junior Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2788148 Any opinions on this?
MadBuffaloDisease Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 LOL! After seeing what Thomas got, I'm not surprised. Hell I wouldn't be surprised to see the other franchised players do the same.
Beerball Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2788148 Any opinions on this? Yeah, Jerry Angelo really screwed up if he could have signed him one year ago at six for $33.
ACor58 Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 TKO, Willis, and 12 Mighty Tacos, straight up for Briggs.
1billsfan Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 LOL! After seeing what Thomas got, I'm not surprised. Hell I wouldn't be surprised to see the other franchised players do the same. How do you think Asante Samuels feels right now? Think about it, if he gets seriously injured then the Pats decision to franchised him cost him 73 million dollars. The guys who got franchised this year must be absolutely going out of their minds right now. Marv must be their hero now.
keepthefaith Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 let the !@#$ sit out . Darned right. These players and their union agreed to a new contract last year that already pays them an inordinate portion of the TV revenue. The franchise tag is part of that agreement like it or not.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 How do you think Asante Samuels feels right now? Like a rent-a-player.
stuckincincy Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 How do you think Asante Samuels feels right now? Like an already-rich man?
stuckincincy Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 How do you think Asante Samuels feels right now? Like an already very rich man?
BUFFALOTONE Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 If the Bears would recind the offer which I doubt. I would trade our #1 and TKO for Briggs. Not sure if the Bears would bite but you never know.
LynchMob23 Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 If the Bills brass are thinking about spending our first on a LB'er, why not pick one that already knows the system? Grab Briggs, re-unite him with Jauron and Fewell and let the big dog eat!
Tortured Soul Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 If the Bears would recind the offer which I doubt. I would trade our #1 and TKO for Briggs. Not sure if the Bears would bite but you never know. I would try a 2 and Spikes and let them dwell on it.
Fan in San Diego Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 That's why Marv didn't tag Nate ! Can you say resentment ?
Buffaloed in Pa Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 Take one guess who his agent is? You got it. Put a little bug in his ear
BuffaloBilliever Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 I would try a 2 and Spikes and let them dwell on it. Agreed.
Lothar Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 to me this is an indictment of management ... you know the cap is going to jump big in a year - why not sign your top players with guaranteed contracts (most of the money deferred to this year and later) and not have to deal with paying the Langston Walkers of the world outrageous money. Wouldn't a little foresight have come in handy? And I'm not talking just about the Bills ... though we left 20 million on the table by the end of the year. Arrgggh - I'm no financial whiz but isn't this just basic money management 101?
Fan in Chicago Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 I wonder if we want to spend $8 MM for a LB, which is what he will need to be 'happy'. Agreed that he is a proven commodity but it depends on how many items are left on Marv's shopping list.
BUFFALOTONE Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 First of all no way someone will trade 2 first rounders for Briggs. Secondly he can complain all he wants, him sitting out for a year isnt going to do anything but hurt him. Just play get paid 7 mill and move on to a huge contract next year.Whats the big deal?
Christopher Capolupo Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 I want Lance Briggs on the Bills yesterday.. He would put my A$$ in the seats at Ralph Wilson stadium.
