John from Riverside Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 Expect a LOT of talk about that this next week.
Erik Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 Expect a LOT of talk about that this next week. I'm hoping the answer was no...and we get clarification on that sooner than later.
Mularkey Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 Seriously, how is this not known 100 percent by now? It just doesnt make sense that it would be widely reported but never confirmed officially by the front office or Ralph. So it leads me to think that no extension was given. Is there a precident for this in pro sports? Again, I dont get it so it leads me to think it was a rumor and not actual fact otherwise the Bills would have had a fancy press conference with that 40 year old podium and Ralph joking about how young he is and Brandon selling some merchandise. Dick would have said basically nothing and show no emotion what so ever and then return to running the team into the ground. So, to sum it up, no extension and he will be fired after the Pats game this year.

Actually the timing was very interesting...it was just before the string of division games that the rumor came up wasn't it? It makes little sense to extend a guy before such a crucial stretch...maybe he agreed to terms on the condition that he have a winning season, which was looking likely at that point and that is what leaked...

If he did, he consigned the Buffalo part of the franchise to the dustheap of history.
BuffaloBill Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 If there was one it was likely conditional. I say DJ does not come back next year. Ralph knows he can't screw up the Toronto deal. If they make no changes then ticket sales will fall like a stone in water.
BillsObserver Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 I've been thinking since the losing streak and I am convinced that his extension is contingent on making the playoffs. Ralph said at 5-1, there's no way you'll miss the playoffs, right Dick? Sign the contract with the provision that if you miss the playoffs, the deal is off the table. Why else wouldn't they have publicly announced the contract extension?
/dev/null Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 Why else wouldn't they have publicly announced the contract extension? Team policy is to not discuss contract status of non-player personnel
Cynical Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 Team policy is to not discuss contract status of non-player personnel I get what you are saying, but I wonder why the Bills will not even give a 'yea' or 'nay'? Do they consider even answering a yes/no question falls under 'discuss'?
