Stl Bills Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 per ESPN bottomline. Probably a result of Chicago matching the offer sheet, but I'm happy to have Denney back.
stinky finger Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 Just when you thought things couldn't get any better........
nemhoff Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 path of least resistance for a back-up, and liked the way that he defends the run.
Pyrite Gal Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 I am happy as well, but have no illusions that while he is a helpful contributor to the team, he is a player who can fill in the right spot at the right cost but he is not a player to build around. The bottomline is while I am happy he is here it needs to be at the right cost. I'm not certain what that exact amount is under the new salary cap amount, but even though signed a year later under the new cap his contract amount should be no where near what we paid to resign fellow DE Schobwl who not only gets more sacks, but covered better in the zone blitz, was comparable as a run stopper but does not have the motor Schobel has.
2003Contenders Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 My guess is that when it's all said and done, we'll find that he signed in the same $1M per year range that we've been signing most of the 2nd tier guys that we've brought in -- and that the contract is back-loaded with a minimal signing bonus.
drnykterstein Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 now we are going to win the superbowl !!!!!

BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 A few years ago if you told me I'd be glad we re-signed Ryan Denney, I'd tell you to slap me. But Denney has turned out to be a very solid run-stopper...glad we got this done.
ACor58 Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 Denney intrigues me. I kept getting the feeling that he was going to be one of those guys that got to start someplace else and haVE a really good year, then we would all be kicking ourselves. I am glad to have "The Stormin' Mormon" back!
scribo Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 I like Marv's tactics with the Bills' free agents so far. Let them go out and test the market. This way we don't overpay and they feel like they got a fair shake.

You'll lose the occasional great player to somebody who is willing to offer the extravagant contract, but more often than not you'll keep your role players (and potential starters) at a reasonable cost.
Thailog80 Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 But will the Bills match our offer? 640260[/snapback] Now that was funny Dan!!!!!
