You may be right, but I wouldn't read too much in to the restructuring of Culpepper's contract. He seems to be a stop gap solution while they are grooming their future qb. Having said that, I hope they do pick a qb with their first pick.

If Kellen Winslow was unhappy in Cleveland what makes anyone think he would be happy here? Doesnt he strike you as the kind of guy who want to be in a big market so that he can get all of the attention he didnt get from mommie and daddy when he was a kid..........
Oh but HES A SOLDIER!!
I gotta agree with you.
There is no doubt in my mind that about after a year or so, he would be on everyone's SH#*T List here.
Buffalo and preMadonna's are not a good mix.

When Haynesworth stomped on Gurode's head it disgusted me but I've changed my mind since then. This would be a welcomed attitude change for this team. No more nice guys please. I would love to see the Bills be a bunch of nasty, head stomping maniacs that are looking to taking no prisoners. We have players that think that they are thugs off the field but play like pansies on it. I say let's go get players that will at least play with some violence on the field. I'm tired of the fundraising players that have been making up our roster over the last several years. We don't need anymore boyscouts, we need some green beret mentality.
Amazing what a perennial All World player can do to change people's opinions.
Having said that,
I would love to have Haynesworth.
It would cost us though!
ALOT!!!!
-
Try throwing in minimum of a 1st round pick onto your package & maybe the cardinals will pick up the phone.
For sure! He would cost at least a first rounder and some.
But no less than a first rounder.
I never really liked the idea of having to Trade a high draft choice for a player and then work out an expensive contract. Seem's like a bit much to me.
But I won't be upset if we get him. Actually It'd be kinda cool ya know

Jenkins signing is a good move. His role on this team is not to be a productive wide reciever, it is to be a good special teamer. If he is not on the opening day roster, he will be on the practice squad, so if any reciever goes down he will be placed on the active roster, or they will field 6 recievers and his role would exclusively be for ST's.

Something must be in the water. Because there's no way McGee's not the best CB on this team right now. He may not lead the league in INT's or return kicks anymore, but he's a solid corner.
Go ahead and refer to the game at Miami where an injured McGee had issues covering Ted Ginn. That wasn't his fault, it was the .430 career winning percentage of a HC who didn't have the courage to play his top pick.
McGee will never be an All-Pro, but he's dependable. Considering the money, he's a good value as a CB.
I recall McGee struggling to learn the C2 back in 06 and the game against Detroit instantly comes to mind. But in those two years since, he hasn't been victimized in coverage, and is above average playing the run.
BTW, I love that term "trade bait." You can't expect to fetch any more than a 4th round pick in a trade, which means McGee is worth more than what you'll get in exchange for him.
I don't think that anyone other than a select few are doubting his play on the field. Those who bring up that example of the Miami game are being harsh and are your typical run of the mill fans who were angered of the outcome of the football game. The general consensus is that he is a very solid corner, and he is undoubtedly one of our better defensive players. The question is: If you value one year of solid service more than a 2nd, 3rd or 4th round draft choice? since we do have quality depth at that position, It is reasonable to consider trading him doesn't it?
-
Here we go with the ridiculous "trade chart" crap.
I don't know what's more ridiculous, the "trade chart" or you commenting on how ridiculous the "trade chart" is...

WOW, Mcgee has one bad game and everyone wants to trade him away. It only took Greer like 5 years to crack a starting lineup.
Sorry but i don't think Greer is anywhere near the talent Mcgee is.
Kota, it's not that everyone wants to trade Mcgee based on his play. There has been some harsh criticism by a couple of people, but the general over all consensus is that he is a quality db. The reason why it makes sense to consider trading Mcgee is for a few reasons.
1. His age is 29 and seems to be getting injured a little more now than in the past.
2. He is more expendable in the KO department, now that we have McKelvin.
3. We have good depth at the DB position with Greer, McKelvin, Corner and Youbouty
4. He becomes a FA at the end of next year. He would probably command a higher priced contract than Greer, considering his reputation and his value as a KO returner. Greer is not that much of a drop off from Mcgee and he is younger than Mcgee.
5. If we Resign Greer and look to trade Mcgee, we would at least get something decent in value in return, as opposed to him hitting the FA market.
6. If we don't resign Greer and Resign Mcgee next year, we would most likely spend more and we wouldn't get anything for letting Greer hit FA.
So basically, by trading Mcgee we save money, have no drop off from KO return duties, not much of a drop off in db coverage with Greer in, have a younger DB in Greer and gain a valuable draft pick or player in return.
This is why it makes sense.
-
I think it's reasonable to think that when anyone gets released that you take that player into some sort of consideration. Some get lots more consideration than others based on need, scheme, age, talent, etc.
McCalister no doubt when healthy is a top tier db, considering he has been hit with the injury bug over the last couple years, his high price tag and the big time players that the Ravens need to resign, he is more of a cap casualty than anything else.
Having said that, I don't see him getting any sort of serious consideration from the Bills Brass, He most likely will go for a lot more than $2 Million a year and we do have good depth at the DB position.

