Lv-Bills Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 LMAO. You can't even make this kind of stuff up. I never wanted Meachem in the first place, but I would have been happy because he's an upgrade over Jones. I would have paid Garcon what he wanted myself to pair with Stevie for the next five years. However, what a fuggin dick. Unless, he told the Bills tonight that SD offered more and he and the Bills parted ways amicably, he's a flat out dickhead, and I wish him nothing but ill will in the future. My god, this organization keeps getting kicked in the dikk. And AJ Smith to boot. Jesus.
Omar Little Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 I really couldn't care less about Meachem - he's background noise. It's all about Williams. Get him and the free agency period is a huge success.

It's nice that they recognize the magnitude the Chargers offered Meachem. He must have been giddy. I agree with Barry...this whole free agency hinges on Mario...

He must have been giddy. I agree with Barry...this whole free agency hinges on Mario... This was Meachem's pay day and chance to be a #1 WR. He wasn't going to be that here and he probably wasn't getting an offer like the Chargers. The goal is still Mario Williams and if he signs tomorrow people won't care about Meachem.
maddenboy Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) of course this raises the spectre that is in the back of our minds. Are people still using us, after all these years, as the team that negotiates their "real" contract with the other team that they really want to be with? I mean, did he even visit San Diego? I know he came to buffalo. So we can wine and dine, and the other team just faxes over a $$ number, and he goes instantly with the other team? What's that? I think we all know what that is.

Zulu Cthulhu Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Whoa. A lot of people taking this one way too personally. It's robert meachem, guys, nothing to get excited about. So he decided to go to SoCal with a much better QB than we have here. I dont really blame him. He's a borderline 2 WR anyways. Give me a blindfold and a dartboard and i'll find u a rookie meachem in the 4th round of the draft this year.
Peter Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) I am not taking this personally. I just want him to f**k himself. Whoa. A lot of people taking this one way too personally.

thepizzaking Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 According to ESPN the SD offer was a magnitude above what ANYONE else was offering, including us. I don't even think the Bills care too much, or really even blame Meacham, given the price SD was willing to pay. Plus, my timeline may be off, but I think the news that Jackson signed with TB broke after Meacham was on his way here. It's likely SD called up and flat out said "blank check if you come here." Why is that an indictment of the Bills? We have a plan and acceptable salary ranges. Breaking the bank over Meacham would have made no sense. Breaking it over Williams does, imo.

This is what I tried to point out above - I think SD blew every other out of the water. They were desperate.

Seriously, you dont even know the guy. SD offered way more money than anyone else. Yet Meachem should go f**k himself. Edited March 14, 2012 by Beerball Inappropriate comment
The Rev.Mattb74 ESQ. Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 the article said 14 million guaranteed over the first two years. At seven mill a year why not pony up another 1.5 a year and keep vj
EldaBillsFan Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 I said from the start not a fan of meachem I just like that we were aggressive

I understand this and agree. It just makes me more nervous that another team will do this to Mario and sweep him outta here. GET THE INK ON THE PAPER NOW!!
Dorkington Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Not surprised. I really have a feeling we won't sign anyone notable... as usual. Even if we try.
Wayne Cubed Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 As I said in another thread, San Diego overpaid for a player who put up D. Nelson type numbers in the most prolific pass offense ever. Can't blame the Bills for not trying to match or for Meachem takin the deal. M. Williams situation is different because its doubtful anyone will come over the top and offer more money than the Bills currently are.
bkep32 Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 I thought meachem would have been a good addition, we still need a solid WR-2. I know he is not all that but would have liked his skill set for us. Do you think bills will make a run at mario manningham if they get the deal done soon with super mario?

Doesn't mean we get Williams - but it doesn't mean we don't either. Hang in there Bills fans!
BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 we are a joke. like 8 wrs sign and we dopn't getone?
BobChalmers Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 we are a joke. like 8 wrs sign and we dopn't getone? they aren't done yet - multiple WR's still out there... only one legit pass rusher though...
NoSaint Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Well I've gotten confirmation on two rumors I'd heard through the years. The reasons he was always low on the saints depth chart was in fact tied to 1)it took him a looooooong time to digest the offense. I'm talking 2 full seasons to be able to be 100% up to speed on the playbook 2) Coaches (and drew) hated his tendency to catch with his body, not hands. Probably not a great thing for an erratic arm like fitzs. At those dollars I'm ok passing (though I'm not surprised at the total money - had been saying 6+ and as deals came out today ventured that would be too low)
