FluffHead Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 What's the cap look like now? Any chance to pick up a cheap safety? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Between Chris Williams, Graham, Rivers, Spikes, Dixon, Chandler, and Carpenter, do the 7 of their guaranteed contracts add up to Byrd's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorkington Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Wish we could have gotten multi year, with incentives. But one is better than none. Welcome to Buffalo We have most of the pieces for a damned good D, hopefully the coach can bring it together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Nails Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Branch got a one year deal last year; performed and signed a long term deal. If it works out, I see this heading the same way, if not, we don't have that much skin in the game. If I'm spikes you gotta live the prospect of playing behind marcel and Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FluffHead Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Why do they need a cheap safety? The cap is not an issue and worrying about it is a waste of time Pretty clear that's the position in the worst shape on defense in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Pretty clear that's the position in the worst shape on defense in my opinion And why is that, just because they lost Byrd? Aaron Williams played well at safety last year and will take over at FS now. The Bills planned for this by drafting Duke who I like and Meeks last year and still have Searcy to battle it out for SS spot I don't see it as a need Edited March 15, 2014 by Max997 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffHead Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 @BrandonSpikes55: Gotta silence the lambs, get on my Buffalo Bill! #51 #BILLSMAFIA taking back the #AFCEAST #PoWwWwW And why is that, just because they lost Byrd? Aaron Williams played well at safety last year and will take over at FS now. The Bills planned for this by drafting Duke who I like and Meeks last year and still have Searcy to battle it out for SS spot I don't see it as a need You like Duke based on his 10 defensive snaps? And Meeks based on his 0 snaps? I'd rather get a Chris Clemons or Ryan Clarke and not depend on mid round draft picks with 0 experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Could be they plan to draft a MLB but want to give him a year to develop, so use Spikes this coming season, let him move on and play the guy you draft this year in 2015.

I'd rather get a Chris Clemons or Ryan Clarke and not depend on mid round draft picks with 0 experience I liked Duke when they drafted him, didn't like Meeks as much but that's why they drafted both of them in case Byrd did leave Funny you didn't even mention Searcy who I think could start and play well but they like him in the role he played last year Either way they have 3 younger guys on the roster that can battle for playing time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spikes is young...This is a "show me" deal...If Spikes plays really well he'll be re-up'd fast...They may Draft one anyway for insurance...But they'll be hoping Spikes is the man...

Not at the table Karlos Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) I hope he re-signs after this year. Im loving this off season. I think we are set to pick pba in the draft and focus our remaining assets on the offense. I can definitely see playoffs this season Edited March 15, 2014 by kr632 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
