What makes you think the Bills want Gaither that badly? All there have been is rumors anyways. If Gaither is such a good left tackle, why did the Ravens draft Oher in the 1st round last year? Gaither is 6'9. In my opinion that is too tall to play any position on the Oline. Who says he is any better than Jamon Merideth anyways? Way too much panic on this message board when anyone is mentioned in a possible trade. Merideth played at an SEC school and was highly thought of before the draft. He may actually have some talent and was not horrible last year. I think he is much better than Demetrius Bell who has absolutely no business whatsoever playing NFL football. (I believe our coaching staff will figure that out in the next few months) If the Bills really want to trade for an OT. They would do much better going after Jamal Brown from New Orleans. Seriously, how many people on this board new much about Gaither before the trade rumors started to fly?

Why would Fitzie be released before TE? Fitzie does not suck. And with some real coaching the guy might actually lead us to some victories. At least he is a leader and plays to win. That is something Edwards has not shown since he was a rookie.

That is pathetic comparing Jimbo to Ben. First of all, Jimbo was NEVER accused of forcing himself on anyone, other than maybe Harbaugh in their fight after he was retired. Second of all, Jimbo was never a knucklehead, scumbag, retard like Big Ben is. Ben looks like a dumbass dufuss dolt. The guy is not cool in the slightest. Being over 40, maybe I am thinking of what cool dudes were like at Big Ben's age back in the 80's, but this guy is a big goon, who probably has absolutely no talent of hooking up with women unless he gets than wasted. And than gets his bodyguards to pull them into his bathroom for him. I think Jimbo was a completely different animal who would have never let a goober like Big Ben within miles of his parties. If you don't agree than you didn't grow up in the world that I did 20-25 years ago.

Does Torry Holt even play anymore? He has nothing left in the tank. You think if he could play that the Jaguars would not have tried to keep him? I have read your posts for a long time and you are one of the most NEGATIVE posters about the Bills on this message board. I have never heard you say anything positive about the team. And as for Jason Taylor, the guy is 35 and will most likely play 20 plays until he gets injured again. I would rather have Schobel at this point in both their careers.

The Saints are tools to the media and the fans? Who cares, they won a Super Bowl for those same fans. That is all that should matter. The media always seem to feel that they run everything. Bill Parcells and Mike Ditka were ready to beat up any reporter who questioned any of their decisions. And I thought that was pretty hilarious. The media plays WAY to big a role in sports today. Good for the Saints to put them in their place.

That is saying absolutely NOTHING NewEra. I went to the Bills-Redskins game in DC late in the 2007 season. Campbell was terrible. He was tentative and slow both in foot speed and decision making. If he was so good, why would the Redskins give up two relatively high draft picks to get McNabb who is NOT anywhere close to great anymore? I would much rather take a chance on Bulger. We would not have to give anything up, and while the guy has been beat up the past few years, he is a pure passer who with a little bit of time can really throw the ball around. A junior Kurt Warner in my estimation. Sign Bulger and draft at least 3 O lineman to team with Wood, Levitre and Green. Next year we can go after our QB of the future.

New Era I totally agree with you. This is a tough one for me. I am a huge Wolverines fan, and for the past two seasons Brandon Graham was our ENTIRE defense. He had very little around him, and still made many plays every single game. He is tough, competitive and very athletic. I think he is the whole package. That being said, our O line sucks bigtime. We need a major league LT if we want any chance of moving the football. It is as simple as that. If we can trade down and still get a starting LT in the second round, than I would definitely take Graham middle of the first round. But that is up to our front office to find a LT who can step up and play right away who everyone is not going crazy over as a first round pick. If we can somehow get Graham, bring in a LT who can play and get an extra pick in the process than this team is on its way. (hey a guy can dream, can't he?) My perfect scenario would be to trade down in first round 6-9 spots, take Graham mid round and than grab the best LT prospect and possibly Tebow in the second round. If Tebow is gone, than we take Pike or Lafeveur in a later round to compete for the starting QB job. It is quite the dilemma, because Graham will be a STUD in the pros.

There is no salary cap this year, so he doesn't cause us a money crunch. The guy is a decent player (not great, but decent) He will probably be in some kind of front seven rotation. I don't think we are going to have 4 DE's and 4 OLB's that are better than him. He is always good for at least a couple of strong plays per game. That being said, if we could get at least a 3rd round pick for him, I think we should trade him.

Dude, have you not watched the NFL the past 2 seasons??? Jake Dellomme SUCKS!! You lose all credibility when you make statements like this!!

You are a RETARD. The guy has the best hands of any safety in the league. I don't believe he dropped one ball that was anywhere near him. He caught several that were inches from the ground. He is definitely not slow. But you very well maybe with posts such as this.

I agree with you. Fitz is a gamer. Edwards is not. And we know nothing about Brohm. With a revamped O line (that means having TWO OT that belong in the NFL, and a gameplan that belongs in the NFL, I think Fitzie can be reasonably successful. While his accuracy is pretty poor, the guy is not afraid and will do what it takes to win. Watch the 4th quarter of the Dolphins home game last year. He played well. Jauron and Van Pelt had no idea how to run an offense. With some real coaching Fitzie has some potential. Besides who else are we bringing in? We have to draft a LT with our first pick. Maybe a QB later rounds? But I don't think that will be out Fitzie.

