BillsBacker5545 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 (edited) Sal Capaccio was on sirius radio saying Joey Porter is reportedly scheduled to visit Buffalo on Tuesday. He said he knows Bills fans have been over anxious for activity so this should help. He said he would update via mobile as soon as he has the chance. Will Porter be like all the other visits last year and say thanks but no thanks, or do we not let him leave w/o signing a contract? Thoughts? Edited to add: I was NOT on SIRIUS Radio today. I have no information regarding Joey Porter and the Bills. If he is meeting w/them I know nothing about it. http://twitter.com/SalSports/statuses/10138124168 Edited March 7, 2010 by Lori Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Cocktosten Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Now that is a guy I would love to have. Nasty attitude, massive chip on his shoulder and solid production. Also he could teach Maybin a thing or two like how to eat a steak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would love to have two shots a year at Miami. JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rackemrack Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 this better not be a repeat of last year when every free agent LB visited but none signed. I would love to have porter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 If he is the only FA we sign, I would be happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 This will also be a good test for the new Bills regime. In the past if there was a FA who visited Buffalo and the move made sense, it barely resulted in a contract signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Playing w/ Porter might push Maybin to grow some hair on his sack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStranger76 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I'm not asking for much, but one guy like Porter for the D and one guy like Ben Watson or Antonio Bryant for the O and that's not too bad for such a weak free agent class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrobot Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 With a switchover to the 3-4 it'll be important to have Porter here, coaching up Maybin and whatever RD3-4-5 OLB they draft, continuing to ramp up attitude as well. Foote is a MLB, so I'd rather have Porter here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthICE Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I would love to see porter here. I love his confidence and his attitude. If we had a QB and some others with the same fight in them, we might be a hell of a team again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStranger76 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 It would also allow us to move Schobel, who I don't think will have as smooth of a transition to OLB as many want to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsfan=pain Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 It would also allow us to move Schobel, who I don't think will have as smooth of a transition to OLB as many want to believe. I agree with you! I bet Schobel would love to play for the Saints or the Texans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortured Soul Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Remember, our new DC was Porter's position coach. If he's coming for a visit, then he would seem to have Edwards' blessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAST MODE BABY! Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I think Porter is a loudmouth...but I also think he'd add some attitude to a D that really needs it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts? this would be a good signing to groom or youngsters behind, and the signing should allow us to drop Kelsay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombstone56 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 With a projected move of Schobel to OLB and Ellis ...and Maybin,, .this looks more like schobel is likely to retire ( or gets traded),,if he doesnt im not sure where Porter fits ,,, we need inside help more it seems IMO ,,, but were going to have a huge hole now at DE unless Williams goes outside then whos the NT ??
