KellyToTasker Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Pettine used Buffalo as a stepping stone. Buffalo signs Spikes to a one year deal. If we sign Britt, it'll most likely be a short term deal. Small sample to divulge anything of merit (Spikes and Britt definitely have their reasons for the Bills not committing to a long term agreement with either); however, it can appear that the Bills are turning into the transition/proving one's worth team. Hey, if you're a player that has some baggage.....Come to Buffalo and revive your career. It's a low key/low pressured environment and you can just play ball. The problem with short term deals, the success can be short lived and the team's continuity is not sustained. Now, I believe the Bills are committing to a core group of players and will better attempt to extend the better talent. I just hope that certain pieces of the puzzle do not turn into a revolving door. If you sign Britt to a one year deal, you still need a long term solution.....The same with the Middle Linebacker position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homey D. Clown Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Great News... Britt left Buffalo without a contract. Hopefully that doesn't change. We really dodged a bullet there... (not sarcasm) (at all) I think he sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyToTasker Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Whaley seems to think that former 1st round draft picks that have not produced at a high quality, but are still in the NFL, are not draft busts. If he signs, it'll be another former 1st round draft pick. The signings of Williams and Rivers had Buffalo tied for the NFL lead in former 1st round draft picks on a team's roster. Thus, Buffalo could be competing as a team with the most 1st round draft picks (we'll see how that goes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(not sarcasm) (at all) I think he sucks. Britt certainly hasn't lived up to his collegiate promise. But given the state of our receiving corps, don't you think he's worth a flyer? Let him compete and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggerdaddynj Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 he would immediately become our best WR. we don't need that [sarcasm] Sad but true! Think people are missing that point. And comparing him to Da'RIck Rogers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Me too. Me 3.Bills could be an ideal fit for Britt. and maybe we could lose Graham somehow. Leave him at a bus stop or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I'd prefer trading our 2nd to Philly -or a 3rd and conditional pick- for Jackson. JMO. Now about his contract..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanForever19 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Now about his contract..... I put the odds between extremely slim and none that a.) Philly would send him to us b.) Desean Jackson would be cool with it and c.) not only would he be cool with it - he'd renegotiate his HUGE deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetterNextYearRight? Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Why is it considered a bad thing that the Bills are picking up many former 1st rounders, who up until this point are considered busts? We aren't paying them like superstars, they are depth and possible starters. The 1st round label simply shows that they have talent that has been untapped. To me it says he has confidence in Marrone and his staff to develop these guys and that's a good thing we haven't seen lately. No I don't like Britt, guy has issues and needs to get the other side of th country to avoid his NJ friends and whatever past he's made. But I love that Whaley is at least gathering top end talent whether it's been fulfilled or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrobot Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Where does Britt need to go? Arizona. Where will he go? NEP. Sorry. That's my prediction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Kelly Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Ya know what? We are still searching for talent. However you want to slice it. Draft/Free Agency. We need more playmakers. I do think Britt has talent. If he had a year to prove what he is worth and we did not break the bank, than why wouldn't you sign him? And just like DaRick Rodgers, if it does not work, than you cut em loose. I'm betting he goes to Carolina, but he would fit well with our receivers pushing him to be better. They are young and on the verge of great things, maybe they are just the group that puts up some big numbers with a guy like Britt that demands double coverage on the other side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I'd rather trade a pick to the Eagles for DeSean Jackson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swnybillsfan Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I'd rather trade a pick to the Eagles for DeSean Jackson. understandable. but if you could get this guy on a value/low risk/high reward/show me type of contract, that might work too. add a player with talent from the draft, see what the futures contracts guys have to offer, let them all compete their @$$es of and get the best guys out their on sundays. having said that, who knows if this guy would want to play on a "show me" contract in buffalo or if the bills like what they have seen after kicking the tires.

i miss marv Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I'd rather trade a pick to the Eagles for DeSean Jackson. I love the idea of trading for Jackson The Bills have the cap space and I can't imagine the asking price is that high. Jackson Johnson Woods Goodwin would be nice. Grab one of those tight ends and with Spiller on the field that is a lot of speed. It probably will never happen but I will be interested to see what the Eagles get for him.
