ganesh Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 We could see a whole new team at next training camp, if everything that is being said around the press is true. Positions that we may have to draft/FA LT - Cordy Glenn - This might be a 50-50 chance. Bills should sign him. It is hard to get good/above average LT LG - Richie Incognito - Will the Bills re-sign him to a contract extension RT - If Henderson cannot play, they have to possibly draft a new RT WR - I am not sold on Woods as a second WR (Not Chris Hogan). We would need a 2nd true WR. Also, not sure who can really play the slot. TE - We definitely need a second TE to back up Clay. Leary played well and the next few weeks will decide if he really can be the backup. Gragg will be the 3rd TE. RB - I think this position is set and I don't see any changes to the 1-2-3. Defense DL - The Williams twins could be gone...Salary cap purge. Philosophical difference. Kyle and Mario may have played their last games in a BIlls uniform. LB - We need three starters at this position. Preston Brown regressed and sucked. Nigel may hit FA. Safety - THis is another position of need. If Aaron Williams retires that is a big gaping hole to fill CB - Can Gilmore be signed along with Glenn, Incognito and Bradham. That is a tough choice. We could possibly have 12 new starters (in the worst case) next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterpan Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Dont forget Marquis Grey looked good at TE last year. He is very similar to Clay. I also dont think we should cut KW he is too good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooklynBills Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 We could see a whole new team at next training camp, if everything that is being said around the press is true.

It is hard to get good/above average LT I think he will be re-signed LG - Richie Incognito - Will the Bills re-sign him to a contract extension Him too RT - If Henderson cannot play, they have to possibly draft a new RT Draft (Kouandijo will be cut) WR - I am not sold on Woods as a second WR (Not Chris Hogan). We would need a 2nd true WR. Also, not sure who can really play the slot. They know they need an upgrade as evidenced by the Harvin signing last year. I would imagine a vet UFA would be the best option here. TE - We definitely need a second TE to back up Clay. Leary played well and the next few weeks will decide if he really can be the backup. Gragg will be the 3rd TE. Draft RB - I think this position is set and I don't see any changes to the 1-2-3. Dixon will be cut. Maybe they go with Gillislee as the #3. Defense DL - The Williams twins could be gone...Salary cap purge. Philosophical difference. Kyle and Mario may have played their last games in a BIlls uniform. Corbin Bryant - True NT - Marcell Dareus LB - We need three starters at this position. Preston Brown regressed and sucked. Nigel may hit FA. Hughes - new MLB - Brown - new rush LB Safety - THis is another position of need. If Aaron Williams retires that is a big gaping hole to fill If Williams retires, we are screwed here. They will need to bring in two starters. Graham is overpaid, Rambo is not an everydown player, and Duke and Meeks are not starters. CB - Can Gilmore be signed along with Glenn, Incognito and Bradham. That is a tough choice. Gilmore is already signed for next year at $11 mil/yr. So he is definitely still here, but an extension will actually reduce his cap hit. We could possibly have 12 new starters (in the worst case) next season. I only count 7 spots, 8 if we lose A. Williams. But some of those spots have starters there already but would prefer upgrades, like RG(Miller) and OLB(Lawson).

Rubes Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 With reference to Gilmore, are extensions on rookie contracts allowed? I didn't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Henderson struggled this whole season. If it turns out he lost weight, and was actually somewhat sick since September or so, that could explain his weak play. Assuming he's over the illness next season, I'd problem give him another year to see how he does. If he truly was healthy till maybe around Nov and and his play the first half is as good as he really is, then I'd imagine you need a replacement for him regardless of whether he can play or not.

ganesh Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 Dont forget Marquis Grey looked good at TE last year. He is very similar to Clay. I also dont think we should cut KW he is too good. Agree with KW. But the salary cap, the age (32) and season-ending injuries in back-to-back seasons will hurt his chances. Plus if they have to pay on the OL (Richie and Glenn) then they have to take some money away from the DL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Don't forget about Ty Powell and Tony Steward at LB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PearlHowardman Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 The Buffalo Bills need a new head coach. Rex Ryan is a dinosaur/relic/has-been with a WWE mentality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 @ChrisTrapasso OTC has #Bills +2M over 2016 cap of $143M (cap will be higher than that). Cut MW/Leo/Urbik, free $18.5M. BUF's in fine shape. Most teams are So, #Bills will have anywhere from $20-27M in cap space in 2016. No "cap issues." As I mention, cap constantly going up helps every team obv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Player Available Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 One thing the new Bills ownership has proven. is spending to the top of the cap. paying big guaranteed bucks for sub.500 blow hard head coaches. Does not necessarily translate to more wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