I've seen the guy play alot being in VA. We get almost all of the Maryland, UVA, VT, UNC, and NC State games in our "region". I know the guy is good in coverage. He had 7 picks and 5 more deflections. Some say he isn't going to time that well in the 40 and he's not as agile as other prospects, but he obviously makes plays. I know he had a key pass break-up against my team, ND, in the last couple minutes of the 4th quarter that cost us what would've been a first down to keep the drive going.
Your spot on H20. He most likely is not going to post a good 40 time and that is why he probably won't be a high pick. I've been a UNC Chapel fan all my life, and I saw the TarHeels play every game this year but 2. He may not post the fastest 40, but all he does is make plays. He was the leader of their defense, seemed to always be around the ball, and if he may be available late in the draft and I wouldnt mind drafting a safety that makes int's.

Here's my draft in that scenario:
21-Aaron Maybin OLB Penn State
28-Michael Johnson DE Georgia Tech
53-Jonathan Luigs OC Arkansas
85-Travis Beckum TE Wisconsin
107-Nic Harris SS Oklahoma
139-Corvey Irvin DT Georgia
170-Gartrell Johnson RB Colorado State
202-Maurice Evans DE Penn State

Astrobot, do you have any thoughts on a safety from N.C named Trimane Goddard?

I don't believe I want Mack after I heard how he was getting handled at the Senior Bowl practices, by everyone basically.
H20
that was not the lowdown on Mack for the Senior Bowl Practices, He was the consensus Best all around Center Hands down by most of the Draft gurus during the Senior Bowl. If you look back at some of the threads, you'll see the commentary. In some of those commentary's, they said that the only center that was able to handle Raji on at least some plays was Mack.
-
2 2nd round picks in the 1st? Brilliant!!!
Mack and Pettigrew 2nd round value's? what planet do you live on?
-
In thar scenerio I would draft #21 TE Brandon Pettigrew and #28 C Alex Mack. Second round choice would be Robert Ayers DE.
If it were to play out that way and we didnt get a Center or TE through Free Agency, This is what I would do as well.
-
As much as I would love to have Haynesworth, can we really afford to keep both him and Peters. There really wouldn't be too much more room for other players.
Some players would have to be sacraficed. I'm not opposed to that
Kelsay, McCargo, Royal, Trade Mcgee, Parish
This would free up some money. I know that if we cut Kelsay it wouldn't help in the cap number, but we all know that Ralph doesn't care about the cap figure, it's his bottom line figure that counts. So cutting Kelsay free's up a good chunk of change.
-
Regardless, offenses these days line up in multiple wide receiver sets on more than 50% of snaps. So you need to have at least three good, dependable cornerbacks.
If only we could be assured that Yobouty could stay healthy...
Don't forget about Reggie Corner. He looked awfully good in his last few games. That game against Cutler, He had at least 4 pass breakups, he seemed to have gained lots of confidence down the stretch. He plays aggressive and his coverage is tight from what I saw. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up having a significant role in our defense next year.
-
Raji is a 3-4 NT...Peria Jerry makes more sense for Bills..
Raji would play well in a 2-4 defense if there was one.
The guy will play well in any defensive scheme.
-
That's interesting to hear someone say, I find him woefully underrated. People seem to ignore the fact that Terrence McGee gets beaten regularly week in and week out, while Greer consistently limits the opposing WR to very little productivity.
This is usually where people point out that McGee faces the oppositions #1 WR every week, which is true...for about 65% of the game snaps. If you break it down, Greer spends anywhere from 20 to 25 snaps per game covering the opponents #1 WR, and consistently performs well in that role. He rarely gets beat, and even more rarely do other teams' seek to attack him in the passing game. I must disagree.
I wouldnt go that far. Mcgee plays at a high level, and is an above average corner. Having said that, I think Greer is also above average.
-
I personally would like for us to sign him. If we can have him for $5million a year, and trade Mcgee away this year, that would be an ideal situation.

