and a torn acl

 

Yup...wouldn't be an upset if he were released--I woul expect they'll give him every chance to get healthy though, especially considering they're likely to cut Will Smith and don't have much beyond Galette at pass rusher

That would make more sense, although he's a restricted FA so not likely

He pulled a Byrd-like "injury" during the first part of SD's season... very unhappy with his contract, we'll see what SD does because they really need a lot in the secondary and had a bad contract with Derek Cox who ended up sitting the bench.

Indeed--like Byrd though, he's an excellent player that they can ill afford to lose

Personally, I agree with you. He is a big play guy. Without looking up their cap space I think they may be slim there, I know the new GM was left with a mess by AJ Smith. Rivers,Weddle and Gates eat up a lot. I think they will do whatever they can to sign him and making the playoffs probably helps him want to stay.

Dansby would signify to me that they feel ready to challenge next year as it really would be a very short term gain.

I just read somewhere that it was promised to Pepper he would be the DC if Shwartz got an HC job down the road. I will have to remember where I saw that, it would have been either this board or twitter. Sounds like it is in his contract.

I dont thinks its a fact. But it was to a degree said by Pepper. He told Buffalo he is looking for the opportunity and thats why he came on board.

No need to look it up i dont think. its was on 1BD and PFT.

Whether he has what it takes remains to be seen. I am very much looking forward to how he fairs over A Weaver . and again , we may never know , but how much dialogue he brings to the overall defense under Jim .

If i had a leaning , i think the Bills know exactly what they have in Pepper .

We had him here last offseason and could not or would not sell Buffalo to him.

He went on to be JUST the player we needed and now need.

But he played so well either he will be retained or too darned expensive.

So no i guess in FA i dont know the best bet. Mark. I expect the draft will supply that for Bills though

 

Free agency is why all this draft talk is a mute point at present because the holes filled in FA will then dictate where we draft.

Buddy Nixon and I highly doubt that anyone would be promised a promotion before their first day on the job. Promised that he would be considered? Perhaps. Anything more is hogwash.

It is fact that Pepper said it's his goal .

Nothing wrong with that at all. Why he couldnt move up through Bellichick ranks after all those years gives me pause though. just a little .

Even be put in a position to ensure he is immersed in situations which will increase his experience in readiness for promotion but I agree, not going to promise him a promotion.

If Byrd gets signed, I exhale and think the rest will come together. That's where I am at right now. They had a great draft last year in their 1st year together (Marrone and Whaley) and I expect them to again. I don't care where EJ was drafted, we needed a QB and they took the best one for this team and their system and got an extra pick for the near DROY at the same time. They could not foresee he would miss 6 games. Go Whaley, get Byrd.

Two very different things. Nixon states that Johnson was promised the job. Of course he aspires to it. Shirley you see the difference?
