June 1st available players, DT Kevin Williams can make sense.


Recommended Posts

Nope for me.

 

What I would like is a flier on Jermichael Finley. If he believes he is healthy enough to play, and our doctors, and James Andrews and others clear him, why not?

 

He was one of the most disruptive tight ends in football before his injury. It's his choice to return or not. If he takes his $10,000,000 insurance policy which is the smart move, then god bless him, and enjoy the next phase of your life. If he and the medical professionals truly believe he is fine, post fusion surgery, then he could be fantastic in this offense. A big, playmaking TE, who is a difference maker. As long as we do a Revis deal meaning he gets a nice income on a two year deal higher than average for a TE, but no guaranteed money, our risk is mitigated well.

 

He's not in a position of strength to demand guaranteed money. The upside could be an explosive offense. I'd want him over Moeaki any day of the weak.

The thing is that the Bills probably already feel they've got their Jermichael Finley, in the form of Tony Moeaki.

Finley before that crushing hit was durable, vs. Moeaki who cannot stay healthy. I'd love to see Moeaki workout, but past performance predicts future performance and Finley was fantastic for years. I understand your comment though and hope he works out.

Depends on his point of view. He's made 12 million dollars so far in the league. Is he going to risk his future health for another million dollars?

He's coming from a 4-3 defense and in 11 seasons he made All Pro 5 times. Not knowing what is in store for Dareus this would be a great signing for an already great defense.

can he play a 4-3 Def end ?

I don't expect anyone soon, but would love to hear they got a defensive lineman. Way more than any other position, this is our thinnest area and a must have area.

I'd be happy with another DT that excels at two-gapping like K. Williams (and, you gotta love getting another Williams.) or better yet, in my humble opinion) another RDE pass-rusher. Right now, we probably have no one that could replace Jerry Hughes as a real threat to beat a LOT one-on-one. Again, pass-rushing is the #1 skill we'd want any RDE free-agent to posess. Pass-rushing is such a rare skill in the NFL....

KW would certainly be a nice addition if healthy. We'd have some great depth with him in the fold. You might even see Schwartz experiment with Dareus at DE in the 4-3 because he's agile enough to play the position. I'd sign him for the right price.

 

Finley is another guy worht pursuing. You're obviously not going to pay hima big money, long term contract. He's likely to get a 1 yr $1.5M to $2M deal.

 

Don't sleep on Moeaki though. He's already turning heads in OTAs. He's very smooth when turning up field after the catch and has great hands. Very capable of making one-handed grabs. I would not be surprised to see him supplant Chandler as the starting TE by opening day.

 

A TE group of Moeaki/Finley/Chandler would be very nice.

 

Finley is intriguing because of his 6'-6" frame and long arms. He's the jump ball guy that the Bills don't have yet.

Agreed. I like where your head is at!

PFT’s 2014 All-Unemployed Team: http://profootballta...nemployed-team/

 

Defensive tackle: Kevin Williams, Isaac Sopoaga, Aubrayo Franklin

Williams has missed just five games in 11 NFL seasons, but he’ll be 34 in August. Nevertheless, he could still be a contributor for a 4-3 team. Seattle has reportedly shown interest. Sopoaga and Franklin are fits at nose guard in 3-4 schemes.

Makes sense even if they don't get rid of him.

 

Dude is gonna be suspended. If goodell doesn't do it, marrone should.

I don't agree. Fine him or something, but don't penalize the rest of the team, fans, etc. unless the league does it.

Now that Dareus made another knucklehead decision, I'm starting to see the original post point of view. With this second arrest, I just see Dareus imploding at some point.

 

Kevin Williams is 33 so if healthy, he can be a stop gap for 1-2 years. It's a shame a #3 pick can underwhelm his first couple of years and now is getting in trouble with the law twice in one month.

 

I still contend Finley would be a nice addition to the team.

Disruptive? The guy was an afterthought in their offense. He drops too many balls and celebrates a first down like a super bowl. Highly over rated with his best years behind him. He shouldn't be allowed to play after getting his neck and spine fused.

And the number 1 reason it makes sense.....

 

1. His name is Williams.

 

Everything else is secondary!

 

I dismissed the thread's premise immediately...that is until dummass Dareus continued his vehicular stupid tour. I think DT is now an area of need. And we may as well grab us some more Williams while we're at it.

 

"vechicular stupid tour" made me laugh, but it's like MD does not get it. We def need some backup DT's, esp. if he continues his actions and the NFL suspends him.

This Dareus is imploding and as of right now we are on the verge of some very big things, one is that this team/franchise just pushed all their chips in the middle of the table and went all in with this draft and secondly, which is directly linked to the first, is that there will be a new owner and nobody knows if this franchise will be relocated and if these administrators will even have a job. The last thing that is needed at this time is having one of our integral parts of our team, which happens to be a very high draft picks, to be screwing up the way Dareus has been lately.

 

I would like to see the Bills sign someone like the caliber of Kevin Williams, have Dareus play a couple of games to restore some of his value and then trade this immature idiot to lrecoup some draft value out of his big stupid ass.
