Schefter says Buffalo/NYG/Oakland interest in Leinart deal (1 Viewer)

He better hope he doesn't end up in Buffalo. Do you have any idea what it costs to heat a hot tub there?

-I think Schefter may have screwed the pooch on this one. All three teams are adamantly denying that they have interest in Leinart right now. Schefter fired back at the Bills by saying that he has two credible sources that told him that the Bills had ongoing talks with Arizona earlier this summer.But that's completely different than the Bills expressing interest right now. Just because they had interest in June doesn't mean that they have interest a week before the season starts. And Schefter clearly implied that the interest was current and made it sound as if these teams contacted the Cardinals recently due to the demotion and all of that stuff going on. It really comes across as either Adam Schefter trying to make a bigger story by using old information without bothering to see if it was still valid, or Schefter just outright carrying water for the Cards and trying to drum up a trade market. Poor showing by Schefter IMO. Especially trying to justify his current report and basically calling the Bills liars when his info is old and misleading.vxz

Of course all of the teams will deny it. Why wouldn't they? No team will give anything for Leinart with his contract, plus they all know he is going to be cut.

THANK YOU, MR. ROOKIE CONTRACT GUARANTEED MONEY!

But...but...but...NFL contracts are not guaranteed. That's why it's OK for players to hold out.

They aren’t which is why if the Cardinals cut Leinart they don’t have to pay him whatever money is left on the contract.
