bowery4 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 We may gave to release him and Dwan to create enough cap space No we wouldn't. Edwards maybe, but even that is speculation. The way things are structured in many players contract is throwing a lot of uninformed opinions around this board. Truth is, everything; even informed contract structures on websites are speculation or leaks by agents, teams don't release this info except in overall numbers of the whole team. I am sure that numbers add up or they wouldn't be considering this. I am not guaranteeing that Kelsey stays long term (or though out his contract) but he will not be gone this season for money reasons. http://content.usatoday.com/sportsdata/football/nfl/salaries/team please click the link: About NFL Salaries The truth about teams is flexible at best and we don't know the whole story.

Taro T Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 If the Bills are in a position where camp cuts really hurt, where they have to get rid of a guy they'd really like to keep, and are afraid of another team picking them up, then I think we can all be happy. Well, with them going back to a 4-3, having to cut some guys at the D-line that they really don't want to part with is a great thing. Them trying to force DE's into OLB slots the past 2 years, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Anderson did some impressive work last year: http://espn.go.com/blog/boston/new-england-patriots/post/_/id/4719462/andersons-free-agent-tour-continues "As previously noted, Anderson is one of the Patriots' more interesting free agents when it comes to assigning a value, as he was a part-time player (47 percent of the snaps) who was productive (10 sacks in regular season, 2.5 sacks in playoffs) in the role. When he had to assume full-time duties late in the year, he played well." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndirish1978 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Super Mario, Dareus, Williams, Mr. Anderson Every single one of those guys can win one on one battles and be a threat to sack the quarterback. NE might have to keep a couple of the 100 receivers they signed in the offseason on the bench in order to have someone chip block or help double-team.

John from Riverside Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Yeah I am thinking Kelsay and Dwan That is why I am really not sweating anderson......I would like to have him but I think Kelsay is gonna get single blocking on almost every play and will be productive..... BUT Anderson is better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rev.Mattb74 ESQ. Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 so Tim Russerts mom bought the bisons, then put deer in Tom Bradys hotel room, which Mario Williams shot. Jim Kelly ate deer out of Wannys stach then Chad Kelly twweted it to his fiance at Clemson who then got on the same plane that had Mark Anderson on it that was on the way t Baltimore but then turned around to Buffalo after it was hijacked by Peter Pan. Oh, and Ralph is cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JStranger76 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Anderson has always been more of a speedrusher/specialist type, while Merriman showed (while he was healthy) that he can still "set the edge" very effectively. These 2 could be a pretty effective rotation at RE position if used right. I am also very interested if Carrington beats out Kelsay for the guy who spells Mario. I def like our rotation if Anderson signs.....a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estro Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Kelsay is going no where, you can bank on that. He's not great, but he's okay and he played better later in the season when they were back to playing a lot of 4-3. Kelsay will never be good, but hes okay and you just don't cut servicable veterans when you have no one to replace them. Dwan Edwards, I agree with you though. You'd have to think he's a goner if Anderson is added. A lot of teams have sniffed around Mark Anderson, so I'm not sure this visit precludes his signing. There a few other teams in the mix according to multiple reports. I do like the fact he's spending the night though, and meeting with everyone tomorrow. The extended visit seemed to work wonders with Mario, maybe the same will be true again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shouldaplayedflutie99 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 If anderson is signed carrington is gone...he should be gone anyway, unless he can compete at dt...unlikely...I would love Anderson,merriman,kelsey,williams, and moats rotating DE...that is my ideal situation..maybe wrong, but I like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 If Anderson is signed then no one is gone. We all know the Bills need depth! This is depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 This can be merged if need be of course, just wondering if we sign anderson doea that spell the end of merriman? Me personally I'd give shawne one last chance to try and get healthy although Anderson would be a welcome addition Just don't see merriman as a DE he will just get swallowed up by tackles, the only way he could is if he goes wide 9 which is brutal against the run. Kelsay and Dwan would have to go. KELSAY IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE! Man what is with you guys, we need more DEs not less plus Anderson will be the backup not Kelsay. If anderson is signed carrington is gone...he should be gone anyway, unless he can compete at dt...unlikely...I would love Anderson,merriman,kelsey,williams, and moats rotating DE...that is my ideal situation..maybe wrong, but I like it Carrington is listed as a DT now.

It's a foreign concept That hopefully will be righted in the coming years. People Our defensive coordinator made it clear he wants to mold this defense after The Giants. We're not cutting defensive ends just cause we may sign someone. Get used to having talented players on top of good players. This is a great thing enjoy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ganesh Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 There was an (unsubstantiated) report earlier today on another board with a poster who twice said he has very reliable info that Anderson checked into a Buffalo hotel this morning. Of course it doesn't mean anything whatsoever, but there were also a few reports that he was scheduled to visit a mystery team in the AFC on Monday (yesterday). It's possible. I like it if they are simply going to sign him for two years or something and then just release Edwards, or even S Johnson or Kelsay (which I highly doubt). I thought we only checked into hotels in the afternoon/evening....Just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truth on hold Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Kelsay and Dwan would have to go. Is Anderson any better than those guys? I'd keep my powder dry and look to upgrade the oline, WR or CBs with our remaining cap space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
