[Free Agency News and Updates - around the league]

I don’t know your opinion about it, but I think that with this last season who was a success, the Bills are now « more » attractive and a better option for the free agent.

I think that we could be able to sign « a big name » if we want to.

 

1) We went to the playoffs last year, and we definitely want to improve.

2) We have a young QB that is respected by a lot of peoples apparently from what I read, and he’s definitely a hard working guy.

3) The defense is « elite » imo so the good defensive free agents are gonna be like « sounds interesting to join this great D »

4) We have one of the best fan base in the NFL.

5) McDermott is a great coach imo

Thanks Smitty.  Yes, been to Strasbourg twice. Once in 1998 by myself. Then in 2010 with my Alsacian family. In the floor of the Cathedral there, is a stone block that

comemorates the soldiers from the US that come over in 1916, before the US formally got in the war (WWI) to help with the allied effort. I didn't know about it. My

French cousin, Valentin pointed it out to me when we were there. He already knew about that stone. Brought tears to my eyes!

    Also while over there in 2010, some more of my French cousins took my wife (who did all the geneology work in finding my French cousins) and I out to a real nice

restaurant several miles outside of Bernwiller, where they are from. We passed through a village that had a large mural painted on the side of a building showing the

American troops during WWII being transported in trucks with the US flag flying on the truck going through that town!  All of this I videoed on my camcorder. Couldn't

believe it, that after all of these years,  they had that mural up, expressing their gratitude for our effort over there. What a great statement about the French people!

 

Hope I didn't bore you with all this history. Just trying to say how awesome the French people are.  Concerning the Bills, I've been a fan for a very long time.

 

Haha no worries, it’s always interesting to share some story with different peoples.

The WWII has a rich history !

I’m glad to know that you like France and our culture here.

Smitty, I have family in Alsace. Their daughter lives/works in Paris.  Good people, my wife & I have visited them a couple of times. Ever go to that wine festival they have

in August in Chateau neauf du Pape? It's really a party!      Welcome to the Bills! Greatest fans in the NFL.

Awesome ! Alsace is a really nice region, «Strasbourg» is a city that you should visit there, if it’s not already done  I never been to this festival because I’m not a wine guy ahah.

 

Thanks for the Welcoming ? #GoBills!

Smitty  doesnt sound very French

 

 

Ahaha you right, to explain to you guys my pseudo my favorite player used to be Steve Smith.

He’s the first player that i really enjoyed watching when he was playing with Carolina, so as a fan of the player, I decided to choose his surname.

He will. Fortunately there are approx 497 other WRs in this draft who could immediately contribute to the Bills offense. 

I hope you right  i don’t follow College Football except him who would fit the offense ? 

It’s definitely a draft full of talented WR’s, we clearly can find our happiness !

Oh *****, Henry Ruggs looked really fast with his 40yards time (4.28 is reaaaally fast !) Unlucky i think he’ll be gone before our pick. ?

My mom was from the Paris area - the suburb of Drancy to be precise.  She met my dad at the conclusion of WWII and moved to Buffalo.  And while she adopted a lot of local customs, I could never convince her to become a Bills fan.  She thought American football was barbaric and only grudgingly let me play.  

The Bills Mafia is a great reason to be a fan!

Awesome story man !

Yes, i know this surburb as a Parisian citizen myself. ?

I don’t know how it is in the others countries in Europe, but in France most of the older generation think the same about this sport ahah.

 

Go Bills ??

[Did anyone become a Bills fan later on in life or convert from another team?]

New fan here, i’m from France so It’s complicated to find a attachement with a specific team.

I started following the NFL in 2011, i watched a ton of different teams but i never found the one who made me want to stick with them.

I’m a Raptors fan in the NBA, the fact that the Bills is the most popular team in Toronto, the Bills Mafia, and the snow bowl are the 3 reasons who made me decided to be a fan. ?

NFL total access had Shenault ranked number 5 receiver in the class and said he makes big boy catches which i think Josh needs to get his completions up. Also read that his player comp was Saquan Barkley, sign me up for that in the open field !!

 

 

 

never trade up unless its a QB or the player is a super freak.

 

 

I agree with your opinion, but if there was a guy like Julio Jones you would be okay to trade up i guess, none of the receivers of this draft could end up being at his level ? (I don’t follow College Football)

[Chris Brown article on How draft prospect WR see the Bills]

It’s good to see that these young guys can see the potential on this team, specially Higgins i like what he said

 

I don’t know about you guys, but i have mix feelings about the draft one part of me wants us to trade up and get a top receiver like Jeudy or Ceedee Lamb the other part tell me that the others guys could succeed very well also in the league and you don’t have to give up anything...!
