As of Wednesday afternoon, Ahman Green and Travis Henry had found new homes, Jamal Lewis, Dominic Rhodes and Corey Dillon are still looking for new homes, and Willis McGahee may soon not have a home.
Green jettisoned Green Bay to sign a four-year deal with Houston while Henry, after being released by Tennessee, caught on with Denver. Lewis has a “take it or leave it” offer from the Ravens on the table, but is scheduled to meet with the Browns today and is not expected to re-sign in Baltimore. At one point, Rhodes appeared to be heading to New York to become a Giant, but instead is talking with Buffalo. Dillon also has a meeting set up with the Bills, which means McGahee’s days in Buffalo are likely offer.
The Bills have actively shopped McGahee since the start of free agency with Denver, Green Bay and Baltimore among teams interested. Before anyone wonders why Buffalo is willing to give up such a young talent in McGahee, let me highlight some points that I made on a previous post:
– He’s been slapped with three paternity suits from multiple women
– He has chosen not to take part in Buffalo’s offseason workout program
– He has often made noise about his contract
– Told Penthouse magazine that he thought the team should move to Toronto
– He’s had various nagging injuries that have limited him in games.
– Despite chewing up the yardage, hasn’t averaged over 4.0 YPC since ’04, when he was exactly at 4.0.
BUYER BEWARE.
