silvermike Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 I guess we weren't ready to outbid them. I'm not sure he's worth more than that. http://twitter.com/JasonLaCanfora/status/10441258205
bkc Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 max of 6 million but wanted a grt to start. who's next on the list ?
sharper802 Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 wow ! If would bet our offer was better than that I'm sure the money the FO could have offered was better. The chance to play for a title next year, or the year after that probably was the difference. And that is the state of your Buffalo Bills. Can't even get a middle to low tier FA to come. And to think we had hopes of Cowher, Shanahan, Wilfork, Dansby.... What a joke...
DanInUticaTampa Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 I was expecting him to take some bigger money. Not saying he was worth a big contract, but it seemed like he was going to be a player that somebody was going to overpay. I bet if he continues to get better he can still get a large contract when his two years are up. I hope this means the bills have their eyes on someone better than him. But I am glad they looked at him and brought him in.
silvermike Posted March 13, 2010 Author Posted March 13, 2010 I'd say that Hollis Thomas and Grady Jackson are the only remaining UFAs with the heft to play NT. They're both old men and I'm not sure if either actually have NT experience. Any RFAs out there worth looking at cost at least a #2, which is more than I want to pay for that bunch. I think we're looking to the draft for NT.

Chalkie Gerzowski Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 max of 6 million but wanted a grt to start. who's next on the list ? Patrick Kennedy D-RI ???
BillsVet Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 wow ! If would bet our offer was better than that 3 mediocre UFA's in. 2 leave without signings a contract. Pro personnel and Overdorf are working wonders this year. Jimmy Kennedy said he wanted a chance to win so he signed with a team that could have a chance if Favre returns. People know the Bills are in full on rebuild mode and not going to win more than 5 games next season.
billnutinphoenix Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 Jimmy Kennedy...wow!!!...Guess our standard were real low....
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 he is fired up he has some spare time now... after leaving congrass. maybe Evan Bayh could chip in as well.
dwight in philly Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 he has some spare time now... after leaving congrass. maybe Evan Bayh could chip in as well. political statement?.. love it, i got my ass reamed for making a politically tinged statement

John from Riverside Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 Seriously just stop bringing in free agents and start aquiring picks..... We will biuld through the draft So Jimmy wanted a chance to start? R.I.G.H.T.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 Seriously just stop bringing in free agents and start aquiring picks..... We will biuld through the draft So Jimmy wanted a chance to start? R.I.G.H.T. Yep. In his post-visit interview he stated two things...that he'd like to be a starter (and this is still possible with both members of the Williams Wall still awaiting a decision on their suspensions resulting from the pending verdict in the Starcaps Trial)...and that he'd like a chance at a ring. Most likely he played the Bills for a few extra bucks in Minnesota. I suspect the Buffalo offer was better than the Minnesota offer but that it was not good enough to make him sign here. Minnesota might have even told Kennedy and his agent to visit elsewhere to set his market value and that they would determine if they could come close to it. Oh yeah, there was also the issue of playing in a 3-4 after playing his whole career in a 4-3. Oh well, he would have made a nice addition.
Spillerwich Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 wow ! If would bet our offer was better than that If our offer wasn't better than that. Nix has a plan we just cant figure out
BillsVet Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 Seriously just stop bringing in free agents and start aquiring picks..... We will biuld through the draft So Jimmy wanted a chance to start? R.I.G.H.T. Kennedy wanted a chance to win, get paid and not move his family. Pretty simple, and he probably got more than Buffalo was offering. How does this team intend to acquire picks? They've got nothing anyone wants in trade, unless Lil' Donte fetches a 6th or 7th. Who else on this team do they have the depth to trade? Getting rid of Lynch means they've gotta find a backup. Perhaps they could trade someone out of the secondary, as that's the only place Dick Levy could build. At some point, fans need to admit to themselves that not signing free agents they bring in means something is wrong.

If we had given him that contract, the posts would have been "What a joke - we bring in a 1st round bust and call it an answer at DT"
