There's a big difference between not starting and not being on the roster. Since he's already under contract and we'd only only save about 30% of his cap hit by cutting him (and we're not cap-constrained). Why wouldn't we want to keep him as a backup? At this point, I don't see any indication that Duke is more prepared to step in at LG.
Per Clumping Platelet's Cap Page:
Salary
$1.5 Mil
Cap Hit
$2.0 Mil
Est Savings (if cut)
$0.68 Mil
How many guards is this squad gonna carry?
Bennie
Preston
Geisenger
Reyes
Villarial

When it's close in terms of ability, you go with the younger guy - meaning Preston over Bennie, obviously. I guess it's possible that Geisenger will be cut, they don't draft or sign any other guards, and they're left with Reyes, Villarial, Preston and Bennie - but I don't see it.

I am sorry, but I didn't see that press conference , where they said Anderson was worse. In fact what I heard was Reyes said he was not the starter but would have a chance to try to become one, and that the Bills would like him to compete for the LG position.
Usually when a "big" FA is signed they are pretty much told it is their job. The Bills depth chart and everything being said, means Reyes is a backup.
Oh and just to add on, the rumor is they really want him to push for RT and be the starter there. What's that tell you about Peters?
It tells me they want Peters to transition to LT.
I will bet you $5 Bennie is cut, how's that?
-
I think it's important to keep something in mind here:
THIS COACHING STAFF THINKS REYES IS BETTER THAN BENNIE
If it didn't, they wouldn't have signed him.
That doesn't mean they won't draft a guard or two - I expect that they will. All it means is Bennie is gone, and, assuming the Bills' coaches and personnel department are better at evaluating talent than this Board, they've upgraded their line.
-
I think this allows them to draft a CB in the first or second round, which I have a hunch they will do.

PFT says Houston signed Bush. They've been more right than wrong lately...

Lemme add one more surprise name to the list of possible trade-down selections:
Santonio Holmes.
-
I would not be shocked if the Bills trade down - but I don't think they'll pick a DT if they do. I continue to be convinced that they will surprise us by taking one of the following:
1) Ernie Sims (fits the Derrick Brooks mold for the cover-2 defense)
2) Jay Cutler (dunno why, just a deep-seated fear that Marv will pull the trigger if he's there and take him)
3) Jimmy Williams (supposed to be one of the best pure athletes in the draft - Deion Sanders-type ability - also one of the biggest a-holes in the entire draft class)
-
There is no way the Raiders pass on Hawk.

I think that is a great idea, and not out of the realm of possibilities. Rumors have the Ravens very interested in Ngata, especially after Ray Lewis' whinning on ESPN about not having big DTs in front of him.
If Ngata is available at 8, we should shop the pick to the Ravens for their 2nd, or most likely, 3rd.
Sure. Why don't we keep trading down until we own all of the picks in the seventh round? 32 (more?) "instant camp-fodder" players.

I used Roxio's free Easy CD Creator the other day to do just what you want. Try downloading the free software and giving it a shot.

5 goals on 10 shots in the first period. THE BUFFALO MAGIC IS BACK.

I don't know why. I'm a big Marv fan, as I've said, I think getting rid of Donahoe - his ego, his decision-making, and his abrasive management style - has to be a net gain for the organization.
That said, I'm all of a sudden freaking out about draft weekend. For no good reason that I can pinpoint, I'm now convinced that the Bills are going to do something stupid and unexpected on Saturday, like trading down a few picks and then taking Cutler. I dunno why, I just get this eerie feeling that, come Monday, the Bills will be the absolute laughingstock of the League for a piss-poor draft performance. Again, I have NO GOOD REASON, NOR ANY GOOD SENSE. I know I need to shake this feeling, but I can't. Anyone else having similar premonitions? If not, care to talk me off the ledge?

Fits with what we know about TD's and Marv's management styles. TD was rumored to be secretive, manipulative, micromanaging, and intimidating. Marv is thought to be more open, honest, and collaborative. As I've said before, hopefully this is addition by subtraction - the effect on morale and performance of removing someone like Donahoe from the organization should not be underestimated.
-
He tackles like Troy Vincent. Don't like him (I'm serious).
-
Clayton = Tweetie Bird
-
Willis also is in the last year of his deal, is he not?
-
Good point about Ngata not playing every down. That is huge IMO - Bunkley is an every-down player, making him more valuable IMO.
-
TD ran himself out of town with his horribe decision-making and abrasive, stifling management style. I can't believe ANYONE still disputes this (I doubt even Donahoe disputes it now). Mort's revisionism on that point discredits everything else he reports.
-
Inaccuracy is due 100% to mechanics. It's possible JP is experimenting with different footwork, throwing motion, etc., at Fairchild's directives. It's also possible that JP's mechanics simply aren't good. In any event, my point is that poor accuracy is correctable.
Do you have paypal cause I want in on this one too.
Bills sign OG Tutan Reyes

The thought of Bennie Anderson playing right tackle is HORRIFYING.
