Greg Johnson Eric Quotations

I think Eric is due that respect by the Buffalo Bills. We need to find out what his fair market value is and we're going to determine that by finding what other teams out there are willing to pay him. ... We'll never determine that if we just continue to go back and forth with the Buffalo Bills.

I think Eric would like to stay. He's big on loyalty. But it's got to make good sense for both parties. It's got to be truly, truly a win-win situation.

We would much rather have Eric released. If we can work out a trade, we will. But if not, ... Eric won't play for the Bills.

We're exploring an opportunity for Eric to play for the Texans. If all sides can see eye-to-eye, we'll make it happen. But everyone has to see eye-to-eye.

Eric is looking forward to being a Buffalo Bill, as he always has. A Buffalo Bill for life.

We are shopping Eric. Obviously, we would much rather have Eric released. But if we can work out a trade, we will. But if not, we're back to Square 1 and Eric won't play for the Bills. He doesn't want to play for them, and he will not play for them.

The bottom line is they want Eric to take a drastic cut and we don't feel his skills have diminished to justify that. It's just not going to work.

It's time to move on. Eric loves Buffalo and we wish things could be worked out. But I don't see that happening.
