dayman Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) I can't think of a FA more valuable to us. Our window is now. That would be the most universally hailed signing, I wouldn't care if we paid him double market value and lost Hughes to do it. Thoughts?

BuffaloBillsForever Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Didn't he get tagged? With that said TE is one position I would overpay for in today's NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 You are blending the two guys - wr is d Thomas and TE is I Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I agree that they should go after J Thomas CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Mud Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 (Julius) Thomas....and no I am not sold on him, he is a product of the Manning lead offense. Especially if we over pay to get him. I would rather have Jordan Cameron......and let us not forget about Big Sammy, aka MarQueis Gray, I'd really like to see what he can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Overpay for Charles Clay instead. He fits Roman's offense like a glove and we take him away from div opponent. Also they transition tagged him so they don't get comp for losing him. He will still cost less than j Thomas. We would need to pay him a boatload to sign somewhere with no QB.

KDIGGZ Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 They should just go out and find every athletic 6'8" former basketball player they can and bring them all in for a tryout and sign whoever they think is the best and bring them to training camp. I'm totally serious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbosrrgood Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) Why would you say we should "overpay" anyone, to do anything? Saying we should sign him is one thing, but overpaying him would be to say "let's give him more than he is worth to us". Why would anyone possibly want to do that? Overpaying is simply poor business, in football, or anything else. Edited March 5, 2015 by Turbosrrgood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Wagon Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Julius Thomas is going to severely disappoint a fanbase this coming season. Let's hope it's not us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I'd be shocked if Bills are able to sign a premier WR or TE in free agency. Gonna have to crazy over-pay when they'll be catching passes from Cassel, EJ or a rookie. Better to slightly over-pay for a premier Offensive Lineman.

Max997 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) I like Julius but Peyton can make any TE look good and since he will command a high price tag I would rather pass Bills offense is not going to be wide open so so not sure its worth giving a TE 8-9 mil Edited March 5, 2015 by Max997 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frankish Reich Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Julius's stock dropped like Lumber Liquidators in the second half of 2014. The Broncos are pretty clearly going to let him walk, and I think he'll be very disappointed in the offers he gets out there. Having said that, he was a game changer in 2013 and the start of 2014 in the red zone. I don't think he's a very good fit here since he's a one dimensional pass catching TE and it's not like our other gaping problems (QB, OL) have been solved. But if his price drops? Grab him, assume it was the ankle that caused him to all but disappear in the 2nd half, and watch him grab those rebound-style passes in the end zone.

section122 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Both big name TEs come with serious question marks. Thomas missed a lot of time before his great season in 2013 and then broke out again in 2014 before getting hurt again. He played in 5 games in 2011, missed all of 2012, missed 2 games in 2013, and 3 in 2014. So out of 64 possible regular season games he has played in 32. That's not good. Cameron has had 3 concussions in a short time. Cameron had one good year out of 4, has a career high of 80 catches, hasn't broken 1000 yards ever. Neither of these big name TEs are worth the money they are going to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be more than fine with this plan. Some overpayment would be worth it to take him away from the Phins. He would be a huge addition to the offense.
