Low cost FAs to fill some needs.
billsfan89 replied to ChanOverChin's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I would like Casey Hampton we don't really have a pure NT on the roster. Yeah Darues and D.Williams have played well at NT but I think having a true space eater from a winning team/system would be a good fit. Leonard and B.Scott would be good fits as cheap backups to help teach the system. B.Moore would be a good fit to fill a hole on the O-line for a year or two. Still some good bargains out there but they need to start on it quickly -
Matt Hasslebeck released by Titans
billsfan89 replied to PJBrown7's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Bingo Tavaris Jackson sucks, seriously Fitz is much better than T.Jax. -
Wouldn't hate the pick at all, no QB available and the best LB is taken. Might as well give the receiving core a huge boost

NFL team in LA pretty much dead....
billsfan89 replied to Just Jack's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The Raiders and Chargers and even Jags are much more likely to move to LA than the Bills. I don't discount it as a possibility for the Bills to move there but I think its less likely now. -
The only two things I will say as a negative is that Spikes will take away time from younger players and he doesn't know the system. At least with a guy like Bart Scott you get someone who can help teach the new system. Spikes would likely be learning along with the new guys. Hopefully they can bring in a couple of LB's, a NT, and a Guard before the draft gets here. That being said if they did bring in Spikes it wouldn't be the worst thing.

The jury is still out for sure. But I don't have an issue with the Freddie extension it wasn't big money and it wasn't guaranteed beyond the first year which we are past now. Freddie wasn't a mistake at all if you ask me.

Bucs make Goldson highest paid safety
billsfan89 replied to QCity's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Have to believe they would trade Byrd if they didn't want to sign him I think that its likely he is going to see $$. In a passing league DB's are going to get paid fairly well. -
They seem to be making a lot of moves. But as good as their defense is I think that Russell Wilson will have a sophomore slump. The league will adjust to him and he will regress a bit. Outside of Luck I think all the rookie QB's (Kapernick included) will have sophomore slumps.

Its the NFL you can't plan too far ahead in the NFL. I wouldn't mind bringing in Dansby for a 1-2 year stop gap. We need to help forge an identity on the defensive side a veteran or two would go a long way to help growing the team.
-
At this point Troup is an afterthought. A nice bonus if he can come in and play. But while I am rooting for the guy I certainly am keeping my expectations low.
-
Its a relatively deep free agent class. Letting the big contracts be handed out early and then pounce on mid level players who offer good production at a much better value. Hopefully in the next week we see some more movement.
-
Buddy has a good track record of signing interior linemen off the waiver wire. Urbik out starting RG and Reinhart a quality backup was also picked up off the waiver wire. Even Pears our RT was a low grade free agent and he was plugged in and very solid. Buddy seems to be able to acquire quality guards on the cheap with regularity. Maybe paying nearly 8 million for a guard wasn't a prudent decision because they feel they can replace them with ease? Seems much more like a Nate Clements situation as opposed to a Pat Williams situation.
-
That sucks if that report is true. Its a deep class so hopefully they make the right moves.
-
The sense on this board about Levitre is similar to what I felt about losing Nate Clements. It was tough to lose a good player and make no bones about it Levitre was a very good player. But its hard to pay top dollar for a guy who wasn't by far one of the best at his position. Unlike Pat Williams who was willing to take a very reasonable deal somewhat below what he would have gotten on the market to play with the Bills, this was a case of the Bills making a sensible but hard decision.

Welker to test Free Agency (Update - now a Bronco)
billsfan89 replied to Billsrhody's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He ended up getting a raise over the next two years and more guaranteed money on the back end so I don't think Brady is too beat up about it. Welker left the best situation for him productivity wise and went to one of the few were he will still likely catch a 100 plus receptions. Vasquez and Welker the Broncos are really serious about winning this year. -
OG Chad Rinehart signs with Chargers
billsfan89 replied to BRAWNDO's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Guards are easy to replace. Losing Levitre hurt but it was a sensible decision given the cost and the position but there are still options like Matt Slauson or Brandon Moore out there that while not as good as Levtire will still give you solid production at that position. Also Reinhart was a waiver wire pickup as was Urbick and Pears. Give Buddy credit he seems to know how to find guards on the cheap. -
Decent signing, we needed bodies there plain and simple adds to a unit that is very thin. Can play in the new system. We still should go out sign a couple of other guys though a lot of talent is still out there. Good to see the team making a move though.
-
From watching the Jets I see him as an OK guard. Would rather have Brandon Moore as stop gap and draft a kid in the mid rounds. Wouldn't be a bad signing for 2.5ish but I think Moore is a much better guard.
-
so let me get this right.........
billsfan89 replied to SUNTANBILLSFAN's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Fans get antsy and it was tough to lose Levitre. Even if Levitre might have gotten a bit of a fat contract he was still a good player who helped turn around the offensive line as a unit. I hope we make some quality signings in the next couple of days. Bills need a WR badly, the QB situation isn't resolved, now they need a guard, and they still have issues on defense. -
Would love to see the Bills make three moves. 1- Sign B. Pollard, 2- Sign DHB and 3- Sign Brandon Moore. Moore would be a nice plug in a Guard, DHB would be a good chance to take to help the WR position .And Pollard is a good safety who would help give the defense an identity. Although Pollard is a stretch DHB and Moore are actual possibilities. We still need some more LB's would like to see us grab another one.or two. And I would like to see the Bills make a run at the NT the Jets released as a one year stop gap he would be a nice chance on the cheap.

Mike DeVito: Visiting KC, Unlikely to leave
billsfan89 replied to The Big Cat's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I would have really liked him but you can't get them all. -
I hope we can get Brandon Moore would be a really good stop gap guy, knows the head coach. Wouldn't be too much of a downgrade from Levitre.
-
Levitre got what he could, good on him. Its going to be hard to lose him. Anyone who watched him knew he was a key cog in the turnaround of the O-line. But 7.8 per year for a guard is tough to match when you can find guards who can do a good job for much less. Tough loss for the Bills but I hope they make a move to bring in a guard, Brandon Moore would be a nice fit.

The Bills do not have a need at DT?
billsfan89 replied to Beerball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Would love to see Devito to help out at the DE and I think that the system isn't a pure 3-4 its a hybrid so expect a lot of 4-3 fronts. Although I think its safe to say a mid round DL is likely going to be brought in.
