BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 I don't think it's a big deal to the caliber of players they are bringing in for visits. They can very possibly double their best offers signing in Buffalo. It's easy to do at those salary levels. Different story with premium, proven talent. I agree for the most part, although reading some of the interviews with the Bills brass that were posted today after the Williams signing I definitely got the vibe they wanted to bring in more than just Williams and Carroll today but were stalled due to weather.
NickelCity Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 This is exactly the type of CB we should bring in. I, for one, will be pleased with this signing.
Jamie Nails Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Any word? Has he given into Stockholm syndrome yet?
BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 I'd be shocked if he signs with us before shopping the offer we gave him around first.
machine gun kelly Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Very physical CB...to be honest, CB isn't a huge need and he'd be fighting for a 3rd or 4th CB spot. Would be a good addition for depth purposes. I wouldn't mind him at all in certain packages against our bigger WR.
26CornerBlitz Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 If an outside call comes in to OBD for Carroll and/or his agent, hang up dammit....hang up!
Estro Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 There was a report that Miami told him to go out and see what his value ws and then come back to them with a chance to match. If he's not signed today, he's more than likely moving on. We'll see.
BADOLBILZ Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 If an outside call comes in to OBD for Carroll and/or his agent, hang up dammit....hang up! "The Houston Gamblers are on the phone...." The Bills..... I'd be shocked if he signs with us before shopping the offer we gave him around first. When I heard Chris Williams was coming in I knew that was a done deal. He is cold product. Carroll is just kind of an under the radar guy without a lot of bad tape like Williams. He can probably be more selective. What I like about Carroll coming in is that the team seems to realize they need more talent at CB and that the draft isn't the only way to get it.
Peter Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 If an outside call comes in to OBD for Carroll and/or his agent, hang up dammit....hang up! I know Buffalonians are friendly, but I really hope Buffalo Bills employees never make this mistake again.
Sumin Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) We just signed Corey Graham, so I doubt Carroll is in the mix now, unless they are looking at him as a potential safety. Edited March 12, 2014 by Sumin
YoloinOhio Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Mark Gaughan @gggaughan 29m Nolan Carroll's visit with Bills still ongoing & that was plan all along. Obv they knew about storm. Expect depart tmrw--with or w/o a deal
Doc Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 If the plan is to play him at safety, I could be on board. Otherwise no.
Nanker Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 They jsut signed Corey Graham from Baltimore. How many corners do they need?
26CornerBlitz Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 They jsut signed Corey Graham from Baltimore. How many corners do they need? The ghosts of Crezdon Butler, TJ Heath, and Justin Rogers will haunt you tonight.
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 OK, I'm glad that they haven't slammed this door shut yet. Like Doc mentioned, and other people have pointed out, his size and ball skills seem desirable and his decreased speed would be less of an issue. That would make for a potent backfield.
26CornerBlitz Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 @mikerodak Per @AdamSchefter, the Eagles have signed CB Nolan Carroll, who the Bills hosted on a free-agent visit Wednesday.
YoloinOhio Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I wonder if the blizzard cost him some money. Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora 6m Nolan Carroll's 2yr deal with the Eagles is worth $5.25M, but has a max of over $7M with attainable playing time bonuses and incentives
White Linen Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora 6m Nolan Carroll's 2yr deal with the Eagles is worth $5.25M, but has a max of over $7M with attainable playing time bonuses and incentives Seems like a reasonable contract to me that I would have been happy with if the Bills signed him at that.
