    i look at it like we really only lost nate clements.we knew we could not afford nate.this is why marv had the forsight to draft a cornerback last draft(ashton youtboy).before the off season started marv also said they preferred a attacking linebacker.they said london fletcher did not fit this role.sounds to me like the bills are clearly going to draft a line backer.signing three offensive lineman on the first day of free agency showed me that marv was serious about building our line.he did say that was a priorty right after the season finished.so it shows marv is a man of his word.marv then goes out and rids the bills of that jackass willis and gets three draft picks for him.that was genious.yes it did create a new hole on the team.i feel they saw enough of willis last season to know his full potential would never be realized in buffalo.marv was shrewd and moved on.besides nate and london this team has signed almost every one of our own free agents.this has not been accomplished in a long time.it shows us that the players like being on the bills.this is a team on the rise and it is being rebuilt properly.go marv and go bills in"07

    thank you. this ones on me :thumbsup:

    the raiders in recent weeks have added a running back and a fullback.. joey porter is not currently disgruntled because of a sit down with little AL.. its seems that they ve postioned themseves to fix the offense,,, IMO the raiders are setting up to pick JOE THOMAS ,, they announced last week robert gallery is moving to RT his college position.. we willl see

     

     

    interesting. either way im not sold that they are going to risk picking a QB with the 1st pick in the draft.

     

    Michael Smith (for whatever that is worth) talked about them trading their 2nd and 4th for Matt Schaub. But i dont think Atl is looking to move him.

     

    for a 33th pick (which is like a late first rounder) and a 4th hell ill trade my backup qb

    The Willis trade made it all clear

    This is my first post and I am real excited to be conversing with fellow Bills fans. I was going to start out low key,but after hearing the rant about Rosenhaus I am jumping right in full bore. To blame Drew R. for the Willis situation is just ridiculous. It is an agents job to get the best deal possible for each and every one of his clients. This is a business plain and simple. Rosenhaus did not manipulate the trade of Willis. If the Bills had wanted to keep Willis they would have given him a substantial contract extension.

     

    But the truth of the matter is that Willis just didn't get the job done. Take out the two games against the Jets and Willis ran for approximately 720 yards in the 11 other games he played the majority of snaps in. (he was injured early against Green Bay, and missed the Indy and Houston games) That comes out to about 65 yards per game. Not exactly game changing numbers. The man epitomizes mediocrity. And you had better believe regardless of who Willis' agent is, the Bills are not going to give a big contract to a mediocre player who just doesn't care. We are much better off without him, and now we have three extra draft picks to boot. Marv was very shrewd in trading a player they really did not want for very good value.

     

    Rosenhaus had nothing to do with that. In fact, I think the Bills would have no problem dealing with Drew if they wanted to sign any of his other players. I don't sense any animosity between Rosenhaus and the Bills. If anything you have to give Drew credit for getting the Ravens to pay out such a contract to a very overrated player who has no heart.

    For someone making their first post, that was a really good point. Welcome to the board
