NY Nole Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Bledsoe was big, but I think this is bigger. The trade for Cornelius Bennett may be right up. Is this the biggest off-season move in Bills history?
San Jose Bills Fan Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Bledsoe was big, but I think this is bigger. The trade for Cornelius Bennett may be right up. Is this the biggest off-season move in Bills history? Nope. Not close. When the USFL went defunct and Kelly became available to us we signed him and he came to Buffalo for his news conference. On the way from the airport to the Hilton people were lining the Kensington Expressway overpasses to welcome him. You have to understand, this was like the Bills signing Dan Marino. Kelly's legend and mystique only multiplied after the great seasons he had with the Houston Gamblers. For people who remember that day, I don't think this is close. But it's still a wonderful splash of excitement.

VABills Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Even the Bledsoe trade generated a a huge fan rally. This is small in comparision to some of the past signings.
rackemrack Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 its front page news on yahoo.com that seems pretty big! we are more newsworthy than rachel ray in FHM
nucci Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Kelly has to be the biggest. Bennett was not acquired in the off-season.
