Around SBN: Chan Sung Jung Wins Thriller Over Dustin Poirier

Vikings free agent center Matt Birk has reached a stalemate in negotiations with Minnesota. He's now considering alternative locales. Said Birk's agent, Joe Linta:

"We've had some calls this morning and he's trying to decide where he's going to visit right now."

Linta would not disclose any of the teams that have called, but there is a strong chance that the Buffalo Bills are one potential suitor. The real question is whether or not Birk finds Buffalo appealing.

He does seem like the perfect fit for us – that being said – he might want to go to a contender like the Steelers to get a ring.

I think he will at very least come here for a visit – i’m actually surprised that we haven’t signed him already – I was sure he’d be one of our first signings (still might be)

he wanted to stay w/Minnesota it isn’t surprising he hasn’t been in contact w/other teams yet.

The Snugwow would mean not only do you not need to even move you’re blanket to do things like answer the phone, but you don’t even have to get up to go to the bathroom. I say they make it edible so that you could spend weeks on your sofa without having to move so much as a foot

birk

my sources indicate Birk is extremely frustrated with the Vikings. He really wants to make one last deal to store away a few extra million. The man is simple. Has lived in the same house over the last decade in teh Cities, has strong roots here in MPLS, but this is one guy that if the Bills simplly “pony up” they can get him for a 2 year deal with a club option for a 3rd if they offer enough guaranteed coin

Common OBD realize the neec to sign him and do it NOW!

by CanadianBillsFan on Feb 27, 2009 3:55 PM EST reply actions  

I've warmed up to Birk over Brown

Just because we sign Birk doesn’t necessarily mean we won’t take a center in round 2. I have to believe that even if we sign Birk we would take Mack if he was there in the second round. At which point Mack, already a stud, would be groomed by the smartest to play the position. Can you say beast? Even Wood works

If we can finagle DE Brian Orakpo and C Alex Mack I will not complain about this team for a whole season. I promise.

by poz on Feb 27, 2009 3:58 PM EST up reply actions  

I don't care who we draft in the second, as long as it's a C/G

Mack, Wood, even Unger would work. I figure if any of these 3 gets two years under Birk then we also have a stud center for the next ten years. And we can occasionally put the rookie in a rotation at center and guard so he gets playing experience too. Either way, Birk is our guy at center.

I know

I live with a Giants fan and hes about heard enough of Alex Mack. I’ve always been a bit stubborn and combine that with the fact that every year there is one draft pick I absolutely want for the Bills.

Last year I wanted Leodis McKevlin so bad and we got him.

The year we took Whitner I was going nuts when Matt Leinart fell to us and freaked out when he passed him.

McKelvin looks to be working out but right now I guess OBD was smarter than me in regards to Whtiner-Leinart. I would much rather have a decent safety than a QB who has done nothing.

i’m just thinking they’ll have to overpay to not let him leave….and this is a signing that would pump up the fan base a little, and add instant reliable impact to the WR corps…..plus take the pressure off Evans and the rest of the corps…..Unless they have a legitimate plan B for a weapon please sign him

Jason Brown

The good news for center/guard Jason Brown is that the St. Louis Rams are willing to pay him $7 million per year.

The bad news for center/guard Jason Brown is that no one else is.

A league source tells ProFootballTalk.com that Brown doesn’t want to play for the Rams, and thus wants someone/anyone to step up and match the offer St. Louis has made to him.

Per the source, Brown was hoping that the Ravens would match the number that the Rams put on the table. But the Ravens haven’t, and apparently won’t.

Other teams are interested in Brown, but not at the same level that Rams have demonstrated.

So Brown is in a bind. Does he take the money from a team for which he doesn’t want to play? Or does he take less from someone else?

Does he take the money from a team for which he doesn’t want to play? Or does he take less from someone else?

well that depends on what he wants – if he wants a ring and possibly more recognition then he will take less money and go to a contender. or he can be greedy and just take the money becuase thats all he wants – seems like him and his agent are just trying to maximize the contract they get by shopping him around.

also – the fact that he’s saying he doesn’t want to play there means that he probably does want to go to a contender so he might actually take a little less. or something

Brian

what are the odds of Coles leaving Buffalo with a deal?

If we can finagle DE Brian Orakpo and C Alex Mack I will not complain about this team for a whole season. I promise.

by poz on Feb 27, 2009 5:07 PM EST reply actions  

Slim. I’ve thought all along, and it’s confirmed by every second we don’t hear of a deal, that Coles was using his visit with Buffalo to drive up his price in Miami.

is that what Fred Taylor did too? Is that our role in this free agent market?

No, that’s not what Taylor did. Taylor’s interest was legitimate.

ok last question I promise

do you know if we offered Taylor the same kind of money as the Pats or maybe more? Was money the deal breaker or did we offer just as much as the Pats and he went where he thinks he can get a ring in the next year?

I’m 95% sure we offered a bit more. NE is way more strapped for cash than we are. Taylor just wanted an opportunity for a ring. That’s really the long and short of it.

I figured that would be what decide him

He has already made alot of money over the years, so he just wanted the big one, and the Pats are on that short list of teams.

If the Bills were a drug, I could only hope they were like speed so I could lose some weight as well.

by WABillsfan on Feb 27, 2009 6:12 PM EST up reply actions  

well then so far

I can’t complain one bit about this off-season. We’re one day in and we made a real shot at Fred Taylor, we have Coles in for a visit, an a number of potential other role players like Winborn and Florence. Not to mention they made a good offer at Jabari Greer too. Not too bad so far. We just need a couple more breaks

I think OBD is playing the cards right

We may not have signed anyone, but they are bringing alot of players and not going overboard on Money. With Langston, butler and Peters, we dont have to spend alot of money on the other 2 OL positions.

How many years can we go without making the playoffs...eventually the odds go in your favor.........right?!?!?

by Rudy916 on Feb 27, 2009 6:23 PM EST reply actions  

I actually think we’re getting overlooked

Birk isn’t coming here…reason?
Coles probably leaving without a contract and might be using it as leverage against other teams
Brown never even was mentioned (could be Buffalo’s choice)

seems like the older/experienced players are looking for a contender – and they might not think we fit that mold unfortunately

hope i’m wrong – but we have more holes to fill than we had yesterday morning – and we had a lot then

meh – tough being a bills fan sometimes – all we want to do is win and we continue our suckatude

Oh. Uh, will you hold my wallet for me while I take the test, please? There's a thousand dollars in there... or maybe there isn't. Know what I mean?

I unfortunatly think your right J

We are absolutly being overlooked.

I mght be a pessimist right now, but no one really looks like they want to come here. They either use as as leverage or overlook us all together.

Guys if this keeps up, i think this team will do a Raider’s style implosion next season.

Got some updates for you coming up, folks, regarding Coles, Fitzpatrick, Hangartner and Birk. Stay tuned.
