DarthICE Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 get him signed russ!,, the start of a defense that will bring an attitude.. sign him NOW! Russ doesn't sign players anymore. So if Edwards says to NIX get it done then NIX should listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalScotts Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Why do people fall in love with over 30 free agents? Joey is on the downside of his career. why bring him in? are you looking for a good player for the next 10 years ? I'm not I'll take one for next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubes Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 We are so ridiculously thin at OLB that I would sign him just to have a body there who knows the position. Worst case, he looks bad in camp or we find someone better and we cut him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloFanInMaryland Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Does anyone recall how old London Fletcher was when he joined the Deadskins? He had 9.5 sacks this year with the Dolphins. Don't you think that we could use that production on our defense. Would you rather have Jerry Porter playing LB for Bills or Maybin? Exactly.... I think it would be a good pickup considering it is a position of need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthICE Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Also wasn't Pat Williams 'too old' and that is why TD didn't sign him? What is he now 37? And the guy is a probowl talent still. That 30 year old barrier doesn't apply any longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrFishfinder Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 "joey porter is getting his wish. i'm reporting on foxsports.com that the fins are releasing him today " http://twitter.com/Jay_Glazer/status/9024626870 He would have a sizable chip on his shoulder for the Dolphins, but that's about the only real upside I see.

dgrid Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 so much signing him anytime soon. Can the Bills talk to him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bananathumb Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 We need linebackers and I think he's one with a little experience and size. Why not? We brought in TO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Jabber Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2010/02/12/d...is-the-concern/ Here's a link on why the Bills might sign Porter. They don't have enough depth at LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 He'll be a Buffalo Bill by next week. Easily. Our new d-coordinator knows him, as does our new director of player personnel. reports are that they are the only 2 people in football that know him.

NoSaint Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Also wasn't Pat Williams 'too old' and that is why TD didn't sign him? What is he now 37? And the guy is a probowl talent still. That 30 year old barrier doesn't apply any longer. That might be a bit of a bold statement there. Yes, players don't just shrivel up and become ordinary joes on their 30th bdays, but let's be honest.... There is a trend that after 10 years in a violent sport, they tend to get a step or two slower, more prone to injury, etc. Favre played well last year but I don't see anyone saying that mcnabb and manning have 10 more years. An example does not prove a rule like that. It's possible, but generally unlikely that he will be a probowler for 5 more years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffhcb1 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 reports are that they are the only 2 people in football that know him. Signing Porter, assuming he actually leaves the Dolphins is a no brainer. Apparently we want to move to a 3-4? News flash......we dont have the players, either at LB or DL. It will take at least 2 years to GET the players via draft. SO, you sign Porter for 1 year. He's as good or better than anyone we have at LB. So you upgrade and buy yourself a year to acquire more talented youth. Watch the Pats go after him if he's out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Maybe not.... http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4909494 Wow, that's one amateurish move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaninATL Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 correction - to spite.............. It would be beneficial for the simple fact joey would play harder then ever just despite miami. His LB coach is now our DC and he was also around Chan in pburgh...if we can get him cheap then y not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsfansince72 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Porter is not the same Porter from 3 or 4 years ago. He's clearly in the latter stages of his career. I'll pass. You sign him because he's better than any other linebacker we currently have on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Rob Johnson Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 He'll be a Buffalo Bill by next week. Easily.

Billsfansince72 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 If that happens the writings on the wall for Schobel. Why, The Bills can't have 2 outside LB's? Your theory needs an explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billnutinphoenix Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 as much as I am not in love with this guys character, I can see him being a good OLB in the 3-4 scheme...also it would put Maybin as a backup... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
