Zona Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 According to one the CBS articles from the front page we did. Why didn't we here this before? That's good news that we are starting to get the troops into the fold. I want to see everyone signed before camp. We cant afford any holdouts this year.
PromoTheRobot Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 As far as I know, no one's been signed yet. We're dooooooooooooomed. PTR

Turn Down For Watkins Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 I'm pretty sure that we signed Shawn Nelson a while back, I can't find a link though.
PromoTheRobot Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 I'm pretty sure that we signed Shawn Nelson a while back, I can't find a link though. That proved to be a premature report. I think only an offer was made. Every Bills draft pick plans to hold out. Even the UDFA's. Doooooooooooomed. PTR

qbtoleeforthetd Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 despite the fact that we are apparently doomed either way I don't see that on the website.

There are two things to keep in mind when talking about Bills' siging their rookies. (1) They will never sign their rookies early. (2) They will get them all signed eventually. Remember, and the same holds true with our beloved Buffalo Sabres: the Bills do not "set the market" when signing rookies or free agents. Both of Buffalo's major sports teams have one thing in common: they are from Buffalo - you know, smallest market of the small markets?! However, I don't remember any Bills rookies holding out for more then a few days in the past 10 years or so, either, so don't sweat it.
Beerball Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 Can you ever afford to have players hold out? Mike Williams would have been a good holdout candidate.
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 True, but it is not just the Bills. Few teams seek to sign their rookies much before training camp starts. I am unaware of any avalanche of other signings lately. Most teams wait until the last minute; I am not sure what economic benefit comes with that, but that has been the pattern.
