Never let Levitre walk. If the price is too high , match his best offer then trade him for a 1st rd pick at least.

Fitz is worth $3 million a year , T Jax $1.5 million , not $15 million for both. Until they prove otherwise. Sign Levitre and Byrd and pick up FA's

Almost $15 million for fitz and jackson, I'am out

Go all out for a QB in 2014 unless we get A. Smith for a 2nd rd this year.

with Fitz, T Jax and a 2nd round rookie all fighting it out...... we will draft in the Top 5 next year..... this

Fitz has to restructure with good incentives or is cut. Thigpen should be cut, draft a qb 2nd or 3rd rd or try for A. Smith.

Interesting take by Gil Brandt. We should use Ron Jaworski to consult on avail QB's.

Fitz had the 3rd highest wonderlic score in history, 48. He just dosen't have the arm to get it there.http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1130834-nfl-draft-2012-the-5-best-and-the-5-worst-wonderlic-scores-in-nfl-history another good list of QB scores http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/football/nfl/03/24/wonderlic-test/index.html

As long as we don't use our 1 st round pick for him.

This article made be think better of Crossman http://www.buffalobi...6b-149b68c386b8 Bills special teams coach Danny Crossman made plays during his time as a player. In his pro career he had one of his best days in one of his biggest games with three interceptions in the inaugural World Bowl in 1991. He and Bills head coach Doug Marrone were teammates on the World League’s first championship team, the London Monarchs. Crossman was named the game’s MVP. Now Crossman is immersed in evaluating the talent he’ll have at his disposal with Buffalo’s special teams units and is looking for a few MVPs of his own.

FA starts afternoon March 12, this site rates Levitre and Byrd best avail at there positions http://www.rotoworld.com/articles/nfl/42077/309/nfl-free-agent-master-list-13

The bills need to hire Don Beebe as a coach . " In 1998, Beebe founded House of Speed, LLC,[4] a company that specializes in training athletes in the essentials of top performance, speed and character. House of Speed began franchise operations in 2006 and has locations in eleven states. Beebe also works with several professional, collegiate and amateur sports organizations in the area of speed, including the Chicago Bears, the St. Louis Rams, the University of Illinois Fighting Illini and Club Fusion Volleyball." While a bill he use to keep working to improve his speed. We would'nt want Stevie to get winded if we get a QB who could throw like the bad bomber Daryle Lamonica

Mario was a lot better after surgery, I would trade him for a 1st round pick or Alex Smith. We could draft a linemen for much less cost . The problem is what other team would take his massive contract?

Be nice if we could trade Fitz with a restructured contract to be SF backup. Other teams will bid up the offer for Smith.

Mario $16 million a year, we could only do it with a straight up trade. Revis also wants $16 mill, no room for excellent players rest of roster, creates player friction.

Lewis spoof on SNL http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1503674-ray-lewis-video-watch-ravens-star-spoofed-on-snl

He wants $16 million a year next contract, thats why the Jets are trying to trade him before he's a FA. That's too much when we are paying Mario a big salary. If we want a CB draft one for a lot less. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1500855-jets-owner-woody-johnson-reportedly-thinks-darrelle-revis-wont-stay-with-team

Take best available , but has to be 100% sure thing. When draft is over try to trade for a needed position.

Jets have the right idea to trade him before he becomes a FA." Despite the knee injury, he could seek more than $16 million per year " Sign Levitre and Byrd instead.

Excellent start to the analytics way , I like it.

Anderson Cooper 360 interviewed the girl in the picture . Now it makes more sense , she wants to know if Te'o was in on it http://www.allthingsandersoncooper.com/2013/01/anderson-cooper-360-wednesday-12313.html?showComment=1359004177549

If Fitz wants to stay in Buffalo he would have to restructure his contract way lower, with incentives if he starts and does well.

Lomas Brown ? with Tampa when they won that SB, said Gruden knew everything the raiders would do. That's why the desparate change in game plan
