SRQ_BillsFan Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 What else do the money gues have to do right now? Seems like both sides are posturing, waiting for the other side to come to them. Not good when the Bills posture, or dig in. Just don't get it... Doesn't exactly make Stevie feel loved? I hope I am wrong and that this is not the case and this gets done. I realize that there is plenty of time left now but it goes by quickly. And that what the Sabres kept saying about two guys one June.

nucci Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 I think if Johnson was going to be re-signed by the Bills it would have happened already. Very rare that players re-sign with their same team once free agency starts. Sucks but I think he's gone.

If I were him I'd probably already be thinking about seeing where else I can go. Edited January 28, 2012 by Pondslider

Post-game interview All Star Chris Kelsay was re-signed after the 2006 season just before UFA. Drayton Florence hit the market and came back just last year. Regardless, it's not a good sign that there have been no talks and Berchtold, Brandon, and the boys will need to get the spin machine cranking if SJ doesn't return. Unless of course they sign a huge free agent, which hasn't happened since Takeo Spikes 9 years ago.
The Big Cat Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 FOLKS!! It's January!! FA BEGINS MARCH 13...46 DAYS!! 6 WEEKS!!

The Bills needed to wrap him up this time last year. Jarius Byrd / Levitre anyone? And he was already thinking about where he would be next year about halfway through this past season.

drinkTHEkoolaid Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Sigh.... why does this not sunrise me
BuffaloRebound Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Nix seems like a pretty straight shooter. I'm sure they'll try to keep Johnson for the right price. Not sure what the franchise tag is WR's, but that might be the best route to go with Johnson. Make him prove he can produce another year and be antic-free before committing long-term money.
Captain Hindsight Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Cant we just put jasper at WR and be done with it
