For argument sake lets say over 27 is on the back nine of an NFL career. Maybe you're good for a year or two, maybe you start getting hurt all the time from the wear an tear.
Anyway, who fits that on the Bills?
Incognito, Wood, McCoy, Clay, Glenn, Taylor, Kyle, Hughes, Lorax ...our better players
old role players?
Humber, Ducasse, Colt Anderson, Yates, Tate, Tolbert, Banyard, TJones, Holmes, Ryan Davis, Wright, DiMarco
Who are the young getting to prime guys? O'Leary, Mills, Groy, Yarborough, Hodges, Gaines, LJohnson, Philley
And of course the good players in their prime for at least a few more years. Marcell and who knows with him, Preston, Matthews, Poyer, Hyde,
Pretty mediocre group if you ask me!
And then the rookies or unprovens Tre White, Z Jones, Shaq
Lots of work to be done and moves like Eric Wood for leadership, culture and trading Sammy, releasing Reilly, Shorts. Trading Ragland and Seymour because they aren't our guys are hard to understand. The strategy is hard to explain.
I have been an optimist with the team for the last several years. Choosing to support the new regime and the hope of change and new success. Give them a chance. I am willing to eat some crow that I was wrong on this. I am going to need to see some logic and real success, before that I am skeptical of what I've seen so far. The Sammy move when we could have franchised him and the Wood extension really got me going in that direction. Releasing the younger impressive receivers to keep old role players clinched it for me. We don't value young talent as much culture, scheme, and our guys.
