Time to lock in on long terms with Evans. Let's get 'er done...
Yep.
-
Does that mean 10 Mil. (?) is for the rookies so we have almost $12 mill left for FA's?
or 10 Mil (?) for rooks and over $30 in cash to cap?
Is 10 Mil even close to the rookie pool? too high/low?
Anyway we slice it we've got cash to spend.
There was never a question of having money to spend. It is finding quality players to spend it on.

Would you have rather I started a Bryant Johnson thread?
Or a JP vs Edwards thread?
Anything would be better than this one. Just because you are bored does not mean you do something like this. Find something better to do.

Nice - Thanks

I agree, they're serviceable. But they pose no real threat and opposing SS's just walk right up into the box.
I retract 'losing hope'. I hope we draft a phenom.
I don't want to join in and blast you, but do you really think Franks poses a threat? He has done nothing for years now.
-
I hadn't read that yet. That's a good read and makes sense. But almost makes me feel better cause I don't want another McGahee proclaiming himself worthy of things he's never proven. I think he made a big mistake though choosing San Fran as the place to show what he's made of for one year. I'd be curious to know what money Buffalo offered. If it was 4-5 million a year and he still balked, then he's a fricked idiot.
These guys always think they are worth more than they actually are. He is taking a big risk.

I know it's easy for fans to look at size and speed, and then assume that people will bolster our team's effectiveness. I admit, I was really hoping that we would have gotten Bryant Johnson just cause of when he was drafted, his size, and the fact that he pry never got a chance to shine in Arizona behind the big 2. However, as Johnson signed, and now Hacket, I really think that these guys would have been huge disappointments.
Johnson signed only a one year deal for 2 million and Hackett signed a two year deal for only 3.5 million. This is total chump change. We know that the front office has pegged WR as a need, they have told us as much. No matter who we take in the draft, we will pay them more that those two got. So, I think we have to assume that there was just something wrong with these guys. And hey, if you don't have faith in that, then why didn't any of the other 30 teams jump all over these guys? I mean, from a outside standpoint, you would look at these guys and they would scream solid number 2 at you. How many teams really have that?
Maybe this will all blow up in our face, but I truly believe that there are reasons behind this and it will all work out in the end
Johnson was offered a multi-year deal by the Bills and turned it down.

In the final analysis of both the McGahee and Spikes trades combined, we won big.
We ended up with Poz, Edwards, Stroud and 2 extra 7th round picks, and kept our draft intact(we draft in each round) both last year and this year(something the Skins should learn from us). In return we gave up Spikes, McGahee and Holcomb. If that's not a heist, I don't know what is. Never mind the fact we have gotten better players while paying them less.
Thanks Marv for setting it up, thanks Brandon and Co. for knocking it down.
Would be nice to send this post to Palantonio at ESPN and see what he says now?
-
this money we have under the cap, we just refuse to pay anybody anything on offensive side of the ball?
Whom would you have liked us to pay? I recall we paid a lot of money last year.
-
Fixing the line helps the secondary. Stroud by himself doesn't fix the line
Stroud and McCargo are a big upgrade from Triplett and Williams.
-
How can someone be a steal BEFORE the draft?
-
Don't think that because these guys are on TV that they know more than we do.

I Want him perfect backup, a great leader thoughts?
Do you want everyone that is cut as a back up for us? You're killing me!!
-
can he be better than Freddy Jackson?
He suffered another serious injury at the end of last year. I doubt he plays this year.
-
Dammit Marv, don't do it. He's practically shouting to the world that he's willing to give up a 1 & 3 to get Turner. I think this is a big mistake by Marv.
Marv does not have to offer a 1st and a 3rd. If he is willing to give up that much he can just sign Turner to an offer sheet. Turner's compensation as a RFA is a 1st and 3rd. Pay attention.
-
I'll be honest, the re-signing of Tim Anderson really surprised me. Is this indicative of the coach's lack of confidence in McCargo's future development?
This team has many bodies at defensive tackle right now, none of which are considered "run stoppers".
Odd move in my opinion.
He was a RFA. He was tendered an offer to cover the Bills . He can still be cut at no cost.
-
Do you think the schedule for the new season will determine who and how we draft players?
What do you mean? How does a schedule determine what kind of team you are?
-
I agree with everyone that it's just a severe bout of paranoia. That said, I did find it a little curious that Mort actually speculated on the air that Ralph's motives might be to look to sell the team. I'm not sure why, but I find that just a little more than idle speculation. Those are the kind of purposeful rumors that can spread.
Why would he sell the team now? He's almost 90. He would have sold a long time ago if he had wanted to.
-
Turner was a 5th round draft pick in his draft year. Good backfield talent can be found in the middle rounds of the draft. Do we really want to part with a 1st and 3rd to get Turner?
We are not going to part with 1st and a 3rd. If we were we would just sign him to an offer sheet and SD would not match. There would be no need for trade talk. He is a RFA.

Great Blue North has updated their 3 round mock draft and so I decided to map out three possible draft scenarios for the Bills. I only picked players that were available when the Bills turn came. The third scenario is the Bills swaping first round picks with Denver (who after missing out on Patrick Kearney would possibly love to be able to draft Adam Carriker) with the Bills also getting Denver's second round pick. It's only a scenario, pure speculation on my part. BTW, Peterson was off the board.
1st scenario:
1st Patrick Willis MLB
2nd Brian Leonard FB
3rd Antonio Pittman RB
3rd Anthony Waters OLB
2nd scenario:
1st Marshawn Lynch RB
2nd Josh Wilson CB
3rd Justin Durant MLB
3rd Anthony Waters OLB
3rd scenario:
1st Paul Posluszny OLB
2nd Brian Leonard FB
2nd Tanard Jackson CB
3rd Justin Durant MLB
3rd Brandon Jackson RB
Though I really like Lynch, the other two scenarios would also work for me. But then again, I was the one picking them.
I like the 1st one except there is no way we draft a FB in the 2nd round.

My Turner Trade- Bills get Turner and the Chargers 2007 5th - the Bills give up Anthony Thomas 2007 3rd, 2008 2nd and 3rd
Why so much?
-
Allowing Nate to avoid the franchise tag was a pretty dumb move and shows how inexperienced Marv is as a GM...
I too am worried that AJ Smith will take advantage of Marv's lack of experience as a front office executive.
Are you really serious?
-
I think the flight thing yesterday was a ruse. I found this online. I can't believe Marv would even consider this guy. He is too slow, too old, and really has character issues.
How do you know he is slow? There is no info on his 40 time!
-
If we gave up the #12 pick, I would have trouble watching the Bills next season.. It will just urk me to no end. I know the possibility is slim, but the thought makes my stomach turn.
Then don't think about it. No way we give up #12 overall for Turner. Will not happen!
Had we not taken Thurman
