If they can just keep EJ on the field for a full season or very close to one. FIXED.

Change the title.... he's signed pending physical results!!! http://www.rantsports.com/nfl/2014/03/14/lb-brandon-spikes-signs-with-buffalo-bills-what-does-this-mean-for-new-england-patriots/

I'm with you... the Graham and Carpenter contracts are MASSIVELY undereported... two moves that are going to provide an excellent way ahead. Now we can see what the draft brings us and possibly land Vick as insurance. I'm good.

HAHAHA..... that is FUNNY. The Raiders haven't won jack since what, 1983? I sincerely doubt Ralph Wilson is anywhere NEAR as bad as Al Davis... have the Bills ever MOVED... ever???? NO, so we don't have that circus. Plus, how many Raiders have been elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in the last 10 years? I'll take our history any day of the week, because even though we have never won a Super Bowl we have far better fans, far better tailgates, far better loyalty, far better people on the field, and a town that will never be supplanted by Los Angeles. I'm throwing stones still despite what you say, because at the end of the day, the Buffalo Bills will still be Buffalo many years into the future, and the Raiders will continue to be a joke and always a possible team to move again for the 8,000,000th time.

The Bills have seen the FA market and went, "Meh." They are going for depth and counting on intelligent drafting. Next season, if Manuel fails to impress or is injured again, we're going to get someone if we don't work something to follow up on this "push him" article I read.Tagging Byrd would have been a distraction we didn't need... if it means holding off a year to not throw money at guys just to do so, I'm good with it.

YES, a $9 million safety's not going to get us another 2+ wins... he's not Ed Reed. We need offensive help and a linebacker at least ASAP.

You think Freddy is not talented!?! That's hilarious, and proves my point. We're not going to get more wins with "All Pro" "$9 mil a season" "invaluable" safeties like Byrd.... nope. BTW, the best safety in the league plays in a Chiefs uniform, and he's not a b#!!@ and a jerk and selfish. Easy day.

All Pro based on past reputation, not PRESENT play... sounds so familiar. Fred Jackson has heart and has given everything to be the best RB even after we got CJ. Byrd was a selfish, overrated jerk who sat and pouted with some "foot injury" like a B@#!@, and now he's someone else's problem. DELUSIONAL.

If you think Jairus Byrd is worth $9 mil a season and is the best safety out there, then you're delusional. Fred Jackson IS worth a pay raise if he asked for one, Byrd is NOT, flat out. Now, it is moot. Finally.

4 years, $9 mil a year, $20 mil guaranteed, Cleveland Browns. Ohh, and 04-24-55-43-23-07 because the odds of winning the Powerball are slightly worse.

Time to let the Byrd finally fly the coop, and fix this team offensively. So glad that the Bills learned from the inane Stevie contract and didn't keep a player just to keep him. Thankfully this is NOT business as usual, despite what you doomsayers think. Overpaying for a safety that won't get us at least 8 wins is terrible anyways.

Sign the guy PLEASE, no trifling over $$$.. he shows consistency that is pretty damn good. Hopkins can go fly a kite... we've dumped drafted guys before, nothing new.

Really now? Depends on who you cut... and so it is your contention that Woods and Goodwin are barely NFL caliber? Please, how do you get to that conclusion?

Mario Williams wanted to play here... so what are you resting on now? Paying what he is worth? For us, playing a safety that money is counterproductive and hurts our progress in other areas. Tax bills? I'm sure that Thurman and Jimbo would argue the taxes aren't that big of a deal if you get an NFL salary. Give me a break. Overpaying for a safety is just a bad move, considering who we could get with that money. Our coach isn't Dick Jauron, you know.

A great leader still has to produce and be a positive influence on the team. Marrone finally sees this act, and now we'll finally jettison SJ I hope. Defending this guy with some lame excuses that all his WRs think he's a great leader is just insane.

Fixed.

From Tim Graham. Thank God. Now hopefully we can finally finish the work we started by drafting Woods and Goodwin, and get this offense built up like it should be.

I'm just as excited about him leaving. Our offense needs major work, and our defense is almost there. That's a lot of cash to free up to go after someone. Don't share my opinion? Too bad. Didn't want Stevie back, don't want Byrd back.

That's far scarier... 1991? Man, I'm OLD. When I was born, The Juice was going for 2,000.

He might have very well been one of the guys in their locker room that quit and got Munchak fired. NO THANKS.

Pure hyperbole... wow. Is being homosexual based upon environment, genetics, a combination of the two, or what, because it is most certainly not a majority lifestyle. That's what I took from it. People looked down on it and worse for centuries in most places, and yet it still happened despite risking death, maiming, etc. Those are questions people will continue to ask because it is a mystery, not because everyone is homophobic. Please...

So, why don't you add Thurman Thomas to that list (crucial turnovers) and Jim Kelly (injury prone, turnovers) to the list as well? It's a team game... DUH

That's right... there is always a reception with the enshrinees before the event.

<------ FINALLY!!!!!!!!! I'll be there August 1st, like I was for Thurman's enshrinement. This is a GREAT, GREAT day.

Heaven just was +1ed.... no doubt.
