Phlegm Alley Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Cardinals | Gandy signed Mon, 2 Apr 2007 13:59:57 -0700 The Arizona Cardinals have signed unrestricted free-agent OL Mike Gandy (Bills) to a three-year contract. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
John from Riverside Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 I really thought that Gandy would be resigned..... Oh well...guess the bills were not too high on him
Bill from NYC Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 I really thought that Gandy would be resigned..... Oh well...guess the bills were not too high on him The last alleged left tackle who left the Bills for Arizona was John Fina. 'Nuff said.
freester Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 I thought that he played ok at guard and would have been a good depth signing for cheap.
PromoTheRobot Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Sirius NFL radio says that the Bills lost a Hall-of-Fame player in Gandy, and that Levy has Mad Cow. Not really, but it wouldn't shock me if someone did say it. PTR
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 I thought Gandy was just as bad of a guard as he was a tackle. Maybe it wasn't as evident during the line switch because of how good jason peters played and the fact we actually began to score points, but he would continually be pushed back in the run game and be overpowered on passing downs. He wasn't the worst guard ever but he wasn't very good either.
ans4e64 Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 The last alleged left tackle who left the Bills for Arizona was John Fina. 'Nuff said. I'm not understanding your post. Are you saying that because Fina left for Arizona and sucked that Gandy is no good? I thought it would have been better to re-sign him, but I think the Bills no what they are doing more than my armchair ass.
JimBob2232 Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Interested to see the numbers. Could give us a comp pick next year...
ans4e64 Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Interested to see the numbers. Could give us a comp pick next year... Are you kidding? We signed 3 offensive lineman and spent $75 million on them, we are not getting a compensation pick for losing Gandy lol.

gonzo1105 Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Are you kidding? We signed 3 offensive lineman and spent $75 million on them, we are not getting a compensation pick for losing Gandy lol. Yea, but comp picks are based on net gain vs net lose Net Gain Derrick Docker 7 yrs 49 Langston Walker 5 yrs 25 Jason Whittle 1 yr 720,000 Net Loss Nate Clements 8 yrs 80 London Fletcher 5 yrs 25 Mike Gandy 3 yrs ??? Not saying we will get anything special but as of now were in decent shape to at least get a late rd pick.

Not saying we will get anything special but as of now were in decent shape to at least get a late rd pick. The question is going to be whether or not Whittle qualifies as a player gained and whether Gandy qualifies as a player lost. If Gandys contract is in the 3 years 15M range (which i think is nutz), and whittle does not qualify, its possible we get a 4th or 5th rounder. Of course, if we sign Chris Brown or another meaningful FA, its all for naught.
JimBob2232 Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Trading players arent included in this? No. Neither are Cuts. Only players lost and gained in Free Agency. (Not sure how RFAs are handled)
Sketch Soland Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Leave it to the Cardinals to pick up the scrubs.
Albany,n.y. Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 I really thought that Gandy would be resigned..... Oh well...guess the bills were not too high on him He was resigned to the fact that once the Bills signed three offensive linemen on day 1 of free agency, they weren't interested in him.
ans4e64 Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 You clearly do not understand how comp picks work.... You can't be serious. This thread is about losing scrub Gandy. Your first post in reply to this said you wanted to know the numbers and thought we could get compensation. If we do get comensation for our FA losses, it will be because Nate signed an $80 million dollar deal and we lost Fletcher, it will have nothing to do with Gandy.

If we do get comensation for our FA losses, it will be because Nate signed an $80 million dollar deal and we lost Fletcher, it will have nothing to do with Gandy. Oh, i love ignorance. The FIRST CRITERIA on getting ANY comp picks is this: Did you lose more players than you gained? The SECOND CRITERIA is What is the value difference between what you lost and what you gained. Without #1 there ARE NO COMP PICKS (except for a possible 7th if the value difference is very large) So the KEY to us getting comp picks next year is to lose more players than we signed. I dont think Wittle will qualify as a player gained. IF gandy qualifies as a player lost, we now have lost 3 players and gained 2...thus allowing us to recieve a pick higer than the possible 7th rounder. The actual salaries do matter...but ONLY if you lose more than you gain (in raw numbers). Them's the facts. Of course if we sign another qualified FA, it doesnt matter. But there arent too many left out there.
