I could definitely see this happening. Save the 1st rounder for a blue/red chipper and trade a 2nd for a RB who would easily be better than any 2nd round RB in the draft, and who could be a stud in his own right. But there are no guarantees.

Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!

It's a shame he didn't "standout" during the 2005 season (or the 1st half of this past season, but I digress). Otherwise they could have traded him for a 1st round pick last year.

Is he related to Olof Pilar?

I'd favor going Willis, then a CB (2nd round pick or after a trade-up into the 1st depending on if there's a run, sorry Bill in NYC ) and then a RB. Then a TE.

Sure.

Hugh Hefner.

That depends on whether the Bills can replace Clements and a less-than-100% Spikes. I'm saying right here and right now that the O-line and D-line will be better and that they'll draft a RB who, in-tandem with A-Train and/or Fred Jackson, won't be any worse than Willis and A-Train. I'm sure Kirwan will be just as surprised at how few of those veterans he sees THIS year in Buffalo.

I read that he started the company and then sold it, and they kept him on as VP.

I'm sure he'll pass their physical. Hell, I could pass their physical, I'd just be less than ideal on their defense.

...and finding out the champagne has turned to vinegar. Sorry but unless someone has a crystal ball that shows me Spikes regaining his pre-injury form, I'll have to conclude that he won't, based on the overwhelming evidence with players who were YOUNGER when it happened to them.

FWIW, Cole had the Dolphins as a SB contender last year after making the moves they did. IOW, the so-called "experts" are no better than any of us when making predictions.

Adalius Thomas is overpaid as well. Hell most FA's this off-season were overpaid. That's just the nature of the beast post-new CBA.

First of all, the Bills could have easily retained all of those players, at the expense of signing no one else. That would have been incredibly dumb. McGahee was a goner and a waste of space. Fletcher didn't fit the scheme. Spikes couldn't be counted-on to return to his pre-injury form. and Holcomb would have been 3rd string next year. As for Clements, it would have been nice to keep him. But for $80M, I shudder at the thought of him having a year like 2005, or the first half of 2006. Again the Bills could have easily outbid other teams for him, but decided to let him go.

Huh?

I like Tanya's Memmes.

I'll take trading a 30-year old LB who is coming-off an Achilles injury and a backup QB for a starting DT anyday! The draft pick in 2008, especially if it's a 3rd rounder, is icing on the cake!

I'll take Walker and a 4th.

With the owners agreeing on a new additional revenue sharing plan, I think the "cash to cap" might become defunct.

I don't. Assuming that the rookie RB learns the playbook.

Geez, you've got a bigger hard-on for Pats posts than HD.

Good numbers...but against lesser competition. How he fares in the pros is wholly unknown. Can't really say much more.

Nope. Just big markets sharing some of the money they've made off of new stadiums, funded partially by league/G3 money.

I've been hearing Brian Leonard with their 2nd 1st rounder.

They'll just use a dartboard.
