H2o Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 http://blogs.nfl.com/2009/03/11/free-agent...visiting-lions/ Free-agent linebacker Angelo Crowell visited with the Lions today after visiting with the Buccaneers on Monday. The Eagles and Rams also have contacted Crowell’s agent to express interest but not to the point of offering him a contract. Crowell, 27, spent last season on the Bills’ injured-reserve list following knee surgery. The five-year veteran played all 16 games for Buffalo in 2007, recording 126 tackles, and he has 343 career tackles. He isn’t expected to be cleared for full football-related workouts until after the April 25-26 draft. – Steve Wyche Doesn't seem like he's getting too much interest in the open market. Maybe we could get him back on a relatively cheap 1 year deal. It would give him another shot here in Buffalo to prove his worth. Maybe he would come back and play well. We haven't signed anyone else yet and he already knows the system also. Just a thought.
cantankerous Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 That bridge has been burned. I don't think he's coming back with what happened last year.
Fingon Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Hmm, i don't know. It depends on what went on last year (we don't really know).
Bob in Mich Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 We know what he can do when healthy...probably better than most teams. If he's not looking for superstar money, I would take a healthy Crowell back in a heartbeat.....longer than a 1 year contract too.
High Mark Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 If no other team bites, sign him long term. He is only going to cost more to keep around at the end of next year.
lets_go_bills Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 I want him back. But he'd sooner take a huge discount than come back here. The Bills FO eff'd up and burned that bridge.
PushthePile Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Absolutely. I don't care what happened behind closed doors. This is the NFL, get over it and lock up a nice player for a few years. He already said he wouldn't mind being a Bill and he blows away the FA's we've had here.

PushthePile Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 What if he has degenerative knees? He has had nagging knee injuries for a while. I'm assuming they would do a physical on the player before cutting him a check. If it's a major concern the Bills could always protect themselves with a one year contract or incentive laden deal.

When he is healthy, he is a damn good LB.
seq004 Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 I'd like to see him come back as long as their remains no bad blood.
PushthePile Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 I don't know... i just wonder why he hasn't been signed already. When he is healthy, he is a damn good LB. You bring up a good point. He has had ample time to make a full recovery and has age/ability (if healthy) over the other FA's out there.
SKOOBY Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 I think the FO let him know exactly what they thought of his decision early last season, bye-bye.
