...and the Clay enthusiasm has passed....we now have Gragg and nothing else

Looks like Percy will either be a Bill or a Patriot by the end of the week.

Supposedly he's visiting Buffalo, including looking for houses (which may be just for show), and expects an offer sheet tomorrow. Cleveland is also expected to make a serious push for him, and the 'Phins can always match. Pretty sure that's all there is. I wouldn't expect anything new on this front until the weekend at the earliest.

Clay is an upgrade at TE but it isn't like landing him fixes the TE void now and forever. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good they said...now is our time to push for success so whatever. I would be more excited over some additional OLmen touted to be truly solid.

Agreed. People forget how unbelievably good he is when healthy and plugged into an offense. We wouldn't have to lean on him either. At a price we can afford, he would put the offense talent over the edge. We do still need another 2 OLman, a TE, and a few Rex filler-picks on D. If we can do all of that...go for it. I mean, with Bob Woods, Percy Harvin, Sammy Watkins, and Charles Clay running routes and Shady running behind what will hopefully be a good line....I believe even Matt Cassel could have success.

Board police, nobody cares. I'd rather have 2 or 3 topics on and issue than a single million page topic anyway. BTW, is this off topic?

Bills should roll into the contract a guarantee that 5+ games will be played in New York state.

bring in 2 more on the OL, a TE, and some cheap filler Rex randomly wants for the D. Then draft freely.

Not a great blocker but probably ideal for both parties. The Jags have unbelievable cap space and it is Julius' time to truly cash in. He will make their offense more capable of scoring than they were before.

The way I see it, this is our window. Don't let this D fall apart. Keep Hughes.

I like our CBs but I don't trust any of them with a true #1 on an island. Gilmore will grab people at the line but if they get by him it's over.

RB is important to this team, more so than to the average NFL team I think. It's ok to have more $ tied in that position than most teams.

Sorry I meant Julius Thomas not D. Thomas

I can't think of a FA more valuable to us. Our window is now. That would be the most universally hailed signing, I wouldn't care if we paid him double market value and lost Hughes to do it. Thoughts?

He's had 14 games in two seasons and was unplayable this year. At best, give him another 16-32 games and he can be reliably playable. More practically, he's a total bust. Sanchez last year >>>> EJ last year. We're too good right now as a franchise to not get that.

I just fail to see how rolling w/ EJ is an option for a team as good as this.

Impossible. Obviously not something I can prove, but it would be a tragedy if a Sanchez quality QB were backing up EJ ... a clear sign that we are committed to wasting our window on EJ. And don't get me wrong, Sanchez is not great. But he has no business backing up EJ (if if EJ somehow looked a little better in practice [which means little to nothing]).

What!? If Sanchez is on this team there is no way he's backing up EJ. That would be ridiculous.

WSJ reported today that 48% of Americans disapprove of the visit without first clearing it through the WH. However, the same poll also reported that nearly half of Americans have not seen, heard, or read coverage on the issue (despite only ~20% saying they had no opinion on whether they approved or disapproved) lol. http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2015/03/01/nearly-half-of-voters-disapprove-of-gops-netanyahu-invite/

We always need to be f'ing with Russia. Nobody is going to send kids to die though.

43 at least attempted to sell the world on it, was able to drag 3 other major countries into it with him initially (despite us having the vast majority of troops), and succeeded in dragging dozens more into it in some capacity. Russia just moved in without even doing the dance.

Is anyone unhappy with the internet currently? Why is this even a discussion?

I doubt Brees would move.

Percy is a great football player and the Bills would be better off with him. We don't need it though, not for any significant amount of cash.
