bobcat Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 I think you answered your own question. Lets concentrate on signing backup lineman and people off the Rams practice squad!Ralph would spend 10 million on Shanahan ,or cowher but not on a big free agent when a team has so many weak starters at certain positions.He knew no big name coach would come to Buffalo,but he looks good for trying.I know it is important to build threw the draft but after only 1 winning season in 10 years dont you think they should have a good core of young players already?Add some experienced vets to the mix and maybee with good coaching and game planning we can make the playoffs before the Lions.

I would love to sign Jamal Williams and he would be a great fit for us. As would Dansby. But the Bills have not been aggressive in Free agency since Donahoe. The Bears today signed Peppers, Chester Taylor, and Brandon Manumaleuna. There is a team that is not complacent about losing. I scanned all thru the KFFL wire and cannot even find one "Bills are interested in" rumor. Williams makes so much sense for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStranger76 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Right on Pete, and it's not even like we are screaming for zillion dollar superstar free agents. We just want some solid guys who play their role well and can improve the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuckknox Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 He does not play for the Chiefs or Rams. He is not even on some one's practice squad. That's why not. Why would the Bills want him?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lets_go_bills Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I don't know how much he has left but he was dominant at the most important position in a 3-4 D as recently as two years ago. NT is a huge position of need for us and it would save having to burn an early pick on one. We have so many needs and it's a weak FA class. Jamal Williams ought to be on a plane to Buffalo right now. And not allowed to leave town without signing a contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in San Diego Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I'm baffled by this non interest? Nix should know Jamal quite well. Ooops, maybe I answered my own question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBaroo Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I hate to say it boys but Ralphie is right- we have to build through the draft. We are going to have to take our lumps this year and build up for next year - everyone knows we are soft in the middle so I think all picks in early rounds must be line picks. I just looked at our schedule for next year - we are going to take our lumps our away schedule could literally be all losses= 3AFC east teams, Ravens, Bengals, Packers, Vikes . . . and maybe Chiefs in Arrowhead!

PaattMaann Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I am baffled as to why we have not had contact with Jamal Williams- assuming we havent, which we very well may have had, things at OBD have been quiet even throughout the staff hires, so hopefully we have been in contact since his release yesterday morning....but if we havent, I have no idea why not... we have money to spend, we will spend money, we need to upgrade this position obviously, get it done so we can focus on other areas during the draft and the rest of free agency....and look, ur gettin a probowl talent player, at an area of extreme need/importance And with the Buddy Nix connection I am suprised this deal is not already done, its been 24 hours now haha...im still holding out hope. This signing lets us draft a future NT who can contribute some this year...say a Jeff Owens or a Linval Joseph in round 3 or 4....it all just makes too much sense...I hope thats not why the bills are NOT doing it, I was hoping new regime would be smarter than the previous 3 or 4....please OBD, pull the trigger on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to be defeatist but come-on! Sounds like year one of Greg Williams. No thanks! You can bring in some FA talent to work with the newbies. Don't tell me there is no one available in th is crowd of FA or trade bait that won't upgrade this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufcomments Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Jamal Williams would be on a plane right now if Buddy thought he had something left..... Maybe they are better off doing the draft , I believe the first 3 picks will be lineman Then if Williams is still out there after the draft we go after him.

Don't tell me there is no one available in th is crowd of FA or trade bait that won't upgrade this team. We may not have a choice. It's just more frusturating because we have not made the playoffs in the last 10 years. It is looking to be number 11. I think when we finally get to the playoffs we will all appreciate it more.

OldTimer1960 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 If Jamal Williams is health and has much left, then SD would very likely not have released him. Unless the Chargers are in trouble financially (I don't think they are), you have to consider that Williams may be a shell of his former self. He may still be better than the alternatives the Bills have, but you can't justify paying him the amount that he used to make when he was dominant if he no longer is. For all we know, the Bills may have contacted his agent and found out that he is looking for $ that is too high compared to what the Bills believe he has left. Just because a guy used to be an outstanding player doesn't mean that he still is. Injuries and age take their toll in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 We build thri the draft then 3 years later we don't re-sign the good palyers we drafted as they cost too much so we re-draft the same DBs we let go previously for no return. A viscous cycle. with no cap this year it wa sideal for us to fill holes with good players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
