He wont be healthy for several weeks supposedly. I would guess he wont get too much in salary. To me he is worth a workout and a cheap contract if we can get him. He need help in the secondary obviously.

Re: Troy Vincent available soon....why not?
 

You know what? I'll think I'll leave this one to the coaches.

Re: Troy Vincent available soon....why not?
 

Troy Vincent? How old is that guy? He's been around a long time if I'm thinking of the right guy.

Not for that price.

Re: Troy Vincent available soon....why not?
 

What I believe most of you are missing is that when he clears waivers, he is a FA, which means he can sign with anyone for the best deal he can get, not the $2.6M he will ALREADY BE GETTING from the Bills. There is only a $2.6M cap hit if someone claims him off waivers, and then it isn't $2.6, it's whatever the prorated remaining salary is at that time. He won't be picked up on waivers.

Assuming he's healthy by week 6, my bet is that he could be had for a $600k signing bonus and vet min for the remaining 10 games, which would be about $500k for the remainder of the year or $1.1M total cap hit for the skins. The guy is an experienced pro and we have a major deficit in the secondary positions currently. If he's healthy we'd be foolish not to at least consider it.

why not just play the guys that we drafted? Doughty has to learn sometime. Why not see if our investment pays off? Troy Vincent???? uhhhh....no.

Uhhhh, probably because we cant draft worth a crap after the third round and Douhty is what, a 6th round selection?

Re: Troy Vincent available soon....why not?
 

Vincent though is a very strong locker room guy. And he was coached by Jerry Gray recently so he should know our schemes. Worth a shot after he clears waivers imo. Might also help getting a professional veteran DB around Taylor and Toast to help them grow on/off field.

I also think Bobby Taylor is floating around looking for a team so we could go with a retro Eagles backup secondary circa 2003...(just kidding)

Ade Jimoh went undrafted. :)

And do we really have to go through Ade's history of toastism? (nice word huh?)

Re: Troy Vincent available soon....why not?
 

I was acrually placing the Toast moniker on Rogers after last week's game...

Re: Troy Vincent available soon....why not?
 

he can't make our secondary depth worse, and it's not like champ or ty law are going to be available for vet min any time soon.

why not. he' yet another injury prone player, but it seems like we're trying to corner the market on them anyways, so he can help us there too ;)

Re: Troy Vincent available soon....why not?
 

Doughty oh no...............

Re: Troy Vincent available soon....why not?
 

why is everyone here in a panic? we lost just ONE game? everyone needs to calm down alittle bit

Re: Troy Vincent available soon....why not?
 

this is calm. wait till next week. people will either start jumping off bridges or declaring how our team can't possibly do worse than 16 and 0.

yeah, i know, but that's life.

Re: Troy Vincent available soon....why not?
 

I would sign Vincent in a second but don't be surprised if he ends up back with Mean Green...
