NewEra Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) Just saw it on espn, so no link How much is he gonna go for, considering his injuries. Is he worth investing in? For our team, it wouldn't make sense. But makes sense for contending teams that just hope he's healthy for the playoffs. Edited February 18, 2011 by NewEra
packfntk Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 HAHA, just posted this at my forum. I said that all the guys would be clammoring for him. He has played in 9 of the last 48 regular season games. Too bad, the guy is an absolute beast when on the field, but he just can't stay healthy. I would stay as far away from him as possible.
Dorkington Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 He'd be just as useful as Shawne Merriman.
packfntk Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 He'd be just as useful as Shawne Merriman. Good point, we have Justin Harrell that we have been holding on to the past 3 years.... He has played in 14 games in the past 3 years...... Pretty good for a #16 overall pick....

High Mark Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Ad rather have an injured Bob Sanders than a healthy Donte Whitner... because either way George Wilson is on the field!

I'm sorry, but I can't ignore that sig line of yours....you do realize that Marv came back here and basically made things much, much worse, don't you? He is not missed.
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 The difference being Merriman was picked up via waivers, so no bidding war, no signing bonus, etc.. Even with all of Sanders injuries, there likely will be bidding and a signing bonus of some degree involved. So could cost alot more for someone who doesn't work out. Even with Merrimans latest signing, it doesn't appear it will cost the Bills much if he doesn't work out. He'd be just as useful as Shawne Merriman.

H2o Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 I'd give him an incentive laden contract in a minute and let Donte walk.
Mike in Syracuse Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 I have an insider with the Colts organization. Word is they cut him to make room for a hard run at Donte Whitner. My source told me "a healthy Donte is basically the same as an injured Sanders and we don't have a lot of tweeters so he's a perfect fit".

He is not missed. The sig was made when we signed Gailey. It signifies that we need a good head coach. After last year, I must say I'm quite impressed with Gaileys offensive gameplan. Up to this point, ALL of our head coaches we disappointments. Marv was the last good coach we've had. Sure he had more talent, but he was still a good head coach. Marv as a GM was a debacle...you're misunderstanding the sig imo.

theesir Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Bob Sanders is a sad example of a great player whose body cannot handle the requirements of being an NFL player. He is a small framed man who has put on tremendous amounts of muscle. His tendons are just not designed or strong enough to support that muscle. If I am correct, his injuries have all been torn muscle, torn tendon related. The problem is if he gets "smaller" he is no longer the all-pro that he is.
truth on hold Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 From his comments, sounds like he's headed towards retirement anyway. Probably best thing for everyone.
Astrobot Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) Also: Rams cut FS O.J. Atogwe ---3rd best Free Agent Safety, after Weddle and Landry Texans cut FS Eugene Wilson Texans cut WR Andre' Davis Edited February 18, 2011 by Astrobot
Captain Hindsight Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Also: Rams cut FS O.J. Atogwe ---3rd best Free Agent Safety, after Weddle and Landry Texans cut FS Eugene Wilson Texans cut WR Andre' Davis Id like Atogwe i think hes a pretty good player
FluffHead Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Atogwe is an upgrade from whitner for sure....18 interceptions in 4 years. I admit I do not know if he is a SS or FS.
