^ interesting stuff.... i guess buffalo or maybe cincy.... Coles would make a good #2 next to Johnson.
Its wakeup time for Mr. Coles, man is he gonna rag on his agent... its so great when players over rate themselves the greedt SOB's that they are. I don't want back for 1 million, let the other WR's compete for the remaining spots.
If its Buffalo, they won't bid against themselves. Not exactly alot of money hanging around that franchise. Wilson is famously cheap and that area was in big trouble BEFORE the recession.
What are the cap ramifications if he doesn't sign before the season starts or if he signs somewhere for dirt cheap? Is his number already off the books or will we get with/owe money?
I saw him quoted as saying" if i don't get any interest, i'll come crawling back". Seems like he'd better get on his knees.
I'm actually surprised a team like the Chargers or Falcons haven't tried to ink him. Pairing him up with Vincent Jackson or Roddy White would give Rivers and Matt Ryan some help.
He voided his contract, there is no cap number for him. I don't think there is even any dead money left over from prior bonuses. Oh, there is. 1 million in dead money this year.
looks like the bills have interest in him... i might imagine if we find out how much he wants we might try to beat it
The Dolphins aren't going to sign him until late in training camp if at all. They're probably 50/50 to cut Chad at some point between now and Sept 1st and signing Coles with that potential liability on the plate would be foolish.
There is a good chance the bills dont want to pay him want he wants because he prob would have signed with them if the money was right. If he ends up in cincy for less money he is going to fell like a real dope
No way are the Dolphins going to cut Pennington before the season! I just think the Dolphins are happy with their receiving corps, and don't want to spend big bucks on a veteran.
LC is not in a hurry to sign with the Bills. Who in their right mind would be? At least the concussions haven't taken away all his ability to think straight. I would be more than willing to resign him for less money in a lesser role.
i understand now why we had to let him go, but i would love to have him back at a cheaper price as our number one receiver. in my mind we have a perfect number 2 in cotchery and i expect stuckey to develop even more into the number 3 role. coles should come back as our number 1 while we see what clowney and even marcus henry can do, and while we wait to see what the draft brings us. LC may have already started the descent in his career, but he is a playmaker with great YAC ability who plays hard when he wants to. unless we are willing to somehow do whatever it takes to get boldin or get lucky in the draft, chances are we are not going to find a better #1 reciever for this season.
There's no rush to sign mid level FAs to fill holes before the draft because you might get a guy at that position who slid in the draft. Its only after the draft that teams start worrying about filling holes in the starting lineup with merely average players.
Ouch.... LC really fucked himself here. No way is going to get that 6 million he left the Jets for. I guess the grass isn't always greener. I'm guessing given the choice between playing in Buffalo as a #2 making #2 or playing in NY being a #1 (for the time being) making #2 money he'd come back to the Meadowlands. BTW anybody else think it's harsh what Miami did to him? I mean come on your treating anonymous locker room source like that!!!
I Guess teams dont want a past prime Concussion prone receiver who tends to talk a little to much. Still i think he will end up somewhere soon.
Coles problem is his starting price. You would have to be nuts to guarantee him anything over 1 or 2 years and the 6 million he turned down for 1 year is more than he is worth spread over two years without the guarantee.
