Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 "At 6-foot-6, 305-pounds, Reiff possesses the ideal size and athleticism of a starting tackle in the NFL. With a short shuttle time of 4.75 seconds, Reiff owns the lateral quickness that is demanded to shut down the NFL’s premier pass rushers. Plus, Reiff has five seasons of experience under his belt at both left and right tackle. Reiff’s versatility will be demanded on the free agent market, but if the Bills come calling for the former Hawkeye, then Reiff may be destined for the right side." http://billswire.usatoday.com/2017/01/27/bills-2017-nfl-free-agent-targets-ot-riley-reiff/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDogg20 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I could live with Reiff. I remember a lot of people on this board wanted him when he was coming out of college. Think he could be a huge help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 He will cost too much. Look for us to grab a 2nd tier guy or rely on a draft pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty McFly Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 That would be a good move it the Bills can afford it. He will cost too much.

NoSaint Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 That would be a good move it the Bills can afford it. What makes you say that? What info you got? I'd assume based on paying 3 lineman already. And a TE and a RB and a QB. Can only give out so many big vet deals and RT is likely to be a spot you can save.

simpleman Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 He will cost too much. Look for us to grab a 2nd tier guy or rely on a draft pick. It all depends on your priorities. And how important you believe the Oline is to the success of the offense and winning. Personally, considering the potential of getting a starting RT in the draft is poor this year beyond the 1st round, and our high picks this year are needed elsewhere. FA is the best way to finish our O-line. We are a decent RT away from having a top quality O-line. I feel that while TT is a passable bridge QB, his contract is a detriment to building a playoff worthy team. If you don't pick up his huge contract, you not only have the cap space to resign Gillmore, you can afford to resign most of your own FAs you feel are worth resigning with the exception Woods. And you can sign a Free agent RT that will start immediately and finish the line to allow whomever your bridge QB is to play to his maximum potential. I would prefer Ricky Wagner for his experience at RT, his versatility and his age, but would be open to Reif if he was willing and able to switch to RT. Recently losing the option of having Kujo at swing tackle makes the option even more appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Can't see it happening unless all 32 teams view him strictly as a RT as some team will come offering him LT type money and want to play him there. Also makes me a bit nervous taking a guy who's only played RT one season. Thought I had read the RT from Baltimore is also a FA this season?

aristocrat Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 he's gonna get 10 mil per to play that spot. we are gonna have to pick up a cheap option but i wish we'd just make the choice of swapping glenn and kujo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Linen Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 So i guess we might be drafting one in rounds 3-6 No, we'll rely on Whaley to find a guy that can play above what he's getting paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigK14094 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Is there no chance Henderson will stop using weed and pan out as a player for the Bills at RT? How many games left in his suspension? 10 to serve....I don't recall how many he got served last year. BTW....I think he needs to get a good lawyer and sue the NFL and the Players union in his circumstance, he can make it really uncomfortable for the NFL and Union and might just win.

I did not know we had lost him. he has one more years on contract doesn't he ? I prefer to keep him as swing tackle this season coming. now way we are picking up Reiff, not that i am against it wholly. But Bills can upgrade with an FA vet. anyone but Mills, well almost anyone..

This makes sense to me, but folks keep telling me it won't work. Why not? Glenn is getting paid. The question is, is the drop off from Glenn at LT to Kujo lesser or greater than the improvement going from Mills to Glenn. Of course, it's also a matter of overall chemistry, but the latter idea appears at least plausibly a significant overall upgrade. The Bills have a history of understating injuries.

Dragonborn10 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 RT will be a second tier FA or draft pick. Money in FA will be spent on Gilmore, Z. Brown, a safety, and a WR. If they let Gilmore walk and A. Williams retires, then they will spend heavy on the defensive secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
