dave mcbride Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 (edited) welp, they cut McGahee this year after a couple of lackluster seasons. lets see how great they make Evans... Mcgahee actually had a pro bowl season his first year with the ravens and rushed for 12 TDs two years ago. Re Spikes: http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Chargers-add-Spikes-Clary-McMichael.html .

Sisyphean Bills Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Unless I'm completely misremembering things, Pat Williams was willing to take less money to stay in Buffalo, and the front office was disinterested. Yep. They kicked him to the curb, and he said the team was run "by idiots" afterwards. Sort of like the notion that the Bills couldn't have used Haloti Ngata because he wasn't versatile enough to play in their system du jour.
OldTimer1960 Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Pat Williams, Greer, Winfield, Clements, Jim Leonard, Peters, Fletcher, Spikes, Lynch, add Poz to that list now. These aren't exactly cast-aways. Most/all left as free agents. It isn't like the Bills just couldn't recognize that they were any good and cut them (other than Leonard). If I could have two "take backs" it would have been Pat Williams and Antoine Winfield.
Cynical Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 They cut him because they have a young Ray Rice and are deep at RB. He was pretty good for them and they more than got their value out of him considering how little they gave up to get him. Baltimore got screwed on that deal. The Ravens coughed up 3 draft picks (2 thirds and a seventh), and threw a crap load of money at him (he became the 5th highest paid RB in the NFL) He had one good year, that's it. By year 2, Willis was on Harbaugh's **** list for the same things he did while in Buffalo. It was McGahee's lack of commitment and lackadaisical attitude that allowed Ray Rice the opportunity to shine.
