Kelly the Dog Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 Here are the terms: Bills | Holcomb Agrees to Terms - from www.KFFL.com Fri, 4 Mar 2005 16:44:21 -0800 Len Pasquarelli, of ESPN.com, reports the Buffalo Bills have agreed to terms with unrestricted free agent QB Kelly Holcomb (Browns). The contract agreement is for a four-year, $6.6 million deal, including a $2 million signing bonus. Holcomb is expected to compete with QB J.P. Losman for the starting job. 263419[/snapback] CHEAP! Where the hell is D Wag the Dog? We probably should have traded for Holcomb last year so we could have signed him early for 12 million market value and kept him out of FA.

John from Riverside Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 I am wondering how much this cost us..... We need a couple more needs filled......
BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 CHEAP! Where the hell is D Wag the Dog? We probably should have traded for Holcomb last year so we could have signed him early for 12 million market value and kept him out of FA. 263425[/snapback] Its all about the market value! TD's an idiot!

JoeF Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 In all seriousness, if AD likes him, I will take his word that this is a good signing. 263403[/snapback] This might be my new signature....I have been looking for one. Thanks Buftex... New hat size AD? ;-) This is a very good deal -- wow..cap hit for this year is probably just over a Million...Solidifies the position for 4 years.
Alaska Darin Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 New hat size AD? ;-) 263441[/snapback] I friggin' rule.
LabattBlue Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 Holcomb is expected to compete with QB J.P. Losman for the starting job. 263419[/snapback] If this is true, DB is going to cry foul. All he wanted was an open competition. ;)
Alaska Darin Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 If this is true, DB is going to cry foul. All he wanted was an open competition. 263443[/snapback] Who?
Kelly the Dog Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 If this is true, DB is going to cry foul. All he wanted was an open competition. ;) 263443[/snapback] All of those words are true. They just forgot to put the "not" between the "is" and the "expected".
John from Riverside Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 So the question is....had we freaked out while everyone was dropping cash out of helecopters over the main free agent guys.... Would we have had the money to be able to bring in a backup of this quality..... Hey...TD DOES know how to work a cellphone at the combine...
LabattBlue Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 All of those words are true. They just forgot to put the "not" between the "is" and the "expected". 263447[/snapback] kffl took some liberties. Lenny said KH is "capable" of competing for the starting job. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/stor..._len&id=2005327

Losman for the starting job. 263419[/snapback] I am quite pleased with this signing! KH is a competitor who has played in the cold, and now he has better weapons. I also hope that there IS competition for the starting job, just in case JP is slightly worse than Steve Young in his prime, or is injured in practice, etc. Our DL is young and will improve. We have great safties (when healthy) With help in the draft at OL, CB, and backup RB, this could be a VERY good football team.
Dr. K Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 I friggin' rule. 263442[/snapback] We're gonna have to butter your ears for you to get through the doorway.
ShelfromNJ Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 I believe NFL Total Access said that Losman will still be the starting qb. I just hope we don't have another qb controversy to start the new season. Although, I am glad we got Holcomb
JoeF Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 If this is true DB is going to cry foul. All he wanted was an open competition. 263443[/snapback] Drew's definition of open competition started and ended with "This is my team". MM and TD's definition of open competition is JP is in the lead and you have to unseat him. I like the Holcomb thing even more because you know that Tom Clements and Mularkey studied the guy a lot when he was the starter in Cleveland--remember that playoff game where he and Maddox just gunslinged each other to death... His line from that day 26 of 43 for 429 yards
beerme1 Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 This is F'n sweet I don't expect him to play because I think JP is going to be a stud. But the one thing with JP that we have to wait and see is if he will be durable. That is really far less of an issue now. If all JP did this season was hand the ball off, we would still make the playoffs because Willis is a stud. Hey Drew, thanks buddy!
rastabillz Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 What a relief! I was worried we were going to enter the preseason with Mattthews(sp) as our #2. Things are moving in a positive direction.
