i got a half-chub just thinking about Roy Williams on the eagles.

if it were roy williams there would be minimum 10 other teams that would get him before the eagles....the eagles dont get into bidding wars for players

Avant went to UM and Rogers went to MSU, so Avant is better.

Wrong. They get into them but only to a certain extent.

Now that I'll agree with.

PoopyfaceMcGee · August 16, 2006, 03:48:01 PM

Same end result.

There are no bidding wars in the NFL. Everyone always talks about it that way, but you act like if the Eagles say, okay we'll over a 4th and rayburn, then the Bears would come out and offer a 3rd.

Teams offer what they are going to offer and that's that. Sure, teams eventually up their offers, but that's not because of a bidding war, it's just the process of the negotiations between the teams.

Yea I am sure teams would not try to use multiple teams offering trades for the same player to their advantage.

that is incredibly accurate

ice grillin you · August 16, 2006, 04:02:45 PM

The BIGSTUD · August 16, 2006, 04:05:09 PM

It's not a bidding war though, and there are very few bidding wars in the NFL.

What happens in the NFL is, teams start off by offering small. Then when the teams reject those offers, they raise them up a bit. Ultimately, they offer what they are going to offer, and they won't up their offer significantly if at all, based on what another team offers.

When was the last time you saw two teams go back and forth fighting over a player in the NFL?

PoopyfaceMcGee · August 16, 2006, 04:12:55 PM

It happens plenty. You don't "see" it because you're not an NFL front office exec.
