I would mark Gilmore as a must re-sign.

Percy would have to be lights out in TC and preseason to even consider.

Going from the 4-3 with Schwartz and Donnie Henderson to the 3-4 with Rob and Thurman is a crazy gamble that will take too much time imo plays coming in late with substitutions is not good against a hurry up offense Need a RT if Jordan Mills is not considered solid by Kromer.

"As part of Tuesday's compromise, the NFL promised the Chargers and the Raiders each $100 million for new stadiums if they stay in San Diego and Oakland, respectively. " http://ktla.com/2016/01/13/los-angeles-rams-likely-to-begin-playing-at-coliseum/ Stay put, no $550M relocation fee , sounds like the best option to me.

It looks like Thurman had better experience as a DB coach then a DC , so he should be ok there. If Thurman was the one sending in defense plays late , then that should improve . Hate to lose Henderson, but this is Rex's staff

I don't think the Raiders would have to pay the $550 M relocation fee if they shared the 49er stadium. That would make more sense to me.

Some players don't do well after a ACL , thinking Kiko, Kujo maybe RG3

Good article on Rex and Rob in TBN http://bills.buffalonews.com/2015/06/20/the-wild-early-years-and-the-football-family-that-shaped-bills-coach-rex-ryan/

After that article, no way the Browns would hire Marrone. He did fair having Pettine then Schwartz as DCs. If Brown's players want a players coach, Lovie Smith would be a good choice.

If only Rex would have used the final game plan from the start of the season. All the injuries the Bills had and they knocked a team out of the playoffs. Good article

Dec 5 est $150-$153.4 M http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/12/05/nfl-salary-cap-will-rise-above-150-million-in-2016/

Thanks Brooklyn , now I understand the June 1

cut pre June 1 ( Mario) dead money $7M cap saving $12.9M cut post June 1 dead money $5.4 M cap saving $14.5M http://overthecap.co.../buffalo-bills/ not sure what date you believe is better to release Mario, thanks , never paid much attention to cap before

Mario is likely cut after June 1st http://overthecap.com/salary-cap/buffalo-bills/

LT is a critical position, Glenn has to be re-signed at least until they find a valid replacement like a drafted player.

As long as the Bills stay in WNY , whatever stadium the Pegulas want is fine with me.

I don't see how the Raiders/Davis can afford relocation fee $550M +split cost of new stadium in LA. If I remember, Raiders could not sign high priced FAs because they did not have the guaranteed money to put in escrow account ?

Survey what the players prefer. Would good players re-sign for less to play in good conditions? Would FAs be more willing to sign here with a indoor stadium. It could have natural grass if rolled out to a climate controlled structure with sun lamps.

So that's why Rex was serious. Now that's big news, thanks 26

I was glad to see Rex in a more serious mood. Hope he does learn from his mistakes.

The Browns have been so horrible at first-round picks lately (Taylor, Richardson, Weeden, Mingo, Gilbert, Manziel) that I hate to sentence Jared Goff or Paxton Lynch to a life on the Lake, but draw straws, gentlemen. Short one goes to the Browns. Tennessee has the first pick and could get a package of picks to move down with any number of QB-needy teams (San Francisco at seven, Chicago at 11, Philadelphia at 13, St. Louis at 15). http://mmqb.si.com/mmqb/2016/01/04/nfl-coaches-fired-wild-card-schedule-week-17-peyton-manning

Irsay / Grigson makes me really appreciate Pegulas / Whaley

Just getting everyone back healthy works for me. A full recovery by Easley might be a stretch http://www.rotoworld.com/recent/nfl/5843/marcus-easley

I want the Bills to give it there best shot. If they lose we get a better draft pick and motivation for next season. Fitz , Chan , even Bowles are a class act who I respect. May the best team today win.

Rex could spend several years trying to rebuild the defense to his type 3-4. Draft picks take time to develop. If it does not work especially against the hurry up offense, then the next coach rebuilds a 4-3 again. This is high risk starting over once again, it demoralizes the players and fans.
