YoloinOhio Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) FA next year, played for Roman. Likely to keep Big Tree in business. @MaioccoCSN: The #49ers have yet to discuss a new contract with RG Alex Boone, who is open to being traded, according to source. http://t.co/nDMzPV5yeA Edited April 29, 2015 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLbills Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I wonder why he defended Harbaugh so much and then did a 180 on his coach? http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/04/19/alex-boone-dramatically-changes-his-tune-about-49ers-dysfunction/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I dont know but he was a good player for them which is all i care about....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jokeman Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 He's making $3.7m and we have about $6.9m that doesn't give us much wiggle room if we want to sign a few guys after May 12. Personally I'd pass as think we need as many young bodies as we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure yet I'd say the guy has one good thing about him, as me, him, Matthew Barnaby and Derek Roy all share something in common.

Yet but with him on a 1 year deal I don't like giving up a pick for him. Sure we could extend him but I don't think he's a great player so would pass on him.

Problem solved... http://overthecap.com/player/chris-williams/2179/ Boone was PFF's No. 17 guard last season, https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2015/01/22/2014-pff-all-nfc-west-team/ Guards: Mike Iupati (LG, SF), Alex Boone (RG, SF) The San Francisco left-right of Iupati and Boone get the call. Boone managed to finish in the green as both a pass blocker and as a run blocker while Iupati, on the other hand, posted another example of his customary one-sided play — run-blocking dominance and lacking pass pro. That strong showing as a run blocker, though, (second-highest run blocking grade among guards) was impressive enough on its own.

I'm not sure yet I'd say the guy has one good thing about him, as me, him, Matthew Barnaby and Derek Roy all share something in common. I believe Incognito is a LG. Boone is a RG. BUT it seems the Bills are much more interested in adding a new tackle than a guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Wagon Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 5th this year and conditional 4th/5th next year, make it happen Doug. Answers our biggest remaining hole (outside of QB) and allows us to go BPA in the 2nd and 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) Except the dead cap money Williams will count against the books in 2016-17. Roughly $1.7 million if cut after June 1...that's insignificant. BUT it seems the Bills are much more interested in adding a new tackle than a guard. They should be looking to upgrade both guard spots. They can still draft an OT to be a swing man behind Glenn and Henderson...

I would play him and incognito at both guard spots. I believe that Roman will be able to adapt his scheme to the players talents far better than Hackett (Marrone), therefore making the O-Line better, even with the same personnel. I think that's why that haven't done as much to address the O-Line in the off season, like many thought they should have. Reading between the lines on Whaley's comments about the draft, that not too many players will make it, IMO, is because they know the O-Line is already there. The pieces are there to put this puzzle together, but Marrone was trying to build the puzzle looking at the back of it. The Bills are going to be awesome this year. They knew they needed the playmakers on offense and went out and got them. The QB situation will play itself out and one of them will step up and separate themselves as a #1.

Moving Williams would offset the cap in a big way. If we acquire a guard there's a built in cap relief there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
