Tom Donahoe doesn't care what Travis says or does, he'll only make a deal if it's good for the team (and they are not at all sold on LJ Shelton). They'll keep Travis as a backup to McGahee (and he will play) if they don't get the right deal, and right now the posturing between the 2 teams is going opposite directions. The bills recent signing of G Bennie Williams spoke volumes, it opened up the move of Ross Tucker to Center and Trey Teague to LT. Teague played LT in Denver.
BTW, I do not think teams should comment on a player until after the tendering team has made their decision to match or decline. Not just in this case, but in the case of all players. We shouldn't be making comments that could influance a persons decision.

So you're going to say this is different in some way than when the league as a whole discussed trying to screw over the Insects (I think it was) last year when they had 4 bids out on RBs? While those bids were pending, multiple teams were talking about possibly everyone not matching and watching them make cuts to get under the cap. If that kind of talk is allowed, why would this not be? That seems like BS hair spliting to me. Though I do think this kind of talk should be kept in a RFA chat thread like we had last year.
