Updates

Anger!

[Bills!Win!]

Please take our minds off the Sabres

Exciting times. Maybe not for us and the Bills, but just having a few days of NFL news in general. 

[John from Riverside]

I predict a boring day

[SCBills]

I’ll be watching the Rodgers/Jets saga …. Seems if it’s going to happen, it’s got to be announced today, no?

 

I think he’s going there, but I’m less confident today than I was before the weekend.

Unlikely. 

If I recall, a lot of deals were announced on this day last year

[gonzo1105]

I can’t wait for a ton of burner accounts to post bills news to be posted on here only to be completely untrue.

I can't begin to tell you how much I will laugh if he spurns them. He may want to stick it to the Packers one more time. That's a lot of money he'd be coughing up in state taxes as well.

Breaking news!!!

 

We are interested in a football player .

I should say I predict a boring day for us

[BananaB]

Waiting to see what 30 year old Beane will sign this week or maybe some backup OL that only has a few starts and is looking for an opportunity 

[Gregg]

Rumor out there that the Jets will look into trading for Stafford if Rodgers doesn't go to NJ.

I think it could be boring for us in terms of acquiring players, but maybe not so much in regards to losing guys. 
 

From all reports, if we don’t get a deal done with Edmunds before noon, his agent is going to be a busy man.

Stafford is more brittle than Rodgers, and again the Jets O-line is horrible. Come on Aaron stay with Green Bay or retire. 

[No_Matter_What]

Can somebody remind me how this acutally works?

 

The way I understand it today at noon ET (i.e. in 3 hours) teams can START contacting agents, so normally it would take at least couple of hours to get any deal done, so there should be news in the evening at best.

 

However, IIRC there are some news almost immediately, right? If that is the case, is this something what NFL tolerates and there are unofficial talks all the time, so they just need to wait until today noon to announce agreements?

Teams and agents talk all the time

Yup, they all just talk in hypotheticals before the tampering period. By saying things like what do you expect your client to want, or hypothetically if we offered such and such money would your client be interested come free agency. By now I bet most the big name free agents already got their teams lined up outside of the few that want to make visits first.
