ChevyVanMiller Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 I'm all for a player recruiting to the team, but with a brand-new coaching staff and a lame-duck GM what does he really have to pitch?
Acantha Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 I'm all for a player recruiting to the team, but with a brand-new coaching staff and a lame-duck GM what does he really have to pitch? Great weather and low taxes.
Dibs Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Does he not get Buddy won't pay those guys? Yeah....it's been years since we landed a big name, high priced FA.
xsoldier54 Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Does he not get Buddy won't pay those guys? Right, we know this because he wouldn't pay Mario Williams or Mark Anderson last offseason. Oh wait.....
Dorkington Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Unless we are throwing the largest contract at someone, I doubt we'll sign them (see Mario). Not sure how much room we have to do that this year.
Big C Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 I think we can compete for a receiver position; there are plenty to go around. If only Goldson was a strong safety...
jcbillsfan Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 I think buddy would pay bowe if he gets a chance
Best Player Available Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 I'm all for a player recruiting to the team, but with a brand-new coaching staff and a lame-duck GM what does he really have to pitch? Well, there is the easy off season workout schedule.
Billsfan4ever14580 Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Props to Stevie for trying. I appeciate his level of enthousiasm. Everyone knows we could use some of that!
mob16151 Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Does he not get Buddy won't pay those guys? I truly hope this was sarcasm.
JOE IN HAMPTON ROADS Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Does he not get Buddy won't pay those guys? Stevie Johnson is cheap.

JPS Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 I hope the Bills sign no FAs until June and they actually keep and play their own draft choices. Cutting Tank Carder and Mark Asper last year was UNACCEPTABLE. Now people want to invest highly in a WR when the Bills just spent a 3rd on a WR. It's just no way to do business.

Seems to me that Stevie wouldn't be doing this if these guys weren't actually on the radar of the Bills. Right? That said, it could go either way. You don't exactly want to kill your negotiating power by begging for guys to sign with the Bills. I think until they get good, it will always be a tough sell and they will probably have to overpay regardless. I miss the days when the fans could win over a guy like Takeo Spikes. If there is any player in Bills history that I am more sad for, I can't think of one.
beerme1 Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 I'm surprised no one said wings. WINGS! Awesome freaking wings!!

If there is any player in Bills history that I am more sad for, I can't think of one. I'm actually serious. What's the use of having a 5th rounder or a 6th rounder just to cut them, especially when you have needs at those positions AND said cut players are on other NFL rosters. Mark Asper might be the Tom Brady of OGs for all we know, but we cut him to keep Collin Brown or some other FA junk. What junk did we keep at LB instead of taking a good look at Carder. Maybe they suck, but we'll never know.
