3rdand12 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Because fans NEED to know! I've been going through Easleys trash for 2 years trying to find out what happened Damned straight Brother ! This is huge . Hairston WAS the best swing tackle we ever had. And then he showed he could work the right side decently and had potential . We have major decisions to make here that depend on Chris's condition and prognosis. I am still not over the Easely mystery theater . But at least he is out there performing at a high level after what ? 4 years of wondering wtf ? Tea leaves are not cutting anymore .

Max997 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) In a perfect world Hairston is healthy. I am all for the Bills drafting a tackle in the 3rd -4th round that could compete with Hairston for the RT spot. I just am not keen on drafting a tackle in rounds one or two. No way the Bills will be able to sign Glenn and another tackle while Woods is also signed. Not sure what you mean, are you referring to being able to sign him to an extension after his rookie deal which would be 5 years down the line? Anything Hairston provides will be a bonus but they can't count on him being anything more then a backup at this point Edited February 20, 2014 by Max997 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewildrabbit Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 He tweeted this month that he is getting better! Chris Hairston @C_Hairston75 Feb 5 #flappybird I'm getting better where the rest of yall at http://instagram.com/p/kEGNtbxiAu/ From what, nobody outside the org knows, or at least isn't saying. He suffered a leg injury and then went on IR with an undisclosed injury of some sort. The Bills had him penciled in at RT before the leg injury, so they must think very highly of him, or at least they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uhhh, that tweet means he's getting better at a cheesy video game called Flappy Bird. And he's asking other people what their scores are. I don't get all the attention Hairston receives. All the attention? Like one thread per year? I thought the guy fell off the face of the earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Linen Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I guess I'm in the minority but when healthy I thought Hairston was starting material at RT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I guess I'm in the minority but when healthy I thought Hairston was starting material at RT. Without the hiccup there was probably a good shot at that. Now, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXBILLSFAN Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) I put Hairston under the category of "why look a gift horse in the mouth". He's better than nothing, and by nothing, I mean Pears. If we can get Robinson or Matthews with the 9th pick, so be it, and he'll be a solid backup/swing tackle. If not, we run with him for a year and draft a RT later in draft to back Hairston up. Edited February 20, 2014 by TXBILLSFAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I think Hairston is a mediocre starter. It'd be nice if he's healthy simply for depth purposes, and saving us a spot to fill via FA/Draft. That all being said, since the Bills have said nothing about it, I assume he's "done".

dave mcbride Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 He's going into his fourth season and he's yet to have a good game. I doubt he'll be on the final roster. Time to cut the cord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything Hairston provides will be a bonus but they can't count on him being anything more then a backup at this point Yes. The hope for me is the Bills find another FA tackle like Pears. Pears was decent his first year, but declined rapidly this past season. Hairston fights for RT with whatever FA they bring in. The loser becomes the swing tackle if capable.

Have to disagree as you don't pass on a player because you are worried about paying him 5 years down the line. A lot of things can happen in those 5 years. You would hope Glenn will still be around but Wood may not and if he is doubt he will command another big contract at that time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
