San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Here's the Bflo News story: http://blogs.buffalonews.com/billboard/200...e-bills-wa.html As per usual the clueless Allen Wilson: "Somebody is going to sign him this offseason. Given the Bills' need for another pass rusher, they would be wise to grab Wake before someone else does and give him in for a closer look in offseason workouts." He's a street free agent. I don't know the rules here but there's basically only two possibilities. Either he can go to the highest bidder in which case the Bills would have to outbid other teams (and possibly overpay for him), or they all get the same deal so he has his pick of whichever team/owner/city he wants to play for. Sure the Bills are interested. They worked him out. But it's a bit more complicated than "they would be wise to grab him before someone else does."
Kingfish Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Cue the outraged, snarky responses in one...two...three...

Couldn't the Bills make him an offer now? Is it not possible he would accept?
BillsObserver Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Is he really any good or just another Copeland Bryan? Those stats sound impressive but.. in the CFL?
marauderswr80 Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 He's someone id take a look at. Hey you never know......he could really help the team depth wise.... Below is a video of Cameron Wake and another DE Jonathan Brown from the CFL. I wouldnt mind checking the other guy out as well.
billsevans Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 I watched this kid play at Penn State and he was a beast there, a real hardworker.
silvermike Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 I wouldn't be pissed if we sent Kelsay off the roster for a CFLer.
marauderswr80 Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 He has amazing leaping ability. I see no reason to give the kid a shot.....
Sisyphean Bills Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 At 255, the Bills could use him as a DT in the Tiny Tampa Two. Were we supposed to be outraged that he wasn't signed when Ellis and Schobel were lost?
BillsObserver Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 I watched this kid play at Penn State and he was a beast there, a real hardworker. That piece of footage is good. In terms of appearance alone, the dude is a freak. I'm not sure I'm buying the part about no TV, no internet and no partying but he sure seems to put in the work. Maybe the Bills do have a shot considering the need for an end. They could've easily told him, you have a good shot of making this team because we desperately need help from our ends. If we drafted an end, and got this guy, I'd immediately cut Kelsay and feel pretty excited about our ends.

BillsObserver Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 He has amazing leaping ability. I see no reason to give the kid a shot..... That's the problem. It's just not as easy as saying give him a shot because he'll have plenty of teams interested in him. And that's where my pessimism takes over. There is no reason to not give the kid a shot, which is probably the mindset of at least 10 other GMs around the league. It would be up to him choosing the Bills which I don't see happening. Or he might just go with whoever offers him the most money.
BuckyFillUps Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 CFL defensive player of the year. Kinda like being the smartest man in the world with downs syndrome. Anything is an upgrade over kelsay or denny.

Your right, but then the front office needs to make a move and do something about him.......
Sisyphean Bills Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 That piece of footage is good for a piece that is all hype and nothing but hype.
BillsObserver Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 for a piece that is all hype and nothing but hype. Just like every other piece of footage you'll see on an athlete. Considering there's nothing that's interesting about the CFL, TSN did a fine job.
Fan in San Diego Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Considering they only have 3 downs to make 10 yards, the third down being a punt, 23 sacks in one year is pretty damn good.
H2o Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 He has the body of Orakpo,doesn't have any sort of a nightlife to land in jail, and a gap in his teeth like Strahan. How could we go wrong? He should be signed by tomorrow.
