BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Excellent, hopefully we can sign Wade Smith soon too. The more O-Lineman, the better...they can only give us better depth. I'd still like to see us bring in another OT too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tennesseeboy Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Green, 34, has been entrenched at right tackle for the Silver & Black the last three campaigns, tallying 38-starts. His unstable play and tendency to rack up penalties has been one of the major issues along the trenches for the Raiders. The Bills have a need along the offensive line and Green is one option that won’t be pricey and that has starting experience. Gee don't we already have a poor offensive right tackle who gets a lot of penalties? Hmm..domestic violence charge, assault charge at an airport.... The RAIDERS are happy to get rid of him?

metzelaars_lives Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 so is this guy better than the last OT the Bills signed off of Al Davis' 3-ring circus squad? I can't imagine. Langston Walker was actually a pretty good RT for us. Just went on a Raiders message board and they're all laughing at us. Went on a Chiefs message board the other day and they were all praising Wade Smith, saying the Chiefs should re-sign him and he was their best OL last year. If the Bills couldn't buck up for Wade Smith and had to settle for a guy who may have cost a few bucks less, I gotta believe that's not a good sign.

ndirish1978 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 From PFT "The Bills have jumped off the sidelines this offseason with an odd move. The team signed tackle Cornell Green to a three-year, $9 million contract, according to NFL Network's Jason La Canfora. Last with the Raiders, Green turns 34 this offseason. Buffalo needs warm bodies on the offensive line, but Green didn't seem like a player that was going to get much more than the veteran's minimum. Of course, he may have to start in Buffalo."

drewfla Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 No salary floor. This will be the starter. I laugh at everyone who is so confident...."this is a depth move." No 400,000 is a depth move. $3M is our starter. Remember no salary floor. Ralph can spend as little as he wants. Those of us who believe we are tanking for Jake Locker heartily approve this move!!

HurlyBurly51 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Purely a backup/ depth guy I wouldn't count on that. For the Bills to spend $9M on this guy probably means they have him penciled in at starter. It really makes no sense to pay someone this age and this level of performance $3M per year to be a backup, when no one else was interested and he could've been had for league minimum.
