin James = 662 rushing yards Rhodes & Addai = 649 rushing yards Edgerrin James = 172 receiving yards Rhodes & Addai = 175 receiving yards

Yep . And Peyton will take the fall by the media even though he had about .02 seconds to throw.

Agh! I didnt think of catches. Oh well. But yeah, the rushing yards are within about 15 yards of each other.

And yet they have just as many rushing yards this year as they had last year (up to this point) ... go figure

Look at the person who posted the thread.

Edge is no longer with the Colts and Peyton has 1600 yards, 12 TD's, and 2 INT's ... Now go check out Harrisons numbers BEFORE and AFTER Peyton arrived.

WHAT! What 0-line? We dont have an adequate 0-line. No, no, no ... this is the BILLS message board. Here is your teams message board .

Well I think part of the reason that Indi's 0-line looks so good is because Manning can make fast reads and get rid of the ball quickly. Not all the time. But much of the time.

Im not really impressed with Quinn as much this season. He doesnt seem to be playing as high caliber as he did last year.

I still laugh when I think that I noticed this in week 2 or something and got flamed for it by Lori and others ... but anyway .. we need to get another body buster in there like Fletcher was for us. On actual coverage, I have no idea.

I wonder how many straight years without them going to the SB it will take for Bills fans to stop comparing us to Patriot teams. As Dibs sayed below the only reason they didnt draft another QB is because they got lucky with Brady. No Brady = more QB picks.

Not that my opinion matters but I really would like a John Fox type of coach.

Did they sign a contract saying they wouldnt franchise him again? If not, then we can franchise him again if we want. If we can talk Nate down to a 4 year, 25 million dollar contract I would definately go with that. It will give him about 6 million a year.

Are you joking? Jordan Black is a backup Dwayne Carswell? I dont even see him on the FA list Derrick Dockery ... most likely signed before Free Agency Ryan Lilja ... RESTRICTED Free Agent. Bills probably wont touch him. Eric Steinbach ... most likely signed before Free Agency. If he is not we will have to outbid many other teams for his services Floyd Womack ... I honestly dont know much about him but he seems to be injured often as he has only started 15 games out of the past 4 seasons. Yeah thats someone I want. Someone who will give me 3-4 games a season. Todd Steussie ... I would love to have had Todd. 5 years ago that is. Lets face it. He is going to be in his 14th season next year, reaching near what? 36 or 37 years old? He has only started 10 games in the past 3 years. Not to be rude but your list is garbage. QUALITY lineman are re-signed and those who are not get swapped up QUICKLY.

Why dont people understand? THEIR IS NO ONE TO FIX THE LINES WITH! The FA's this year do not have quality lineman. Holy crap. Understand that people.

Ive heard in the past that you go to the website to cancel it?
