obie_wan Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 with a week to go to training camp- what is the status of gettiing the rookies under contract?
H2o Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 The front office is working on it. They're in constant discussion every day
obie_wan Posted July 19, 2008 Author Posted July 19, 2008 The front office is working on it. They're in constant discussion every day so what's the deal? It is critical the Bills have their rookies in camp from day 1 to have any hope of getting production in 2008 - especially Hardy. I don't understand why the wait until the last minute
playman Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 so what's the deal? It is critical the Bills have their rookies in camp from day 1 to have any hope of getting production in 2008 - especially Hardy. I don't understand why the wait until the last minute they wait for more signings around their picks to get them slotted correctly i think
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 they wait for more signings around their picks to get them slotted correctly i think That's mostly the story behind it. They don't want to be the lowest bid on the market. Drafted Players CB Leodis McKelvin - 1st WR James Hardy - 2nd DE Chris Ellis - 3rd CB Reggie Corner - 4th Signed 6/12 TE Derek Fine - 4th Signed 6/25 OLB Alvin Bowen - 5th RB Xavier Omon - 6th OT Demetrius Bell - 7th Signed 7/2 WR Steve Johnson - 7th Signed 7/8 CB Kennard Cox - 7th Signed 5/30

I don't understand why the wait until the last minute Have you thought that maybe the players agents are the reason they are not signed?

I don't understand why the wait until the last minute If you are referring to the teams that have already signed their players i think most have started camp already. The Redskins for one.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 If you are referring to the teams that have already signed their players i think most have started camp already. The Redskins for one. IIRC The Redskins are the first to be at camp. Buffalo opens on the 25th http://www.nfl.com/trainingcamp/story?id=0...mp;confirm=true
Zona Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 yeah, I am getting nervous about these guys getting in to camp. If they miss a few days, thats alright. But if they miss 2-3 weeks, that will put them WAY behind... The last thing we need is to have a prolonged holdout. Get these guys signed and get them into camp asap!
Realist Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 The only ones you have to worry about are McKelvin and Hardy, maybe Ellis. If the others aren't signed by the beginning of Training Camp, there's a good chance they don't make the team. I don't care who you are, if you're that low of a pick, you get your ass in camp or forget it.
