Guest dog14787 Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 So we bring in Terrell Owens and then turn around and give up our best players on the O-line? Is there an underlying message here that Ralph Wilson is trying to convey to Dick Jauron and his side kick Shonert? One of the few bright spots toward the end of the season was we started to run the ball well and for what?
atlbillsfan1975 Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 I have read and heard that GMs around the league genuinely like Drew Rosenhaus because he is very well prepared, professional, knows his job, gets things done, doesn't waste their time, etc. One of the reasons TO signed with the Bills so quick was because they liked what Rosenhaus did. Good thats why i said most.
Mr. WEO Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 I must be lacking some insight, because I fail to see the relevance that this has to do with Peters. And why is this "interesting news" at all?
The Dean Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 So we bring in Terrell Owens and then turn around and give up our best players on the O-line?

Well, I think the message is, the Bills FO agrees with you, and is trying to SIGN Peters, not trade him.
DazedandConfused Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Well, I think the message is, the Bills FO agrees with you, and is trying to SIGN Peters, not trade him. Agreed. Folks who are pissed at Peters for not being a teamer and are concerned about what kind of message it sends to other players if the "give" in to his demands, also need to understand that they are also caving if they trade him. It is doubtful that any team is going to trade for him without re-signing him to a long term deal that shows him the $ the Bills and Peters have not been able to reach agreement on. Why would any team give up draft picks and other items of value merely to simply take over the same holdout woes Peters is bringing to the Bills? If they were to trade him, then every Bill who thinks he deserves a new deal can simply follow the Peters/Parker method of threatening a holdout and throwing a hissy fit to get a new contract when the Bills trade him. Trading Peters sends a clear message to folks like Jackson and others the key is to annoy some fans and this will get you out of town to a team that will show you the money.

Peters has already shown that he is willing to pressure the Bills into making a deal. He's doing that now. No reason to be in a hurry if you're him in April.

Hmmm...then what message does making Lee Evans one of the league's highest paid WRs send?
