Dr. Fong Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Great. Makes defensive line even more of a need. I really hope they're planning on bringing someone in during free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler#81 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 There goes my pick for Franchise Player.. JK. IMO, he's been part of the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1B4IDie Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Wow, didn't see that coming... I'm guessing that was sarcasm. The writing is on the wall for Stroud and has been for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollars 2 donuts Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) Wow, didn't see that coming... Didn't see it coming, but not real surprised. Someone is going to pick him up, and I think he does have gas left in the tank in a 4-3 D. Edited February 16, 2011 by dollars 2 donuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stl Bills Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Great. Makes defensive line even more of a need. I really hope they're planning on bringing someone in during free agency. Yeah because its not like Stroud wasn't playing out of position and wasn't hurt all the time. I like Marcus but he's not the same player he once was and doesn't really fit our defense. This is not that big of a deal IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoner7 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I just got the text from the Bills. I cant say im too suprised, he was pretty bad last year. That leaves us with Williams, Troup, Carrington, and Edwards (and Spencer Johnson I guess.). Hopefully we bail on Kelsay too and use those money allocated to those two guys and poney up for Sioli. The we are a top draft pick away from a very stout DL. DE: Williams/Carrington NG: Sioli/Troupe/Williams(pass rusing NG) DE: 1st Round pick/Edwards.

BLZFAN4LIFE Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 This is pretty shocking to me. While Stroud is definitely past his peak, but he is still valuable to this team's D-line. He is a guy that we absolutely need as a rotational player. I wonder what is behind this move. Faith in the young guys? Plans to draft D-line early and often? Speculation that there may indeed not be a season next year, therefore Stroud will be to old? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 There goes my pick for Franchise Player.. JK. IMO, he's been part of the problem +1 He was THE worst DLman we had all last season. I'll put it this way, Kelsay played better at LB than Stroud did at DE last season. That's how bad he was. I wonder if this move is indicative of the Bills' draft plan. GO BILLS!!!

I like Marcus but he's not the same player he once was and doesn't really fit our defense. This is not that big of a deal IMO. It's easy to run with this and say that Fairey, Dareus, Cam Jordan is the pick now, but i think Stroud was gone no matter who the #1 is going to be. Edited February 16, 2011 by Why So Serious?

stony Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Didn't see it coming, but not real surprised. Too much money for his production. Or as Brad Childress might say, he was a "programmatic non-fit" for the 3-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyT Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Too bad it had to go down this way. From all accounts he was the anti-Haynesworth and he tried his best to fit into the new scheme but it just didn't work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Marcus but he's not the same player he once was and doesn't really fit our defense. This is not that big of a deal IMO. The point being that despite being on the downward slope and playing out of position he was better than whatever else we have. Now if they don't go out and bring in a free agent we'll be relying on a rookie to make an impact. I'm all for improving the team, but wait until you have a replacement before you start trimming the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
