BillnutinHouston Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I think TE is a bigger priority. They need more help there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg de'Ville Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Jerry Porter from the Raiders is a free agent next season. He would be great. 196634[/snapback] Ask Chump Bailey what he thinks of Jerry Porter. Porter's his "daddy." That would be a nice add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuntheDamnBall Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Yeah I did like him and gave him a really long leash as far as putting up with his struggles from a fan's point of view, but those days are nearly entirely in the rear view mirror. His continued concentration lapses have cost this team too many times and I can't justify him having the #3 spot merely as a good blocker. When he DOES catch the ball he shows great leg strength in getting extra yards but again he is just too inconsistent for me to keep supporting him. 195659[/snapback] Aiken is pretty similar in terms of his positives and his lapses. He can make a good catch, but then he runs for the extra two yards instead of out of bounds when clock time is critical. As for Porter, Burress, TJ, I think they all want at least #2, maybe #1 spots on a roster. I don't see us getting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Days Lois & Clark Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Seeing as how depth at WR is an issue with the Bills, here are some names of WR's who are unrestricted free agents. Could the Bills look this way for help?I would love to have Houshmandzadeh on the team, does Takeo have any influence? Travis Taylor, Corey Bradford, and Tai Streets could be worth a look, and they may come at a bargain price. I did lobby for Streets last year and still think he can be a valuable receiver. Thoughts anyone? David Patten UFA Patriots Travis Taylor UFA Ravens T.J. Houshmandzadeh UFA Bengals Plaxico Burress UFA Steelers Corey Bradford UFA Texans Troy Walters UFA Colts Troy Edwards UFA Jaguars Tai Streets UFA Lions Dane Looker UFA Rams Joey Galloway UFA Buccaneers Bill Schroeder UFA Buccaneers Dedric Ward UFA Cowboys James Thrash UFA Redskins 195510[/snapback] Good list. I think that more than half of those guys could provide the Bills with a quality 3rd receiver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg de'Ville Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 The "dogs" on that list: Taylor, T(h)rash, Edwards, Galloway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just going on what I've seen of him in camp and in small spurts during the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