Great post. We as a team have earned the reputation of not having any credibility. All these great young players that Nix is supposedly going to draft will need some very established solid veterans to show them the way. I would be quite happy if we can bring in a good receiver and two more front seven veterans on defense thru free agency. That would give us two solid vets on each side of the ball from free agency for those of you who can't count above one. (Yes I think Cornell Green will be solid-I believe Oakland played with much more heart than we did last year-just watch a replay of their wins at Pittsburg and Denver) These veterans will be the mortar that will hold the foundation of the team together. And who is going to be our QB? I think it is very important than this new regime give the fans some idea of what they are planning on doing. It is called accountability, and I believe they owe that much to us given how bad the Bills have been for so long.

You post more than most people text. And for the amount you post, you say very little. We still need two tackles, depth on the interior of the OL, help at WR, TE, and at least 4 more guys who are good in our front seven, and a QB. And you think we are going to draft all those players. What you say makes no sense. There are plenty of solid veterans who are available this year in free agency. And by just signing one O lineman so far, we are making a HUGE mistake. Sure we need to draft some solid players, but we need to improve right away. What is wrong with bringing in "name" players? Every other team in the league tries to do that. "Name" players are usually pretty darn good. And that is the problem with our team. We don't have a lot of GOOD players. Our talent across the roster is probably bottom 5 in the league. You think just drafting is going to make us competitive? Keep dreaming. This was a horrible 6-10 team last year that played like a 3 win team most of the time. Tell me what have we done to get better other than bringing in Cornell Green. When you bring a free agent in for a visit, it should ONLY be with the intention of signing him. Otherwise don't waste your time. The only way we can sign anyone is to overpay, because why would most players want to play for a team that has been as bad as we have for so long? And we don't seem to even want to pay market value for anyone. I am as big a fan as anyone on this board. But I am quite disappointed by the inactivity shown by our front office again. Has anyone looked at our receivers at this moment? Evans, Johnson, Parrish and Hardy. Enough said. Our TE's? Nelson, Schouman, Stupar and Klopfenstein. Our QB's? ARGHHH!!!

Why is he not the answer? The guy is big, can move reasonably for a man his size, and has a bad attitude. He certainly IS part of the answer.

BillsVet I do not always agree with your negative tone. But I completely agree with you saying that the lack of any sense of urgency is alarming. How do we plan on getting better? This is a team that has consistently been one of the NFL's worst for the past decade. I have heard nothing from anyone at OneBillsDrive about any plan whatsoever to move this team forward. Is there a plan? If there is, I would sure like to know from someone in charge. Give us some idea of what kind of team we are trying to put together. I am not sure anyone in the front office or coaching staff even knows.

I totally agree. You win with a mixture of guys picked up in free agency and thru the draft. We have holes at TE, OL, WR, DL, LB and QB. I would say that is a good two thirds of the team. Sure we can draft some guys. But are we going to have the majority of our starters as first and second year players? That does NOT win in the NFL. We need some veterans to show how to win. If we can't sign some mid level veterans to bring a sense of stability, and show the young guys how to win, what is Nix even here for? I would have thought we would have guys lined up and down One Bills Drive ready to discuss contracts. To do nothing is pathetic, and will just make me more angry as a fan. The stench of last season, (the whole decade for that matter) and particularly the loss to the Falcons (game I was at) will not go away until some MAJOR changes in personell are made. The less that is done, the more it looks like Nix is another Ralph puppet with no intentions on changing anything. Time will tell though. I hope I am wrong.

And that is news that we are going to get an OT. We had the worst in the league last year. So you are going out on a limb by saying the obvious? Go back in your cave, and try and think of something a little more original dude!!

And you don't think that the system is PEYTON MANNING? Lee Evans and anyone else we have would thrive with Peyton as well.

Wow, that is a stupid post. The Colts have Peyton Manning. They don't have to bring in a bunch of free agents when they have one of the top 5 QB's of all time. When our team has been just putrid for the past decade you do whatever it takes to get better in a hurry. Free agents, drafting better, trades, CFL, it doesn't matter. You have to clean house and start fresh. And if that includes vets over 30 so be it.

Washington is a lot bigger than Josh Reed, and he is more athletic. He can definitely help our offense.

What on earth did Incognito do that everyone is so excited about? He is an average player at best. Just because we did not tender him doesn't mean we can't resign him. Do you think he is the second coming of John Hannah? I sure don't.

At least he is a lot bigger than Maybin. I would be happy if we just bring in D lineman that all weigh over 300 pounds.

Bills Sabres Michigan Wolverines Football. Go Blue baby. Those are the only three I need. Can't stand baseball and basketball I do love my son's middle school football team. Walton Jr. Raiders from East Cobb, Georgia. Won the N. Ga. Championship this past year at 12-0, and noone came within 2 touchdowns of them in a 31 team league. And I don't expect them to lose in his next two seasons. Nice to watch a well coached winning team at least once a weekend!!

I agree. Just because he did not suck, certainly doesn't mean he was very good. I always thought he was average at best, certainly not dominant. We need to sign a RT in free agency and draft at least one if not more LT's.

Dude we need linebackers as much as any position on the team. If McClain is there at number 9, he is as good a choice as any. The guy can play football and he came from a winning program. Besides we have free agency to pick up several players at several positions of need. I would not be suprised if we sign players at two of the positions at least that you mention in free agency. We need to sign at least 4 or 5 solid contributors in free agency to get this program turned in the right direction. That will allow us to target specific needs in the draft. I think Nix and Gailey will get it turned around.
