FluffHead Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I know nothing about him other than its a starter released at a Bills position of need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 He got hurt 2 years ago & he's struggled last year. Was a top 5 G before & made like $9 million. Very interesting but he's 31. Sometimes it takes 2 years to come back from an injury fully. Without a doubt, he's worth kick the tires on if the price is right. The Bills could use a vet on the oline & it would be another need off the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 PFF rated him the 2nd worst guard in the NFL last season. TB tried to trade him, but apparently didn't even get a sniff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He creates competition, lowering asking prices...also this draft is full of good guard prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimer1960 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 He creates competition, lowering asking prices...also this draft is full of good guard prospects. How would this lower any one else's asking price? I agree if he is still highly regarded he *might* affect the market slightly, but I wouldn't think much.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 PFF rated him the 2nd worst guard in the NFL last season. So, it would be an upgrade if we sign him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Malooga Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) PFF rated him the 2nd worst guard in the NFL last season. TB tried to trade him, but apparently didn't even get a sniff. Nobody is going to trade for a big contract on a player that they know will end up being released. They will, more likely than not, always wait until that player is released to sign him to their own contract. Especially a player that has been hurt, and is making A LOT of money...that's a train wreck waiting to happen. With that said, it is absolutely worth looking at players like Joseph, and others who have been let go. A change of scenery helped Jerry Hughes quite a bit. (Granted, he was not coming off an injury.) Edited March 8, 2014 by Bob Malooga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsCelticsAngelsBama Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 There are mucho guards in this draft that are as good as --> he is now, and they'll just cost a mid round draft choice. JUST SAY NO TO THE SCRAP HEAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 The guy is a big name as he use to be a top 5 guard a couple of seasons ago but injuries the last two seasons have slowed him down. Wouldn't mind bringing him in as a backup but I would hardly want him as the solution to LG. Better free agent options available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
