Nanker Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 Possibly. Supposedly the Bills matched Jacksonville's 6-year $42 million $15 guaranteed offer to Poz two years ago (which if there was not a regime bias) means they valued Poz more than they did Levitre, who got 6 years, $46 million with $10 million guaranteed. Another possibility is that the Bills thought that they were closer to being a winner in 2011 than they believe they are now. Common man. Poz was Ralph's pick. He lusted after Penn State and their LBs. That skews everything w/w/t an objective analysis.

Rubes Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 I saw Kurt Schultz trip on the sidewalk yesterday. Served him right for going to Detroit 13 years ago. Well played, sir.
BaaadThingsMan Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Didn't Antoine Winfield tear his acl or something similiar in consecutive years after he left the Bills? Hmmm.. ...took a few years but he ended up pretty good for them for a long while save a few more dings along the way

I_want_2_BILL_Lieve Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Didn't Antoine Winfield tear his acl or something similiar in consecutive years after he left the Bills? Hmmm.. Did you mean Nate Odomes with Seattle?
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 How can anyone not root for Levitre? This guy was our team's best player the last 5 years. We made zero effort to re-sign him. Not his fault.
BaaadThingsMan Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) Oh yeah Nate Odomes sorry thank you. I couldn't remember which CB it was but remembered a tough time injury wise for some former Bill so yeah I guess I was arguing in my own head lol You two aren't gonna start arguing are you?

CBD Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) I'm sure he passed a physical, had no pre-existing conditions, and somehow just tweaked it. Most likely bad luck for Levitre and the Titans. "Details on the guard's surgery were vague Friday. The Tennessean noted that Levitre underwent the procedure last season, but he played all 16 games for the Buffalo Bills. It's possible that the surgery occurred just after the season in early January. Levitre did have an injection in the knee late last October, but former coach Chan Gailey made it clear that it was not a surgical procedure. Levitre still was dealing with soreness this week and acknowledged that the recovery is going slower than expected. The good news is he hopes to resume individual drills before OTAs end." http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000208338/article/andy-levitre-slow-to-recover-from-knee-surgery Edited June 1, 2013 by Carey Bender

Doc Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 I still don't see how you justify paying a guy who hasn't even made a token Pro Bowl, a $9M/year contract? That's how the Bills ended-up with Dockery.
Max997 Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Levitre will be missed by this team but as happens with most players that switch teams signing big contracts minor things pop up usually because they got out of their offseason routine or simply didnt put the time in they usually do after getting paid
1B4IDie Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 They Drafted Warmack. Levitre has a boo-boo on his knee because he knows he'll be playing RG no matter what happens. He is a vet. Just take some time off. So now the Titans have an $8Mil RG. Where RG is probably the easiest of the 5 Oline positions to play. That is what happens when your HC is a HoF guard. oops!

The Titans still have no QBs, they're in the same predicament as us. We have money tied up in DL and they have it in the OL.
NoSaint Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Seriously, how does an NFL team put so much $$$ at guard? PTR Not even tops in the league.
CardinalScotts Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 And what would we all be saying if the Bills paid Levitre $9M and found this out? Incompetent front office that doesn't do it's due diligence? PTR absolutely..I did a little investigating per google.....it's not sour grapes the guy is recovering slower than expected
1B4IDie Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 The Titans still have no QBs, they're in the same predicament as us. We have money tied up in DL and they have it in the OL. The Bills have $20 M in Cap Space. Mario Williams Contract has not caused any problems at all whats so ever when it comes to signing FAs. There is no as in NO Cap issue in Buffalo. Its frustrating to see people mention this over and over and over again. I hated Shlocker coming out of College. He has actually impressed me. I think Locker will be a good QB. So Basically there are very little similarities between the Titans Situation and the Bills. They do both play in the AFC though.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) OTAs tend to bring out all the vets injuries. It's nothing serious unless he misses part of camp. It would be bizarre if he did start having issues as he was mr durable in buf. Edited June 1, 2013 by over 20 years of fanhood
