Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 11, 2014 Author Posted March 11, 2014 We cant talk contract with Dan until 4pm today. He was on a one year Vet minimum contract. Even though he is UFA because of his contract teams cannot talk contracts with him til FA starts! Or someting like that! He is on his way to Buffalo CBF
BillnutinHouston Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Why have we not resigned Dan Carpenter? Maybe because the Bills like Dustin Hopkins - he has a stronger leg and is younger and cheaper.
Max997 Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Carpenter caught a flight from south Florida this morning to Buffalo...that's gonna be a shock to the system
snamsnoops Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Carpenter caught a flight from south Florida this morning to Buffalo...that's gonna be a shock to the system Dan played very well for us last year. He needs to improve on his kick-offs. Other than that, he would be a good sign seeing he was with the team last year. Hopkins was drafted and has a stronger leg, and is a bit of an unknown (injured rookie season). Could the bills use Hopkins on KO and Dan as our FG kicker. I wouldn't be in favor of this but i believe the bills did this a couple years ago. I think it would be a waste of a roster spot.
NDBUFFCUSEFAN Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Incarcerated Bob, hits on as many at the big guys. In the end you never know where the info is coming from . Team, agent., player, wife, friend , lawyer, ect, ect ect, No, IB lost any credibility when I followed him during Mario'12. He was a complete blowhard who threw crap at a wall hoping it would stick and then he would delete the comments when it didn't come true. Who did they use? no he really doesn't. His tweets and mouth talk about all he gets right. He deletes his wrongs. Gawker or dead spin or one of those sites did an investigative piece in to him to show he is a sham. He literally and personally attacks criticizers. He is a blowhard and a buffoon.He is sports entertainment at the most and is not the least bit a source. He uses his voice as a tool to make money on gambling sites.He owns a few and in the piece mentioned above he actually was shown to pick "locks" for opposing teams on each site/network. He then touts the correct pick as him knowing more and knowing something. He then takes only patsies for the other bets It's a bingo!
Fixxxer Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 @Buffalo Bills @buffalobills 40s Whaley on Byrd: "Status quo," lines of communication are still open. "The clock is ticking" Expand @ Mike Rodak @mikerodak 2m Whaley tells @WGR550 that the Bills have also “sent contracts out” to Alex Carrington and Arthur Moats.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Very surprised we offered Moats and Carrington contracts.
Fixxxer Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 @Mike Rodak @mikerodak 3m Whaley tells @WGR550 that “offers are on the table” for TE Scott Chandler and K Dan Carpenter. Hoping they return.
YoloinOhio Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Very surprised we offered Moats and Carrington contracts. They probably aren't very high and will make more elsewhere and leave.
sodbuster Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) What radio station will be the best to listen to for live FA information today? Edited March 11, 2014 by sodbuster
Cash Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 They probably aren't very high and will make more elsewhere and leave. I wouldn't be surprised if Carrington stayed, probably on a 1-year deal. Only other team I could see pursuing him might be Cleveland, since Pettine raved about him in camp. But he got hurt early, and did nothing in the brief time he played last year, so I can't imagine teams are beating down his door.
GG Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 What radio station will be the best to listen to for live FA information today? Bills app sent a notice that John Murphy is hosting a show noon- 3PM
Mark Vader Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Maybe because the Bills like Dustin Hopkins - he has a stronger leg and is younger and cheaper. So they can re-sign Carpenter, then let him & Hopkins battle it out during training camp.
sodbuster Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Bills app sent a notice that John Murphy is hosting a show noon- 3PM I should have been more specific. I mean 4 o'clock and beyond. Can I trust Schlub and the Lapdog?
NDBUFFCUSEFAN Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 I should have been more specific. I mean 4 o'clock and beyond. Can I trust Schlub and the Lapdog? That depends if you can hear or not.
GG Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 I should have been more specific. I mean 4 o'clock and beyond. Can I trust Schlub and the Lapdog? I would go to NFL.com or Sirius then. Since the Bills will not provide advance notice, the news will likely be leaked out by players' agents who have better contacts with national media (or more specifically to national reporters who are represented by the same agents )
YoloinOhio Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 I should have been more specific. I mean 4 o'clock and beyond. Can I trust Schlub and the Lapdog? Not unless you only want Sabres updates
Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 11, 2014 Author Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) http://espn.go.com/b...ee-agent-visits 30 minutes left everyone!! CBF Edited March 11, 2014 by Canadian Bills Fan
FLFan Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Very surprised we offered Moats and Carrington contracts. I am not surprised. They may as well make a low ball offer to both. I would be very surprised if either was back. Moats would seem to be a good fit for Pettine at a position of need and Carrington is represented by Parker.
Jamie Nails Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 I do like that free agency starts in the middle of the day now; no more Buddy asleep at the wheel comments; no more me staying up way late only to have the Bills sign no one.
