Mario left Houston without a trade. Maybe they were ok with a comp pick for him ?

The top safeties in the next draft http://walterfootbal.../draft2014S.php Top Free Agents so far http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000329702/article/top-101-nfl-free-agents-for-2014

Other teams must think a good safety is available in the 3rd of draft for a fraction of Byrd's salary.

This is why you extend a good player while he has a year left on a regular contract. If he won't re sign, easier to make a trade.

"What makes tagging him somewhat hard to do is the fact that he would essentially be a one-year rental for whoever deals for the safety" http://www.wgr550.com/Source--Bills-made--substantial--offer-to-Byrd/184974 It won't be a 1 year rental if a team can make him a long term deal before July 15

If they can't get a trade, just tag him, something could happen by July 15 deadline. If he signs his tag and reports to training camp ready to play, just keep him at least another season for $8.3m.

So that means EJ was the right choice, that's a relief

Unless Hopkins can prove he's better , keep Carpenter. Special teams need to do better on kickoff coverage though.

Bill Polian 84-93 , drafting, wheeling and dealing. It's never been near as good since.

Clowney is from S.C. and said he wants the Falcons to trade up and draft him

He'll have a better attitude and motivation if he plays for Atlanta .

Delmas was released Feb 13 , Schwartz must not want him for some reason ?

That will make it a even greater day for Andre to have the Bills and fans there for him. 5 preseason games to get EJ and receivers on the same page

Brian Orakpo a FA OLB at 27 a 3X Pro Bowl but would be expensive. http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/118410/survey-says-keep-brian-orakpo-sort-of

If he's there at 9 , oh yeah. I think someone will make the Bills a trade down offer they can't refuse. Very good players will be there at 9 this year.

Good question for John Murphy

A. Williams makes $1.67m 2014/15 then UFA. The Bills should extend him now, not wait till the last minute. If a good player won't sign, trade under contract. The Bills have been burned enough times by walk aways.

Clowney " He has openly lobbied for Atlanta to trade up for him." http://www.stltoday....b9c16fad25.html Seems like Atlanta will go for it this year, like they went for Julio Jones. Could Byrd be on their radar also?

I would take Connor Shaw QB later round. Then Tuel to P.S.

Made my day , thanks

I didn't know that Jim Overdorf negotiates player contracts and reports to Brandon , not Whaley, according to todays Buffalo News article. I thought the GM did that. I learn something new everyday. http://bills.buffalo...s-organization/ A older forum post worth noting http://boards.buffal...thout-criticism

Dareus will be UFA after this next season, extend his contract now before it expires. If you can't reach a deal you trade, not go thru a 3 ring circus like Byrd, or walk away for nothing like Levitre.

I still think Graham would be a better CB then WR at this point.
