DrDawkinstein Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 also, could you guys imagine how much people would hate Kelsay if McGahee hadnt fallen to us and we drafted him in the first round like originally planned?!?!?
K-9 Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 We don't want them because they are overpaid or under performers, so why would anyone else want to give up anything else for them? If they wanted them, the whole league knows there is a good chance that they will be cut before too long, so they can get them for free. Not necessarily. Once placed on waivers there is an order by which they can be claimed. There is no gaurantee ANY team would get them except the team that selects first. If a team lower down in the pecking order had an interest it would be better to make a trade to ensure you get the player. GO BILLS!!!
The Big Cat Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 So that makes 3 non-punter/kickers leftover from Donahoe and not cut/released/traded/or put up for trade by Jauron. Moorman Lindell Schobel Denney Kelsay Evans Reed Parish
Sisyphean Bills Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Maybe they just need to surround Kelsay with more talent.
ans4e64 Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 well, if you say to a room full of people "does anybody want these" and nobody takes any of them, it implies that nobody wanted them. Or they're hard of hearing. And yes, I'm aware that we could have had too high an asking price. But on day 2 how high could any price be? Clearly, not getting a deal done = nobody wanted them.
jwws9999 Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Call me crazy, but I actually though Denney played pretty well (in his role) last year. you're crazy
ChasBB Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 $9.5 million in total scheduled to be paid to Kelsay, Denney, and Spencer Johnson this year. Something has to change... horrible return on investment. Absolutely. They've shelled out cash to guys that just don't contribute that much or are merely adequate. And then they get a guy like Fred Jackson, who DOES contribute, and they dick around with him. This FO has shown signs of improvement, but how they handle Fred Jackson is a big litmus test in my opinion.
Spiderweb Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 get rid of ko simpson restructure kelsay keep denney I'd add "get rid of Kelsay", but that may have to wait one more year.
Dylanme8 Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 I have a feeling this was a ploy to light a fire under these players azz. They made it very public, and wehn I heard the news I was like who the F is gonna trade anything worth while for them. I think they also wanted like a third for roscoe and couldn't get it.

I think they also wanted like a third for roscoe and couldn't get it. great point about it being a message to our under-performing ends. kelsay has always seemed so close to being a great end. he just hasnt stepped over that line yet. it would be interesting to see him turn it up a level. ive always thought he could, he just hasnt. and unfortunately, could doesnt get us sh--.
DrDawkinstein Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 It's also a public demonstration of a player's value. that too
RayFinkle Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Nobody wants to trade for a guy who might get cut. Either Kelsay or Denney will not be a Bill on opening day.
bdelma Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 But ... Ko Simpson is worth millions!!! Down here in redneck country where this happened it might mean something to the locals in the trailers.
michaelfromgermany Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Its not a surprise nobody wanted these player.... Kelsay is average... if i were a GM i would only trade for playmakers. Thats also the reason JAX would NOT trade DT Henderson. Lets be honest: If DT Henderson would be on our team...would we like to trade him ? I think neither of these player will be traded. Maybe S Ko Simpson gets cut. But i think Kelsay and Denney will stay. On the other hand i think Denney played better than Kelsay last year. Of course is his salary to high. Maybe he accepts a pay cut (which do i not believe). A note to LB Leroy Hill: As much i would love to have him on our team (even if he wants so much money), but i think the Patriots could take him. I am not sure, but i remember they drafted no Linebacker in the draft.
