Freddie's Dead Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 What happened to one of the best front four's in the league just a year ago? Wrex happened. He clearly laid out the priorities for what they wanted to accomplish. They still have time to pick up a nice bargain with the UFA market calming down. Kyle's restructure gives us a little room, but not much. We might get one guy that's a level above a street FA. Spotrac hasn't been updated yet, so I'm just guessing here based on what's out there about Kyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerley could bring a nice slot option to Buffalo's passing attack led by Sammy Watkins outside. Bell was the odd man out in a Detroit backfield led by Ameer Abdullah and Theo Riddick. He has more experience than second-year player Karlos Williams, but Williams opened eyes as a rookie and, with LeSean McCoy and Mike Gillislee also in the fold, Buffalo seemingly is well stocked in the backfield, even with McCoy's pending legal issues. TE Jim Dray would be more of a blocking complent to receiving tight end Charles Clay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) @SalSports Bills host trio of offensive free agents: http://www.wgr550.com/Bills-host-trio-of-offensive-free-agents/22573094 I wrote about Kerley and Bell yesterday, which you can read here. As far as Dray, he’s spent the last two season with the Cleveland Browns after four years in Arizona. The 29-year old is considered a blocking tight end, but can contribute when called upon in the passing game. The 6-5, 253-pounder caught only 23 balls over the previous two seasons with the Browns, but grabbed 26 passes for 215 yards for the Cardinals in 2013.

26CornerBlitz Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 @AroundTheNFL .@greggrosenthal assigns free agency grades for the AFC East. How did the Patriots fare? http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000645303/article/free-agency-grades-afc-east Buffalo Bills: Buffalo was tight to the salary cap even after releasing Mario Williams, and it showed. They were able to retain the left side of their offensive line by tagging left tackle Cordy Glenn and bringing back left guard Richie Incognito. A handful of role players left the building (Nigel Bradham, Chris Hogan, Leodis McKelvin), but they can be replaced. It was a positive the team got Kyle Williams to take a pay cut, which provides some stability. Grade: C+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Players who need to step it up Prisco: Now that the free-agency frenzy is over, here's the guy -- or guys -- who need to step up for each team, from traded stars, new free agents and next men up. Buffalo Bills Jerry Hughes, DE: He is their best pass rusher, really their only outside pass rusher, but he didn't have the type of season many expected in 2015. His sack total of five was way below what the Bills expected. Now with Mario Williams gone, he has to get that number to double-digits in 2016.

26CornerBlitz Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Values left in free agency Free agency can still offer some affordable values for NFL clubs. Here's a look at some of the more interesting options available that won't bust a team's cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I still like the idea of Jhari Evans at $3 mil if we release a guy or two. We have our 5th, two 6ths, for depth positions to make up for who we release. My reasoning is Miller gets to learn from the best, and when I was younger, it was always a minimum of 2-3 years in a learning curve for O-Lineman. We have our second road grader out there with Richie. We pound the ball, and inevitably someone always goes down on the line for a game here or there every year. Most people don't notice because they are lineman. Miller is the swing for the three interior positions. Early in his career I believe he played Center so should be able to back up RI, EW, and JE. A short 2 year deal, and we have Miller for 10 years afterwards if he progresses. I don't think we could afford basically anyone else on the team except for these undrafted free agents as fliers.

3rdand12 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) I like the idea, but would prefer to get their via freeing up money on long term deals with Glenn and unhappy Gilmore. any one have thought on when these deal might happen? Sure might be helpful sooner than later i guess, as Bills have to keep the draftee money in the bank theoretically Edited March 21, 2016 by 3rdand12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Nails Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 From Vic's article, it sounds like they are trying to get Gilmore done. Who knows how far apart they are- looked like they were trying to get it done before free agency. Hopefully one gets done soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
