I think the Bills should take a look at him. He's a good player. He could compete with Woods for the #2 spot IMO. Coming off injury, would be relatively cheap. He was at about 3mill/yr with Cleveland.
@profootballtalk
Browns release veteran WR Brian Hartline, per source.
If going to kick the tires of a veteran why not Marlon Brown who has size (6-5) and spent a little time with Tyrod in Baltimore.

TT run totals inflate our rushing totals. TT is going to have to improve as s passer for us to take the next step. As right now I classify as a bottom 3rd QB as a passer. If he canove to a middle of pack guy and our defense can become better at stopping the run then we're easily a playoff team. As to me is continually building the defense and hoping to hit on a good enough QB that won't break the bank but seems to have enough forethought to put us in cap jail. The Bengals to me a model of what we trying to become and to a lesser extent the Chiefs.Except going with TT was a reach also as it is with making any change to your teams QB. Fact is you can't run the ball with a crap QB. Tyrod is one of the reasons we run the ball well - and not just because he himself runs.

What is the date when Free Agents can be signed and NOT count toward the net/net FA signings wrt compensatory picks? I don't think Whaley will try to sign anybody until after that date. He wants to acquire some comp pick(s) next year - which will make up for trading away the 2017 4th rounder.
I'm pretty sure either way Slauson wouldn't count as he was cut by the Bears and not a true UFA ie guy whose contract ran out.
-
I'd rather Chris Palmer working with him than Lee. To me this a low risk high reward pick this point in draft.I don't love this pick because any QB taken in the later rounds is typically a wasted pick.
And yet... we had to pick a QB at some point. Both our QBs are nearing the end of their contracts and TT is not a proven franchise guy.
Jones is raw but has shown flashes of brilliance. Let's say Roman and Lee mold him into a quality backup. Is he still a waste of a 4th round pick? How much is a good backup QB worth?
-
we signed that ufa from the Vikings who has NFL starting experience. I think we will take a S in the draft but not until day 3.I think it will be S.
Cravens, Bell, Green. No particular order, we'll see who's left at their pick.
-
It depends who else is there, I mean if Shaq Lawson there no way.If Tunsil keeps falling, take him? You win on the OL and we need help.
-
They collected picks before or trade down with ATL and us for Julio and Sammy and bit them in ass. They still have to prove they can draft.CLE stockpiling picks? They might have a brain in their draft room finally.
-
Chip collecting Ducks again?
-
You can find receivers who can 40 passes who can block almost everywhere.
I still think this offense would benefit more from another dual threat TE. I loved O'Leary but if there was a good prospect in a good spot in the draft, I'd draft one.
I agree that a TE could be a surprise pick for us in the first 4 rounds of the draft. I'm not opposed to taking a WR if a quality D-lineman not available. I know we need a LB but Whaley has shown he can locate quality LBs in Rounds 2 in Kiko and Rounds 3 in Preston Brown.
-
Hoyer would make sense if they can afford him since he has played there in the past unless they have faith in Jimmy G, which I wouldn't.
-
Say 10-6, decent stats, no injuries.....
Do you pay him $20M per year??
What are your MINIMUM expectations for him to sign him long term?
It depends, what are his stats? As record alone isn't going to secure him a salary IMHO. Also depending what it's worth we could do the franchise tag one year thing and give him another chance to prove himself before give him a long term BIG contract. Sort of like the Redskins did with Kurt Cousins.
-
Losman was a great looking qb from an NFL scout perspective. The dude just didn't have the instincts.
When we brought in Sam Wyche to mentor him I thought the light was going to come on for the kid.
I will always remember his long throws to Lee Evans. They had some good ones.......
Breaking his leg and missing out his full rookie year may have cost JP's development that said he wasn't overly accurate at Tulane as think he's competition percentage was less than 60% which some consider a red flag.
-
that was the time to trade up.
There was talk we tried to trade up with Houston but they wouldn't bite.
-
You need a lot of DB's in today's game and we lost two with Leodis and Ron Brooks gone
Stephen Gilmour might be the casualty if Tyrod has another stellar season and gets paid by us
Might be the position with the highest talent level in this draft
Predicting one taken in the first 3 rounds
Did you see we signed 3 guys in UFA that have experience at CB in the NFL? They may not be household names but think between Javier Arenas, Corey White and Sterling Moore any one of them is better than Brooks. In terms of better than McKelvin it's debatable. That said the only way I see us drafting a CB early is if Whaley is preparing to let Gilmore walk after this season.
-
I'm not sure if the Crabtree comparison is good or bad. He was very mediocre for his first 5 years and only broke out for another franchise.
Crabtree was hurt most of his career in San Francisco but did play under Roman there.
-
Easley? This guy might well start as DB !
Again, I said at worst. I expect him to do more yet only see him starting if Aaron Williams or Corey Graham are hurt.
-
I posted this before but ask Cleveland fans if they'd rather have Sammy or Justin Gilbert & Cameron Erving and Ibraheim Campbell right now?
-
I'm surprised the agent didn't negotiate major playing time/production incentives into his contract. Again, shame on him.
He did that's why he's an UFA after this year and not next year. This where I think Whaley shows his forethought of buildingg a roster as feels like he knew we wouldn't have the cap space to pay for a franchise QB in 2016.
Sammy's great, no doubt, but this is an overstatement. Most of Tyrod's deep completions were simply well-thrown balls.
Now if he could just find Clay in the middle of the field more and/or let Robert Woods show what he did as a rookie under EJ and TT will be a complete QB.
-
Paxton Lynch is going to be drafted somewhere mid-first round. Why not by Buffalo, instead of one of those fat boys that end up eating themselves out of football? You can still get one of them later on...they're a dime a dozen. We need an impact QB. Lynch just looks like the best one in this crop and might be available at 19. Another EJ? Probably. But worth the shot until you get one who carries a team.
Give me Conner Cook before Lynch as seems like guys who emerge out of no where (like Lynch) usually ended up busting more then guys that tend to be highly sought of before the draft. As Cook might be another Andy Dalton which isn't a bad thing.
That's what everyone said about Flutie and Warren Moon and Russell Wilson.
He's only 1 inch shorter than Drew Brees. Can that really be a deal breaker? A smart OC would get him out of the pocket and design passing lanes for him.
All these guys are flyers this year. Why draft a guy like Hogan who might be a decent backup someday?. If going for a flyer, take the guy who may be magic. He was at Eastern Washington and Oregon.
Moon and Flutie never did anything in the NFL playoffs and both took time to develop their craft in the CFL which isn't a reality in today's NFL, Wilson was winning in the playoffs when he had a healthy Lynch and o-line and Drew Brees is the exception not the rule. Sorry I prefer a QB to be 6'2" or taller but prefer 6'4"

