    Bills fire their GM

    They drafted Nate Peterman. I thought they were going to draft Jim Kelly's nephew Chad Kelly who was the last pick of the draft. I wonder if there was some backlash for not taking Kelly. Having said that, there was speculation that Whaley would be fired after the draft. 

     

    Quote:

    "The writing seems to have been on the wall for months. Doug Whaley has been fighting reports about his impending firing dating back to last offseason. With the continued reports about Sean McDermott’s growing voice in the front office, it wouldn’t shock me to see a front office overhaul in May. I almost titled the Whaley opinion piece in my draft guide “Why Doug Whaley will be fired after the draft.” Even if Whaley holds onto his job while the scouts beneath him are rearranged, I think his days are numbered at One Bills Drive."

    Ah, I somehow missed their selection. Thanks. Still, I can't remember ever seeing a GM fired within 24 hrs of the draft

    I think Jones had a good record of playing in Baltimore.

     

    And I thiink he played 11-12 games for the Colts last year.

     

    The two seasons he didn't play much for the Colts, Jones suffered two high ankle sprains.   Those aren't his fault and are not a sign of an injury prone guy.     Stuff happens.

     

    I was hoping he'd re-structure his deal again this season.    Sorry it didn't work out.

     

     

    I would've been fine with a restructure, but that was never likely to happen, especially with Ballard sticking to his philosophy and bringing in his own guys. His fault or not, 17 out of 48 games is just not good (also had a suspension in there). I definitely didn't dislike the guy, just his price tag.

    We had 7 lineman last year,  you've just listed 4.    And none of them are NT starters.    I don't know why you think Jones can't play the nose,  he did often during his 3 years with the Colts.

     

    Parry is the missing name here.

     

    But we've lost all our quality depth this off-season at the D-line.    It's now late in the off-season to be signing a D-lineman of any quality.     And I doubt we're spending more than one pick on the D-line.     

     

    We are down bodies.    I'm sorry we were unable to workout a deal for a reduced contract for Jones.
     

     

    Can't really be counted as a body if you're never available to play
