Nix just said the team isn't close to the cap and can sign "anyone we want who makes us better". Next season the BILLS MUST spend to 89% of the cap number. This makes that easier to reach.

Buddy just said the goal is to get Freddie done before training camp and to ensure he ends his career as a BILL.

Welcome to the party, pal. For the first time in awhile, we're not in "whoa is me" mode!

There are people who listen to Cowherd? Really?

Which simply makes them as stupid as anyone who blindly supports Democrats and Republicans.

We're going to get a freakin' million views on this thread before it's over. Ridiculous.

I get that "every situation is different" but the BILLS are apparently willing to make this guy the highest paid defensive player in the NFL and have had "sole custody" of him in a very public manner for what is essentially eternity in this day and age. The message that gets sent if they fail to close is going to resonate, and will at least be in the back of every agent and player's mind. They'll simply use us to drive up the price that they can get somewhere else, regardless of whether it's actually the most money the player could sign for.

I'd say he was pretty great at catching the most important pass on the most important drive of the Super Bowl. There's at least that.

I think there are ample reasons, virtually daily, to question the ethics of the "for profit" media - and it's not at all envy. More of a check and balance that is required.

According to Graham, the BILLS have pulled out "all the stops". If he doesn't sign, that means the franchise is likely doomed for serious free agents until Ralph is gone. That would really suck.

The guy did his job. That hardly makes him a PoS.

You've missed nothing. Well, except some people like their women like they like their coffee. Ground up and in the freezer. There's no real news on the signing front. NONE.

Not surprising. Shefter's about half retarded on his best day.

5000 posts? Rank amateur.

So does anyone with even a minor understanding of the CBO, Congress, and open ended leftislation.

I loved Michael Floyd in college - basically "Megatron Lite". Not quite as big, not quite as fast but a serious handful who never seems to drop anything. I don't know about picking him at 10.

He may be trying to accomplish something that's a sure loser. Santorum is unelectable for President. He's way too big a nutto.

Keith Newman started 42 games in Buffalo and 77 in the NFL. Robert Hicks started 21 games before he wrecked his knee in his third season. I remember him absolutely stoning Jason Taylor every time the two faced off. EVERY time. Bryce Fisher played 7 seasons in the NFL and started 50 games. Shawn Bryson played 7 seasons and started 27 games. I'll grant that the players with the most "impact" were the 3 you stated but Butler left no stone unturned when he was with the organization and had 4 teams in 6 seasons that won at least 10 games. That's hardly a "terrible" job.

Great justification, retard.

Less tweeting, more lifting, Merman.

Typical idiotic revisionist history. Butler was in the BILLS' front office from 1987 on. He was instrumental in putting together "Polian's" teams and then continuing the winning tradition. He then went on to SD where he drafted Tomlinson and Breese in his first draft. He's as important a front office guy in the history of this team as anyone not named Polian. The BILLS record from 1993-2000 was 54-42. They made the playoffs 4 times in 6 seasons. That was including the 1994 season (his first) when the team went from the division lead to out of the playoffs in the final 3 weeks and the season that Jim Kelly retired. The other 4 seasons they went 10-6 three times and 11-5. WE HAVEN'T MADE THE PLAYOFFS SINCE. During that time: He drafted Peerless, Winfield, Wiley, Nails, Moulds, Cowart (probably the most underrated BILL of all time), Ruben, Holecek, Sam Rogers, Burris, Reimersma, Dusty Ziegler (78 career NFL starts), Ken Irvin (142 Games, 72 starts), Keith Newman (102 NFL games, 77 starts), and Sean Moran (120 NFL games). He also drafted Marlon Kerner and Damian Covington, each of whom was starting to be a force when injuries ended their careers prematurely. Brought in Pat Williams as a rookie FA, Ted Washington, Chris Speilman (team record 206 tackles), Bryce Paup (MVP), Tim Tindale, Quinn Early, Flutie, Ethan Albright (236 games as a long snapper)and signed Wade Phillips as DC. He had exactly one bad draft, the last one. And he "left us in cap hell" because they tried to win the SB and still had Thurman, Bruce, and Andre to keep happy. Had Ralph not meddled in the QB situation and the MCM not happened... Horse ****. Donahoe's biggest "blunder" was believing Bledsoe still had something left in the tank. Parcells made the same mistake a few years later. Donahoe brought in Sam Adams, London Fletcher, and Takeo Spikes. Every one of them was an excellent player for us. Sell stupid somewhere else. We're all full up here.

There's a lot to like from Williams' perspective. Playing next to Dareus and KW with Nick Barnett behind him? That, along with about 95 million other "reasons", wouldn't suck.
