Bills trade for QB...

[MoLewisrocks]

Tavaris Jackson to replace the backup disaster that Vince Young was for them. No details on the compensation or reduction to his ($4M...ouch).

We're doooooooomed.

Re: Bill trade for QB...

when I saw the thread title,I thought Bill Belichick traded for who?

 

[Uncle Rico]

I thought you said they traded for a quarterback?

 

[MoLewisrocks]

Sorry, I caught that...

Love these deck chairs on the Titanic type 11th hour moves... Reportedly the Seahawks were looking for a 5th. Amazing what these washout retread guys net. Young made $4M last season. Bills are trying to rework Jackson's deal down from $4M. No wonder QB's claw to hang on in this league. None of them get vet min. deals... JAGS get 7 figures and JAGS who ever showed a heartbeat in the regular season get $3-4M.

This is being reported as not yet a done deal:

Bills are talking to Tarvaris Jackson, and trade is not complete though it is likely. NFL.com - Official Site of the National Football League first reported the deal ...

Looks like Buddy Nix has just locked up a SuperBowl title...

If someone could point out the difference between Jackson and Young I would appreciate that.

 

[blackglass3]

Man, was Vince Young a bust or what?

I still think if the Titans take Matt Leinert he's successful.

Man, you just detonated some really good jokes.

 

[Gwedd]

Man, you just detonated some really good jokes.

So you're saying there's no happy ending there?

Difference is Jackson is bad and young is worse.

This is the same southern crackpot Buffalo GM who unsolicitedly drawled to the media that 'the Patriots don't scare me'.

That boy, he scared awright.

 

[YearbookCurfew]

Phew! I'm glad they traded for a terrible QB.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Jackson sucks, Young really sucks. It's a fine distinction.

Is this the end for VY? Maybe he'll make a comeback in the CFL

Maybe the Jets could use him. The QB job there isn't very demanding - all he has to do is prove he can get them into field goal range.

 

[MoLewisrocks]

Vince has tweeted his farewell to Buffalo...

Jackson's deal will allow him to make "up to $3M", although I assume that would be a worst case playing time scenario. His salary was scheduled to be $4M. Probably less than half that with NLTBE incentives.

 

[AzPatsFan]

It would apear that GM Nix is actually taking himself and the Bills prospects, seriously.

 

[IcyPatriot]

Too much Patron for old vince.
