I guess the Bills did a good thing by letting him go eh?

[Homey D. Clown]

He was injured all the time here, I was not surprised to see that trend follow him to Philly...

[Captain Hindsight]

Shocked!

I don't recall him being injured much in Philly. He just sucked. Wasn't he benched halfway through the season?

[jeremy2020]

I've heard of him. Git r dun

[Captain Hindsight]

Vet min, always thought he was talented, Russ is cheap, no stone unturned, he sucks, who?

I guess so, though most people here were not happy about it at the time and thought the Bills should have offered him the big contract he was seeking.  There was a lot of talk about the Bills low-balling him.  In the end, the best deal he could get was a one year try-out with Philly that he failed.

Score one for the FO.

Bring him back for cheap and see how he holds up in camp.  Can never have too many tackles.

Totally agree.  Another good job by Nix.

[QCity]

Just another example of Nix not being able to re-sign our top talent and creating more holes in....oh wait...

[JPS]

Sucked when he was here. Sucked in Philly.

Next.

3.5 million is an expensive tryout

[benderbender]

I would rather take satisfaction in our players doing well than to see former players get their comeuppance, but seeing as how that's all we have at the moment, lets enjoy his failure

[Dr. Trooth]

Hmmm.  You mean the same D. Bell that most wallers thought the Bills should re-sign last year?

Glenn > Bell
Pears > Bell
Hairston > Bell
Young > Bell
Sanders has more potential.

Really?  Not me - I thought he played really well WHEN he was healthy, but when the heck WAS that?

And on the cheap he'd be a great backup where maybe he wouldn't get hurt playing part time.

I feel like I need to have a machine playing the "wa-waaaaaa" sound effect on a loop here. Maybe he's backup material with what we have now but I'd rather see what we can do with Glenn.

[JR in Pittsburgh]

I feel bad for the guy. Can't blame him for signing with the Eagles, who gave him a chance at a long-term deal.

He was always a raw prospect, and seemed to try his hardest when he was here.

if needed id prefer him at LT over young.

im not dying to sign him, but we could do worse for depth and i think hes likely in the process of realizing quickly that he is a depth player, not a cornerstone.
