scribo Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 why are you so sure? i've heard plenty of chatter about the bills talking with evans (from the bills camp and the evans camp) but not a word on crowell........i agree with you that he's a high priority but the fact they don't appear to be trying to resign him at this point is concerning OK, when I say "sure," I mean I see no reason whatsoever to believe otherwise. You've hear about extension talks with Evans because reporters are asking about it. No one is asking about Crowell, yet. Had you heard about talks with Butler or Williams before the announcement of their extensions? I hadn't. The front office is showing it is willing to pay now to keep this team together as it builds. It seems to me the Bills like Crowell, so I feel strongly that the Bills will ensure he is still on the team as they look to take it to the next level.

ndirish1978 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Have you SEEN the LBs coming out in the draft next year? I have 3 guys (2 USC LBs and Laurinitis) who could all be top 10 picks. Tender Crowell as an RFA and then extend him the next season. If we stand to lose him we take someone in the draft, though we'd have to trade up for them since we're making the playoffs.

Sisyphean Bills Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I wish McKelvin the best of luck, but he has a tough act to follow in Clements, who created turnovers, played the pass and run equally well and was ridiculously durable. The durability thing is more than a tad ironic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
