With all of the UFA/RFA mess it's pretty much safe to say not many RFA's will be going anywhere. So out of the coming up UFA's I see these are the guys I hope we persue.

 

1. Richard Seymour - He played well for the Raiders at DT and would be an upgrade for us in the middle, or at DE if we happen to go to a 3-4 (seriously doubt). I think he would love to stick it to the Pats* twice a year.

 

2. Karlos Dansby - Dansby is a monster who has good instincts and loves to hit people as hard as he can. This would solve our SOLB problem. He could also probably play MLB if we wanted him too. I hope we throw the kitchen sink at this guy to try to get him here. He'd be the biggest FA signing we've had on defense since Spikes.

 

3. Kevin Walter - With Reed and Owens pretty much heading out the door at OBD he could easily start opposite Evans. He has good size, quickness, and knows how to get open. I think people forget about his size more than anything. The guy is 6'3" and 215lbs. The big WR compliment we need for Lee?

 

I think we could address the OL, DE, and QB with the draft or possible trades. I think our team as a whole, especially the run defense, would be vastly improved if we could land these guys and if we could not get Seymour I would like to see us go after Ryan Pickett.

I also would have Richard Seymour and Karlos Dansby on my dream list but would replace Kevin Walter with Ben Watson because I think Nelson could be a WR in the Vincent Jackson mode

I like Walter, but I would rather draft somebody like Graham Zug or Eric Decker for that "Wes Welker" role on the team. Seymour would be nice and could be had, but I have a hard time thinking Arizona will let Dansby walk. Getting Clancy Pendergast in here as our D.C. would certainly help our case in trying to get him. However, I think Shawne Merriman, if cut or able to look elsewhere, is the guy we go after. I completely base this on the fact that Nix drafted him and Maybin could be the 2nd coming of Merriman. I also think Derrick Johnson is another guy we go after to fill out the LB corps.

Biggest needs are - LT, QB, DL, and LB

 

There is very little talent at OT that is not restricted. I think we have to draft one.

 

Ditto at QB. Unless we want to try a journeyman while we develop a rookie.

 

With all the talk about 3-4, I would say we need to sign Wilfork. A 3-4 starts with the NT. Nothing like adding an impact player on the DL.

 

Dansby would be awesome at LB. We need more depth here too.

 

Your right about Walter at WR. We will lose Owens and Reed.

 

We could use a whole bunch of depth players that are lower tier but have some upside.

Orten LOL. We already have Trent Edwards LOL

You're smoking crack if you think Orton is just like Edwards. Orton wins games. He had 21 TD passes this season. That's more than Trent, Fitz, and Brohm combined. Trent couldn't carry Kyle's jock strap. Kyle would great in a Bills suit next year.

You misspelled his name despite it having been properly spelled for you. Good job.

And his team still sucked. NO TEAM game plans around stopping Orten. NONE. He's a wimpy, weak armed non-factor. LOL Orten ,,, still having a good laugh over that one.

 

In my opinion, Orton would be an excellent transitional quarterback in the same way (a healthy) Chad Pennington is. Orton is the consumate professional, a team guy all the way, and a pretty decent quarterback. He'd be the perfect guy to have on board while the team grooms their QB of the future.

 

Rather than disrespecting other people's opinions, what is your solution to the QB dilemma, wide_right?

I dont see why we'd want Orton either. Getting him in FA means over paying for one. And if he's not the long term answer, why bother? More and more teams are getting away from the notion of apprenticeship for a rookie QB (i.e. Sanchez, Flacco), and it seems to be working. Pennington is a special case because of the wildcat offense in Miami, where multiple players take over at QB throughout the game.

The only way I'd take Orton is if Brandon Marshall came with him. That dude catches anything near him. Pound for pound the best yards after the catch wr in the league.

 

 

Dansby Far and away tops the list of possible free agents I hope the Bills get. Wilfork a close 2nd

I can't imagine Wilfork getting away from NE. The thinking is Pats let Seymour go to make room to pay Wilfork. Also Dansby definitely over Merriman.

Oh I agree I was just sticking to the whole wishlist thing, but yeah odds of wilfork making it out of NE are pretty slim

It actually sucks that Orton threw only for 21TDs with arguably the best book end Tackles in the game.

then you obviously dont watch too many texans games eh? Andre Johnson is without a shadow of a doubt the single best YAC WR in football, and has been for three years now

 

but yes I concur aboot dansby

One of the two guys ive been asking for for awhile now. The raiders LB. Kirk Morrison and Thomas Howard. If they are thinking of switching to 3-4, those two guys plus wilfork begins the transition. If the stay with the 4-3, those two LB's replace Ellison and Mitchell and our D is instantly faster, stronger, and more agile.
