RockPile007 Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 I love Daniels. He was just dominant for the Texans this year. Not sure if he's worth as much as this article says. http://buf.scout.com/2/828147.html But I think he is exactly what Edwards needs. If Buffalo wants to get this O rollin' he sure sounds like the right guy.

RockPile007 Posted January 8, 2009 Author Posted January 8, 2009 I'd love to have him in Buffalo but I just can't see Houston letting him get away. It's a pipedream at best. I agree. Houston is loaded at receiver. They'll do everything they can to keep them together. Might be worth fighting for though. He could be the best TE in the league in a couple years.
uticaclub Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 He will cost a 1st round pick. hes a free agent... imagine if we got matt birk, tj whoseurmomma, and owen daniels. thats something to be afraid of. Of course this wont happen i doubt TJ would want to be a #2 guy again. and were just gonna overpay for some free agents that aren't very good.
BuckyFillUps Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Never Happen. When is the last time Ralph won a bidding war for a top teir FA? (crickets) Yeah back then.
bills_fan Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 I like both this guy's ideas...Garcia and Daniels. And, yes, I'd give up the #11 to sign this guy. If we were looking at Gresham at 11, well, Daniels has already proved he can play and excel in the league.

WHAT AM I MISSING HERE? Sorry, we will never get the most desired player at ANY position in free agency. never have never will. I'd say, L.J. Smith is our guy, always injured, near the end of his carreer, practically useless, he's our man. Prove me wrong.

BillsVet Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Daniels seems to have good but not great size at 6'3 245. His stats suggest he can play, especially considering Houston's sporadic QB play. As a RFA, Houston can tender him at a place which would make him untouchable if another teams signs him. In 2008, a player with a 1st and 3rd compensation received a 1 year deal for 2.562M. A first round tender was 2.017M, 2nd round 1.417M, and a tender of 927k was equal to the round the player was drafted in. Last year, Indy allowed Ben Utecht to sign with Cincy at no compensation because Utecht was a UDFA. I think Houston will give Daniels the highest tender, regardless of the 2009 salary. No team would give a first and third for Michael Turner, and no one will for Daniels.
BuckyFillUps Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Here you go Bucky. Courtesy of rotoworld: http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpag...NFL&id=3733 Thankyou. footballsfuture.com has him listed as a UFA. I checked before I posted. I admit when I'm wrong. I'm wrong! That said, Ralph was soured by Donahoe and has said publicly that he will not trade away 1st round picks.
BuckyFillUps Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Why the hell we didnt take Devin Thomas in the first last year and Martellus Bennett in the 2nd I'll never know....
silvermike Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Why the hell we didnt take Devin Thomas in the first last year and Martellus Bennett in the 2nd I'll never know.... If we were going to target those two positions, I'd say we should have taken Dustin Keller in the first and Eddie Royal in the 2nd,

No team would give a first and third for Michael Turner, and no one will for Daniels. I never understood why more teams dont tender their good to decent players at the 1st round level or higher. That extra 500k basically guarantees that they're staying with you, or that you can work a trade to your advantage. Ask the dolphins. If they had tendered welker at the 1st round level instead of the second, they'd still have him. Instead, ne* used a poison pill to get him. Hope miami is enjoying that 500k they saved.
Stussy109 Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Why the hell we didnt take Devin Thomas in the first last year and Martellus Bennett in the 2nd I'll never know.... I thionk McKelvin scored more points than Thomas did, and he's not even on offense.

bluv Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 The Bills hardly EVER attract the best free agents without spending top dollar as most NFL players outside see Buffalo as NFL Siberia! So unless Ralph spends top dollar, the only way he will attract top name free agents is if they have connections or affections to WNY to give a hometown discount!
truth on hold Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 I'd love to have him in Buffalo but I just can't see Houston letting him get away. It's a pipedream at best. Why didn't Houston franchise him?
basskik11 Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Never Happen. When is the last time Ralph won a bidding war for a top teir FA? (crickets) Yeah back then. I feel ya...but this is rediculous. He can't be that cheap. He MUST get some top flight free agents. The management team can't think that they can get away with everything they have pulled W/OUT doing so...at least I hope.
