MiltonWaddams Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Doug has him locked in the basement. He's having a heart to heart with Berchtold, whose office is down there. Berchtold said that when asked why he decided to sign with the Bills, the answer is never "they offered the most money" or "the other players here at my position suck so I think I'll play a lot." It's always, always "The fans" followed by an anecdote about when you played here that one time and the fans were so into it and the atmosphere was college-like. This....is the truth. Maybe not the basement as that is demeaning and not the way in which to start a fruitful relationship, but this conversation assuredly happens. I can actually see it happening via "Skype" in a boardroom, but in fact it just being a pre-recorded generic message repeated over and over to all signed free agents.
Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) Carr just signed with the Ravens. Someone heard me say there are alot of CBs left. lol. Going fast now.

turbo044 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Snead is a tricky contract value to derive though, with the injury
Mikie's Bills Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Snead is a tricky contract value to derive though, with the injury I'd make it a 2 yr deal since he is most likely on PUP or IR next season with low guaranteed money in the 2nd year but with incentives based on games played.
Saint Doug Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Snead is a tricky contract value to derive though, with the injury His agent probably doesn't think so. If he was injured during the season, would we dock his pay? His agent likely doesn't care or find it relevant that he has been injured.
thebandit27 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 I think Shead is a must sign now that Carr & Claiborne are off the borad I wasn't hot on either Carr or Claiborne. Shead, Alterraun Verner, or Sam Shields are the guys on my list.
John from Riverside Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 the injuries must just have been too much of a risk on Claiborne
JohnBonhamRocks Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 now that this had turned into a thread about all FA CB options, how do people feel about Jerraud Powers from Baltimore? Link to Frazier, plus he's fairly versatile and experienced.
quinnearlysghost88 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Which means in typical Bills fashion, he won't. No, no. Typical Bills fashion is signing a guy who is going to start the season on the PUP list. We're going to get him.
Saint Doug Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 No, no. Typical Bills fashion is signing a guy who is going to start the season on the PUP list. We're going to get him. I don't see how this would matter. Let'a say he was on our roster, he got injured and had to miss 6 games. Would we cut him?
Ittakestime Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Just don't see this guy coming here. The Bills are trying to get guys cheap, and in this market. that is just an insult to these players. Not sure why we are even wasting people's time.

Not sure why we are even wasting people's time. Um, what? I don't want to jump to conclusions, but this opinion, combined with your overly negative post in the Holmes thread, has me leery of your level of reason.
Pete Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Fingers crossed that we sign both Holmes and Shead! I would be better going into this draft with better options with those two holes filled.

3rdand12 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Carr just signed with the Ravens. both Cowboys corners gone ! Someone heard me say there are alot of CBs left. lol. Going fast now. Nice job ! geesh!! I'd make it a 2 yr deal since he is most likely on PUP or IR next season with low guaranteed money in the 2nd year but with incentives based on games played. Tough call. May not be enough. I am sure Bills would and he would want incentives. If they both feel strongly about his recovery. He can already a play football well. Get the DRs involved heavily, pock and prod. Then offer him a longer deal to get him here. Sounds odd for an injured player, but i think there might some bidding for him ?? I wasn't hot on either Carr or Claiborne. Shead, Alterraun Verner, or Sam Shields are the guys on my list. Scheme guys ?
BillsFan17 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Good! I want as much questions answered going into the draft as possible.
3rdand12 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Fingers crossed that we sign both Holmes and Shead! I would be better going into this draft with better options with those two holes filled. I agree those players would- could be decent additions at the least. Good! I want as much questions answered going into the draft as possible. I am fine with gaining sure fire depth players at this point, and some with upside. Lower risk guys mostly too. Make drafting BPA so much easier I suspect But then again , a risk like Shead is something to season the sauce with !
MiltonWaddams Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Good! I want as much questions answered going into the draft as possible. I watch every Seahawks game and have enjoyed his play out here and would love to see him on the Bills. That being said, his injury doesn't answer questions, it adds to the list of them.