I'm hoping the psu ties aren't the ones I think you are referencing
I was referencing Pegula, as remember hearing/reading Polian told the Pegulas not to reach for Hackenberg in Round 1 this year.
I would rather have AJ McCarron than Hogan, Hackenberg, Prescott, or Cook. If Cincy comes calling for #19 then see if they are willing to make the trade.
Of all those you listedn I like Cook the best for #19 but honestly none of them are worth that pick. I say take Cook in Round 2 or take a flier on a guy they like most with our second 4th Round pick and then sign a UDFA like Chuckie Keeton.
1) stop judging college Qbs on wins. Most draft able Qbs win in college. It's a stupid point.
2) he was essentially Trent Dilfer his first 3 years of college. Stanford is set up so the qb won't cost them the game. They are an excellent program that is loaded with talent. David Shaw is the top NFL prospect on that team.
3) if you are drafting a qb in the 4th or later, you should go with potential. IMO, Hogan has completely hit his ceiling. I could never see him winning a game in the NFL with his arm.
He's a smart and tough kid but he is completely maximized right now. There is no upside. He is what he is. A solid college qb who played in a great system with good talent and a superstar player. His ceiling in the NFL is backup qb at best. Obviously, JMO and he seems like a good dude.
Potential is a dangerous word in the NFL especially with regard to QB as learned this after watching RJ/Edwards and EJ. All guys I liked but eventually all failed.
-
At the very least it sounds like he could replace Marcus Easley and make us take a WR to develop and at best maybe a guy who can be a spot starter/nickel/dime specialist. I like the pickup but wonder if we'll try and bring Rambo back on the cheap too?
-
I bet if asked Cleveland fans if they'd prefer to have Justin Gilbert, Cameron Irving and Ibraheim Campbell or Sammy Watkins I'm pretty sure most would side with us.

Something tells me that the Bills will draft him in the 3rd round this year. Whaley said that he is the most NFL ready QB in the draft and he fits the offensive system. I see him as a poor mans Andrew Luck and I have a real good feeling about Him. I like Tyrod, but I don't know if he has enough to get us to the promise land. I think Hogan will be special.
I think he was recruited to Sanford when Roman/Harbaugh were there so it makes sense to connect them. Yet if we take him the 3rd is a bit early he might be there with our second 4th Rounder which be a better spot. I could also see us taking a chance on Hackenberg because of his PSU ties and Polian once talked about us maybe going after him too early in the draft.
-
As long as he costs less and commits less penalties than Ler Smith this is a solid depth signing which we lacked for years in previous regimes.

He didn't include guys like that as it was "too easy".
