Actually I'm pretty convinced that Whitner's facebook status thingie was a direct response to Dawgg's haterade.

I love this move in the wake of letting Pat Williams go like we did...effective DT's have longer shelf lives than other positions.

Haha Dawgg, Whitner called you out... From his facebook page...

Tim, what is the status of LeCharles Bentley? Clayton mentioned the Bills interest a few times. Does that guy have anything left?

I love when scrubs shoot their mouths off...dude is a back-up, guys like him are a dime a dozen. Half of the teams in the NFL could have signed this guy for marginal depth if they needed...

At least his English and grammar have gotten a bit better...a bit i know its been a long time since i left you witout some dope words to make fun of ... but im back in the yard to say whats up ... its been kinda rough dis last month on me... but i held it together and stayed strong ... i figured what don't kill me make me stronger... i know i messed up before and even fumbled, but it's something about me that a lot of people wouldn't believe... i put my shirt and pants on da same way u do... but on a nother note, we started workouts again and its time to do work all over again... hold ya chin up... nuh nuh nuh... gone http://www.yardbarker.com/users/MarshawnLynch

Quite the contrary...the league played out the "Bills play the Pats after their bye every year" card into the ground so they had to improvise.

Thanks for nothing chief.

Any relation to Jon?

Dockery isn't a 5.4 hit...he counted something like 6 million against the cap and cutting him was a 5.4 penalty...so the savings were only a half a million or so. That's a difference of 5 mil in your math.

Nope...it was pretty clear he meant that he was going to be under the microscope so to speak so he needed to watch his actions and stay out of trouble but of course people take the words literal and put them in whatever context they want.

I kind of agree. I think Kirwan rounded up and then exaggerated. 5 or 6 million in cap room really could go a long way if you wanted it to...especially with all of the cash to cap room the Bills have left.

Also the numbers for all FA's besides Owens are very inflated...I think I read Hantgartner and Fitz are both under 2 million cap hit this season.

That's what I'm guessing. Unless it's more than two games. I'm sure if he gets more than two the union will urge him to appeal, even if he doesn't want to, to preserve current precedent.

Hantgartner was a multi year deal so his cap number isn't necessarily his avg. annual.

IIRC even factoring in the hit for Dockery, we still saved about 500k on the cap. Or it might have been a 500k penalty. Either way it doesn't explain where the 7 mil. of cap room that went to Hangartner, Fitzpatrick, Florence and Thomas.

Who cares about cap room? How much cash to cap do they have left?

It's March 19th...what top names are still out there in FA?

How is his low post game?

I think the strategy could blow up in their faces if the labor unrest is settled. Apparently Parker is selling the Bills on guarding against all the big contracts that left tackles are going to get next year in the uncapped year and Jason needs to be compensated now if he misses out on the big money. Of course if the uncapped year is avoided then that extra compensation isn't necessary.

I heard he'll be gone for two years, you know, just to set an example.

You're right, all evidence points to Lynch being suspended for four games

When did we start expecting the mainstream media to be insightful? (No offense Tim)

So Tim...do you think Schefter's report on Peppers is accurate (ie. a NE deal is not imminent) Also, any news on Crowell?
