95altima12 Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Well I one of the reasons I asked was because this site mentioned: "The Bills signed Kevin Kolb, but he's not going to earn much money if he doesn't start. It's been reported by Peter King, among others, that Kolb's presence in Buffalo won't preclude Nix from selecting a quarterback with the eighth-overall pick." http://walterfootball.com/draft2013.php Not the best source in the world but I visit it often as they update there mock draft a lot. A buddy text me when the Bills were "interested" in Kolb making fun of us. I then told him I wouldn't mind Kolb to compete and maybe land as a back up for 2-3 mil. not 6.5
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Well I one of the reasons I asked was because this site mentioned: "The Bills signed Kevin Kolb, but he's not going to earn much money if he doesn't start.

I found this quote from King, if Walter is going off this they're overstating it. They make it sound like a report with a source when it's just speculation. "I think I like Kevin Kolb as a Bill, but if he thinks Doug Marrone is done acquiring passers, he's crazy. Still think the Bills pick a quarterback in the first or second round of the draft." http://m.si.com/2586539/palmer-flynn-moves-make-sense-but-theyre-not-guaranteed-fixes/
buffaloboyinATL Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 I dont believe it was an "unless" we sign him, I think he said "when" we sign him. Made it sound like a forgone conclusion. looking at the transcript, he said "no comment until it becomes official" kind of half way between unless and when.
Rubes Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 I think we should create some cool reasons why we should start hating Kolb for not signing the contract already.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 I think we should create some cool reasons why we should start hating Kolb for not signing the contract already. He's just negotiating with the Bills to entice other teams, and drive up his market value. He'll be a Dolphin shortly.
buffaloboyinATL Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 I think we should create some cool reasons why we should start hating Kolb for not signing the contract already. The deal is held up because Kolb found out that #24 is no longer available.
Dorkington Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 He's not officially signed yet. Only a "verbal agreement".
transient Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) The deal is held up because Kolb found out that #24 is no longer available. He was only coming here for the chance to play with an openly gay teammate, and since Gilmore is only changing jersey numbers he's reconsidering his options. Now that he's had time to think about it, he's not sure that he wants to stick his knuckle in the butt of the kid from Bad Santa, either. Edited April 4, 2013 by transient
Kelly the Dog Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 I think we should create some cool reasons why we should start hating Kolb for not signing the contract already. Kolb is cheap.
Buffaloed in Pa Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Alot of posters on here don`t want Kolb to come here. Just think maybe he doesn`t want to come to football hell. At least he had the weather in Arizona.Beggars can`t be choosers. Lets hope he signs.
Thurmal34 Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 He's insisting on Ralph's Taurus but Ralph won't budge.
Nanker Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Kolb wants to be his own QB coach and is holding out for that salary too.
Buffaloed in Pa Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Kolb wants to be his own QB coach and is holding out for that salary too. Why not ? Ours have been some real great ones.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 I have yet to see a breakdown of the contract/incentives. In fact, I have not seen any official announcement that he actually is signed. I too and interested and hopeful that it includes a good chunk of incentives. It would be frustrating if the Bills overpaid for a guys with so many question marks. This, searched the internet and nothing new on the signing - nothing basically since the agreement news 5 days ago. I did find this transcript of an interview with Greg Cosell which some may find interesting.
Tcali Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Kolb wants to be his own QB coach and is holding out for that salary too. maybe we can get him that guy who taught fitzy how to throw
Buffaloed in Pa Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 maybe we can get him that guy who taught fitzy how to throw maybe we can get him that guy who taught fitzy how to throw Must have taught Nassib how to throw deep also. String him up by his...well you know.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 maybe we can get him that guy who taught fitzy how to throw Must have taught Nassib how to throw deep also. String him up by his...well you know. Actually you wouldn't want to string him up right at the moment. He's the QB coach of the Jets. :w00t:

We don't have to waste big money while rebuilding. EJ 1st pick, if he doesn't work out , another 1st rd pick till we guess right. personally i dont want tjax to be the only veteran qb on this team. kolb is pretty much the best option they could have added bc he didnt cost picks and he still has the possibility of putting it together and playing like he did in spot duty in philly, which was good i would bet my house he makes less than three mil if he doesnt start. nice non-work if you can get it, but nothing close to the 6.5 mil he gets if he wins the job, keeps the job, and stays healthy all things considered this was a very good move by the bills, assuming they ever actually get him signed
