At least the Bills will get a 3rd comp pick next year depending on FAs that come here . I don't see a run for a WC this season , player turnover , new coaches , playbooks. It's the start of a rebuild jmo

INDIANAPOLIS -- Free-agent linebacker Lorenzo Alexander said Tuesday his agent would be meeting with representatives of the Buffalo Bills here Saturday to discuss a new contract with the team. https://buffalonews.com/2017/02/28/alexander-says-agent-will-meet-bills-saturday/

$54B more for military $100B more a year for infrastructure total $1T big tax cuts for individuals and business build the wall The budget deficit would be huge

Corey Davis, widely seen as one of the top two receivers in the class, had ankle surgery last month and will not participate LB Reuben Foster, viewed as a first-round prospect, recently had rotator cuff surgery and is on a four-month rehabilitation program. Malik Hooker, forecast as a top 10 pick, is also going to miss the Combine workouts due to core muscle and hip surgeries Fournette expected to run He was hampered by a low and high ankle sprain and a bone bruise in his foot all through the 2016 campaign Ryan Ramczyk, considered the best offensive tackle in the class, is also won’t be on the field at the Combine following hip surgery for a torn labrum http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/5-things-to-know-about-the-2017-NFL-Combine/d2d28a4f-3058-4ed8-b339-acb6820812fd

It would be ironic if the Bills do not draft Chad but NE takes him in the 7th rd and he develops there into the next franchise QB after Brady. I would take him with our late 5th rd pick. jmo The Bills passed on another hometown player named R. Gronk . Mack would have been good here also after watching him at UB

Curious what trade Philly would offer for Shady.

Once a Bill , Kamar Aiken is a FA , 6'2'' , 75 catches for 944 yards in 2015. Easier for Taylor to see him http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/7097/kamar-aiken

A large signing bonus for Gilmore could lessen his cap hit the next 2 seasons at least. I think it will be up to McD whether to keep him just like Taylor.

Taylor will be an expensive bridge . I would have preferred making Rick Wagner a offer he can't refuse at RT jmo Brian Hoyer is a pretty good quarterback. Not a good backup quarterback, a good starting quarterback. It's also not like the Bills would be making an even swap by adding Hoyer and getting rid of Tyrod Taylor. Hoyer's price tag will come at a much more reasonable rate, probably around 5-7 million per year on a one or two year deal. This will allow Buffalo to sign ( or re-sign) a solid to above average starter with the additional cap room. http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2017/2/24/14735382/brian-hoyer-is-actually-pretty-good

Malik Hooker**, S, Ohio State Height: 6-2. Weight: 205. Projected 40 Time: 4.47. Projected Round (2017): Top-10 Pick. 2/11/17: WalterFootball.com was first to report that Hooker would be out 4-6 months after surgeries to repair a hernia and labrum injury. That could cause Hooker to slide some in the first round and maybe not be the first safety selected. https://walterfootball.com/draft2017S.php

"The height is the height. This is how God made me. My hands are this size. I can't really control that." He's listed at 6-3 and 215 pounds, and there's been speculation about, yes, his hands being too small. http://sportsday.dallasnews.com/college-sports/collegesports/2017/02/20/clemson-qb-deshaun-watson-dares-nfl-teams-doubt-size-god-made Report that Trubisky is too short , now this. Combine will tell the tale of the tape.

Shady has a cap hit of $8.875M in 2017 and dead money of $7.875M , would not make sense to trade him to me, http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/lesean-mccoy-5916/

Reggie is a MLB , run stuffer, Preston Brown is also and still on rookie contract. Give Reggie enough time to recover from knee injury then decide if Preston needs to be traded before deadline or not.

great answer

I guess we would have to settle for a good draft pick in 2018 then. Time to gamble jmo

Steelers view Landry Jones as elite backup Feb 15 - 8:57 PM http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/7446/landry-jones We know what Taylor can do , I would gamble on Landry to start here until Cardale or another drafted QB can out play him. Then we at least would have Landry as a good backup. Money saved by letting Taylor go , try for Rick Wagner at RT

I would rather draft a CB . This looks like a good year for that position. Taller and cheaper jmo

Chad is over confident and wound tight like his uncle. Jim would not come to Buffalo unless he was a day 1 starter.

I think Zach would be better , depends on there price. AJ is 2 years younger McD would know his potential

Interesting take http://podbay.fm/show/1109282822/e/1487794271?autostart=1

If the QB the Bills want at #10 is gone , trade down for a needed extra pick .

My guess is McD plays it safe and stays with Taylor as a bridge , hopefully with a different incentive contract. I would rather let Taylor go to save cap and try to sign Rick Wagner at RT , keep Groy , Z Brown Rick Wagner 'rebuffed' Ravens contract offer Feb 13 - 5:02 PM http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/8575/rick-wagner There was a Wednesday report that the Steelers view Landry Jones as one of the NFL's top backups, so re-signing him appears it will be a priority http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/7446/landry-jones or Hoyer for a cheaper bridge

Alex is a good bridge till the Bills find the real deal. jmo

Sweden: Riots erupt in Stockholm neighborhood http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/21/europe/sweden-stockholm-riots/index.html

Alex would be a great bridge , player trade or reasonable draft pick. KC would be taking a gamble with a fragile Romo , would need Foles as a backup.