This thread I Decree
SUCKS

This post just PROVES you are a HATER. ANYONE can go to the Bills official website & check out JP's highlights. He has played VERY WELL AT TIMES, including the LONGEST TD in the AFC in 2007 & the 5th longest in Team history, 85 YDs to Evans. 12 Carreer TD's of 40 YDs or more & numerous passes of more than 40 yards that didn't go for a TD. 340 PASSING YDS in 1 game in 2006. Trent has an arm NOW THAT is a MYTH.
I hate to say it. But your the hater. You got to get over it, JP is gone and to tell you the truth, he was never any good and never will. He just doesn't have a feel for the game. Where as Trent does. The sooner you accept it the better.

He played for Jauron in Detroit and is atleast familiar with the guy, he would probably come relatively cheap, and in light of recent events I don't think that we'll want to go through the first 4 games with just Jackson and Omon. I know that some of you are going to say I'm jumping the gun, overreacting, or something else talking about a suspension already, but Goodell did Lynch and the Bills a favor last season not suspending him. I don't believe he will be as fortunate this time. Kevin Jones can play in this league at a high level. He's had some injury setbacks, but it's not like he's going to carry the load around here. I think he'd be a good insurance policy just in case either of our two active RB's on the roster went down early in the season. He also didn't play much last season therefore he hasn't taken as much punishment on his body. He could be a quality addition.
Definitely jumping the gun H2o. Worst case he sits out four games, we'll be fine.

Our perpetual losing has been chronicled in detail over the last 10 seasons. Our perpetual ineptitude in the FO drafting and signing FA's has been a sore spot as well. Now we have a RB that can't seem to stop getting in trouble with the law. People laugh at us for our cheap owner, people laugh at us for various players we've passed up in the draft to take others or traded up to take, they laugh at us for giving people like Kelsay, Dockery, and Walker big money, and now they will laugh at us because we have star players who can't stop living out a Tupac song. This is a joke and a bad one at that.
They onlyO thing they laugh at is the 4 superbowl losses. Ouuuch! But seriously, We are hardly the laughing stock, this year Detroit wins that hands down! Last year The Dolphins! And as far as Lynch being a possible source of humiliation, it isn't. Didn't you know? All the cool Athletes are doing it today

Brown knows Jauron. Tell me why he would want to play for him again? I would think playing for Jauron would be near the bottom of his list.
What a populist comment without any merit.
I guess you really don't keep up with what happens in the NFL. Just because you don't like Jauron as many others here don't, doesn't change the fact of what other players that have played for him feel about him. He is liked very much from his ex and current players. I am not defending his coaching ability, I am stating a fact.
Having said that, I wouldn't mind having Brown on our team. It would have to be for the league minimum, with all sorts of incentives based on playing time, injury and performance.
He is injured more than half the time, but when healthy he is a very productive player and I think that he could help out our young safety's.
Possible Boldin Destinations?

The problem with trading for Boldin is the amount of $$ that we commit to our wide recievers. Lee Evans is getting $9 Million a year and Boldin you got to figure would be another $10Million a year easy. I can't think of any teams that agree with committing to top dollar and #1 WR pay for two people on their pay. This is a philosophy that no team is committed to, because of the ramifications of what it could do to their team. It waters down the rest of the quality of a team.
Think about it for a second. $20Million a year for 2 people at the same position. That leaves $100 Million for the other 50.
So if we did that, then what your saying is that you expect to have quality players at the other 50, playing for an average salary of $2million a year.
hmmm
Doesn't make sense to me.
Not to mention the draft picks that we have to trade away.
Don't get me wrong, I would love to have Boldin, but not at the expense of committing $20 Million to two players of the same position and two top picks.
