No doubt the Bills will grab a couple of LB's and a WR. Its just a question of will there be any really flashy type acquisitions in free agency. Personally I would love if they would re-sign Levitre and bring in a WR and a few decent defenders. A few acquisitions that would really like 1- Resign Levitre 2- Laron Landry 3- Denario Alexander 4- Mike Devito 5- Rey Maualuga 6- Bart Scott (If Maualuga isn't signed) 7- A tight end of any worth Levitre is such a cog for our O-line and it would be hard to see him go. Alexander would be good to have at WR no QB is successful without good WR's (I don't see Alexander happening and Levitre is less than 50%). I think Devito and Landry would be good Jets cast offs to bring in. In terms of actually happening I see Devito as likely but Landry I don't know. Maualuga, I don't think he is too highly regarded around the league but I think the guy has good potential in a 3-4 and we need LB's.

I would be really bummed to see Levitre go. I think a deal in the 6-7 million range is more than fair. Sad to say that I think Levitre will be gone I see this as another Pat Williams situation, although I am not sure that Levitre only wants fair value or the max he can get. I think it will be hard to see Levitre go he is such a cog on a Bills line that was a mess when he first got here and finally came together the last couple of years thanks in part to his efforts. Hopefully they get a deal done and can work on bringing in a WR and some LB's.

Would love a guy like him, we are completely devoid of talent at LB so targeting that position would be smart.

For a 6th I wouldn't mind taking a chance on him. But its a lot to give up a higher pick for guy who can be a bit of a malcontent and is coming off a very off year.

Got to assume the team will be bringing in some free agents and likely Byrd back.

I don't hate it, not thrilled. I don't think Barkley is a terrible pick, best pro ready QB. Then draft him a few targets because we are just devoid of targets. We can sign some players to help on the defensive side and also supplement the WR position. Its all relative but in philosophy going heavy on offense isn't a bad idea.

Kelsay hung around at a very high salary for a few years longer than he should have. But that doesn't mean I hate the guy, he was a decent player who you never felt phoned it in which is always admirable. Sadly they probably told him he was going to be cut (Or would have to redo his deal), but rather than take a vet minimum to go into another teams camp and try to make a roster he simply decided to hang them up. Classy for the Bills to let him go out (If that's indeed what they did).Good news for the Bills to spend that cap relief on Byrd and Levitre and hopefully other free agents.

It speaks more so to the volatility of the league and the draft than the meaninglessness of draft evaluation. Players get hurt, are busts, traded or leave through free agency.

Sounds fair, That would be a decent full value contract. By no means a home town discount but not an overpay.

Coaching tree's are such BS, the NFL coaching ranks are very incestus pretty much everyone works with each other or someone who worked with someone at some point.

This is a moronic move. Who are they going to bring in in free agency that is going to be better? Let alone multiple players that are better? Nelson reminds me a lot of Joe Jurevicius a really big and dependable slot WR who can gobble up 1st downs. Such a idiotic move. Even as depth Nelson for under two million would have made much more sense then?

Landry would be a good pick up to bring in a player to help install the new defense. I wouldn't be opposed to Pace either to help out the front 7. But out of all the Jets rejects I would stay away from Bart Scott guy hasn't been good for two seasons now. If we suffer an injury or two at LB come camp and he is still on the market maybe bring him in then. But Bart Scott hasn't been living up to his namesake for a while now.

Don't think we need to take a QB early I would in philosophy take a WR as I think its our most glaring need. Its just is there really an impact player worth taking at that point? Are there much better options in round 2? If the draft has a lot of good defensive players at the top why shouldn't we go after one 8th overall? I also hope the team targets WR in free agency. Its hard to see use not going defense 1st round and QB 2nd round. We really need to resign Levitre and Byrd and add in some weapons on offense.

McGee, Barnett, Wilson, and the other cuts non-resigns all make sense to me. We need the cap space to resign Levitre and Byrd and go after better free agents like Landry (Who I think will be the Bills big free agent signing if you consider that a big signing). The Travaris Jackson signing makes zero sense to me, TJ sucks. I hope they try to bring in a few vets on defense to help transition to the new defense and if we spend on offense I hope we make a splash at WR. I am not expecting much out of free agency outside of a couple of mid level guys on defense (I am thinking Jets castoffs).

Travaris Jackson sucks.

McGee and Kelsay should be cut for sure. Even if you restructure Fitz contract they still can't afford to carry a lot of dead weight.

The Super Bowl should be on a Saturday in any weather conditions, its stupid for it to be on a Sunday. And anyone that thinks playing the Super Bowl in cold weather is a bad idea is kind of beyond my logic as I think the best case scenario is if it snows.

I think Fitz will restructure, its pretty clear he knows that this would be his best chance to play in the NFL as a starter. Knowing the roster getting a chance to compete for the starting job, that's more then he would have going into a different situation.

2, 4, and 5 all sound possible. Landry seems to like the Jets D and if we throw decent money at him I am sure he would consider coming here, possible that we resign both Levitre and Byrd if we get one done early in the off-season the other could see the tag, and its a defense heavy draft so stocking up on that end seems likely. Only issues I see are QB and WR. and 1 and 3 are fantasy scenarios. The way I see it is the best case is 2,4, and 5 happen and we make a move to trade for a QB while we maybe make a move for a mid level WR. But I know we are going to leave a couple of holes on the roster.

I think they might want Landry and a front 7 player like Calvin Pace to bring in some players that know the system and can contribute to it. I wouldn't be opposed to bringing in Landry but I don't see safety as a pressing need.

I don't think both guys were bad players but they were far from good. I was surprised at G.Wilson but he did regress last season. I would have kept Wilson. But releasing Barnett makes sense, guy was decent but replaceable and with a new coach you need to shake up the roster a bit. McGee and Kelsay should be next both big cap numbers that are under preforming.

I like the idea of Williams, Lloyd on the other hand if he was brought in on the cheap I guess wouldn't be a bad thing but I wouldn't bring in either guys as the answer for the teams needs at either position. DJ Williams would be a really good uber back up and Lloyd would be a plan C for WR.

Its such a mystery, Kelsay is overpaid based off of his performance yet he sticks around through multiple regimes. If the Bills are up against the cap and they don't cut Kelsay they are morons.

No way Harvin is looking for a huge deal and I don't think the Vikings want any thing less than a second rounder.

Bring him in for camp not a bad guy to take a chance on.
